Amazing!
Not standing directly in front of the blade whilst cutting is a good idea too,
Where can i buy that actual table saw ?
Very helpful
Josh likes girls, sub to him Oh my josh
Saw this
Nice
another shameless plug video for saw stop…
Thanks 😊
Better than losing fingers but for the price I rather spend the money in the education so you never take the risk to begin with. Accidents do happen but is rare.
So the Bosch REAXX 1041A you have to replace pistons. Which is about $99. This is a nice saw and the safety feature is a good step forward with tool safety.
What happens when it’s a Multi Saw Blade?
The Blade would chomp through that aluminium block!
Hot Dogs need representation too!!
Don’t just USE them like that, it’s inhuman !!
Use illegal immigrants or shitbags on death row instead,!!!!
Clickbait
I trust and love my MicroJig Grrrrr rripppers!!!!
great tips.
Uh oh, hot dog
Very good idea and design, it works like GFCI, simple electronic electrical device at bath or kitchen to cut the electrical power instantly, the GFCI’s are resettable and can save not only your finger but your LIFE, the cost for an GFCI is under $15, you push the red button and reset the system, but why is this saw have no resettable system to save you "big time"? and yes thanks to creator, you "still have your finger and the hot dog", but the designers will keep you hostage, purposely, as long as you own that saw to draw your pocket, if by any reason a tiny drop of water or any moisture hits the blade then your valet is in trouble, I’m sure they are capable of inventing a resettable system but they don’t, good luck and be safe.
Healthcare is free here so I’m covered with my old saw.
Will it prevent any injury from happening to your finger if you shove it directly into the blade?

Answer: It won’t. You will still have a big cut on your finger, but it won’t be cut off. A few teeth will hit your finger, as well as any that hit it as the blade is lowered. You will still need to go to the Emergency Room.
the saw retracted so fast i thought you broke it for sec there
Why don’t you do an episode or more with first aid techniques for those times that things don’t go as shown.
Tom Silva always calls a Saw a Sar! This system does not work when the power is off on the table saw. I gentleman that I work with was cutting wood & turned the saw power off & reached to grab the piece of scrap wood while the blade was still turning. His hand was thrown over the blade and he lost (2) fingers.
I’m still not getting my hot dog near that blade.
Why don’t these demos use there hand.. Are they not confident in the product??
Yeah lol and the price ????
New blade: $40
New brake system: $50
Getting to keep you fingers (and the hot dog): Priceless
No hot dogs were harmed in the filming of this video.
If it works so well why not put your finger in it
I don’t have $2000 for a table saw
2:32 absolutly not!!!!!!!!!!! keep both hands on the same side of the blade and that side is the side with the miter sled on it.
Why don’t these demos use there hand.. Are they not confident in the product??
It’s not new technology. They’ve had it out for years. They first started with the mechanism and later started building their own saws with that feature. Great technology but pricey. I think I saw it first in the late 90’s at the IWF in Atlanta. Saw Stop has done a great job in developing the technology and adding it to a their table saws. Wish I could afford one.
Wow! Great demo!
Glad I watched this. Thank you for sharing!
What make Table Saw is that??
what’s wrong with people comparing this product price with finger ? oh.. they have 6 fingers, needs a free operation to remove 1.
what if you want to cut a hot dog with your table saw?
Newer comment: Bosch uses a type of cartridge that is good for a couple of emergency stops, and it’s not as expensive – and doesn’t damage the blade.
And stop mutilating those perfectly good hot dogs!!
A blade guard? On a job site? Hmmm…
lot of talk
saw it
What if there’s moisture in the wood? Safety mechanism kicks in and you have to buy a new blade and brake system?
Does this mean don’t try to cut wet wood either?
NEW ? anyone that thinks Bosch or anyone else invented this technology should watch this and note the date on the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiYoBbEZwlk this was invented in 2011and shared in April 2012
But what if you cut wet lumber?
If so confident this technology works, why use hot dogs and not a real finger? Not from outside reviewers, but the CEO of this company should make a video proving it.
thank you
Do you not have the ability to call it a scriving knife? Bad hack Tommy at work again..
Push sticks can be dangerous if you’re not careful. Pushing too close to the fence makes kick back more likely.
Did they eat the hot dog
