The SawStop table saw is a top of the line cabinet saw built for top quality work and safety. Used for many things, the table saw is a fundamental part of any woodshop. The SawStop safety system is a top of the line design produced to make the machine as safe as possible. A unique cartridge is in the machine. At the slightest hint of conductivity like a finger would give off, the cartridge fires and jams into the path of the blade. The blade is then dropped down into the body of the saw to prevent accidentally hitting it again. All this happens within 5 milliseconds, helping to ensure users stay safe. **This is NOT an excuse to ignore the 3 commandments and safety rules. Merely a way to help safety in case of accident.

The table saw is usually used for cutting long rips out of wood. A basic first step for getting wood down to size lengthwise. A fence is used to keep the piece straight when pushing through the saw. While the saw is usually used for cutting the long side of a piece of wood, jigs and tools are available for doing cross-cuts on the table saw as well. These are used to make sure the wood stays solidly in place as it’s pushed through and to keep it straight.
