The SawStop table saw is a top of the line cabinet saw built for top quality work and safety. The table saw is a fundamental part of any woodshop. The SawStop safety system is designed to make the machine as safe as possible. A unique cartridge is located in the machine. Any conductive material that makes contact with the blade fires and jams the cartridge block into the blade. The blade then drops down into the body of the saw to get it out of the way. All this happens within 5 milliseconds, helping to ensure the users stays safe. **This is NOT an excuse to ignore the 3 commandments and safety rules. Merely a way to help prevent more serious accidents. | The SawStop table saw is a top of the line cabinet saw built for top quality work and safety.
