Harv Weiler Finger Save

Harv Weiler was making a rip cut on his SawStop Industrial Cabinet Saw. As he was pushing the wood against the rip fence with his left hand, he accidentally touched the blade. The safety system on his saw triggered immediately, reducing Harv’s potential injury to a minor cut that needed only a common bandage. “

The extra dollars one has to spend in order to purchase this saw is well worth it,” he said. “Not only is the performance and quality of materials used to construct it exceptional, but the ability of the blade to stop when contacting skin is incredible. Rather than having to see a doctor to attend to a serious wound if the saw did not have the safety brake, I simply cleaned my wound and applied a band aid. I learned from my error. Thank you Saw Stop!”
