I guess on a direct drive table saw that can happen. On my Grizzly, belt driven, the thermo overload would protect the motor. I don't know what it would to my power twist link belt. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Hodges" <tomhod...@fuse.net> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2010 3:03 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Table saw injury report.
Wow! That's amazing technology. Trouble is, I use my table saw to cut wieners. Just kidding. I wonder if that system causes damage to the motor, like a bent shaft, mounting hardware, etc. Thanks, Tom From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dan Rossi Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2010 11:18 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Table saw injury report. Tom, The SawStop table saw has a feature that if the blade hits something wet and conductive, like, say, a finger, it fires a bar into the blade stopping the blade in some insanely short period of time. The demonstration is always of running a hotdog into the spinning blade and the hotdog is barely nicked. However, it destroys the blade, and requires a new explosive cartridge after it fires. You also need to use an over-ride if you are cutting wet wood. Never-the-less, it is an insurance policy against a time when your judgment or concentration falters for a split second. -- Blue skies.
