 It's weird seeing a totally empty explanation, also whats the point of sawstop, don't they just use vibrating blades? [[Special:Contributions/104.23.190.110|104.23.190.110]] 12:40, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
 :SawStop is for rotating blades, like you would use for sawing wood. I'm sure there's a good reason why they don't use vibrating blades there, the most likely is "wood is harder than a plaster cast". I could also imagine that vibrating blades don't create nice cuts, which doesn't matter with a plaster cast that will be disposed of, but very much matters with wood used for construction. --[[User:Coconut Galaxy|Coconut Galaxy]] ([[User talk:Coconut Galaxy|talk]]) 13:16, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

 General observation from a s/w test engineer/woodworker: Original version of the Sawstop used a shotgun shell to fire a stopper into the sawblade which absolutely did destroy the blade. (and made enough noise to pretty much ensure a 'code brown' if you triggered the stop system.)  Newer version uses a high tension spring along with a deformable aluminum stopper assembly to absorb the energy and bring the blade to a stop. The advantage of the deformable aluminum assembly is that you can remove it from the blade (with care) and as noted can put the sawblade back to work. However you need a new ($200-ish) stopper assembly before you can re-start the saw.    Having a family member who is a retired emergency room doctor who would regularly email me 'stories from work' of woodworker injuries who came through her ER, I can assure you that a tablesaw is pretty much the most dangerous woodworking tool in a typical woodshop.    That being said, its quite amusing to me that "SawStop" became XKCD worthy.   SawStop is somewhat notorious in the woodworking community because of their highly obnoxious business practices with regards patent and legal attacks on business competitors who came up with alternative approaches to the 'saw brake' or 'saw safety' system.  JC from Canada {{unsigned ip|172.69.33.194}}
 : Funny, the version I'd heard from the woodworking community was SawStop getting vast pushback from their competitors who didn't want to licence the first saw safety systems, and then spent a vast amount of money making their own inferior systems when Sawstop pushed for tablesaws to have to have some sort of safety system. But I suppose it's all a matter of which set of propaganda from the businesses you're buying into. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.195.180|172.69.195.180]] 11:18, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
