Amazing video - a buzz saw that cannot cut fingers

[Corny]

I am really impressed. If that guy earns millions from that - he deserves it.

I can never seem to watch your videos

I don't know what a buzz saw is but I know that cutting fingers off is bad, so the product must be good!

I don't know what a buzz saw is

...

Really?

Re: Amazing video - a buzz saw that cannot cut fin

I found the video on youtube, it is pretty cool but it broke the machine but that is still better than losing a finger.

...

Really?

Google sez it is a big circular saw thingy. I don't think I have ever used a saw.

That's brilliant, and I imagine that many, many fingers will thank him in the future .

Of course, if you have half a brain, you would have made yourself a "pusher" for the wood you are planning to put through the saw.

That is incredible. What a great idea. I sure wouldn't be concerned about replacing a few parts if it saves my fingers or my hand. You can't stuff an air bag back in the steering wheel if it goes off either. I agree Corny, whatever he makes from this he deserves it.

You really want to show your confidence in your invention? Slide your dick into it.

Re: Amazing video - a buzz saw that cannot cut fin

It is a nice idea but my concern is that it trashes the saw and if you were to saw a piece of green wood or other wet wood, say that had just come in from the yard out of the rain, you could easily trash a saw by mistake and this would be most likely to happen in areas of high traffic where the device could be of the most benefit such as in a builders yard or on a building site.

The key is not water. It's not salt either. It's the combination. Last time I checked, wood doesn't have much salt in it. We do have a fair amount of salt in us which leads to our electrical conductivity.

This is a fantastic invention. I hope he releases a cabinet saw version, not just a contractor's saw.

I'd also like to point out that table saws can also be very safe, when used by safety-conscious users. Push sticks anyone?

My Mother's second husband cut off his finger with a table saw. I was there when it happened. It was not pretty. We were 30 miles away from the nearest ER. By the time we got to the hospital it was too late to do much except sew up what was left.

My Mom drove him to the hospital. I've never seen her drive like that before. 7 miles down the canyon (speed limit 35 MPH) in 6 1/2 minutes.

Screw the $60 in damage. As soon as I see this on the market, it goes on my wish list.

that was freaking amazing.

Re: Amazing video - a buzz saw that cannot cut fin

Saw (pun intended) a similar video about this invention one or two years ago.

It'll sure be fun if you trust in technology, but it fails at the moment you put your finger in it.

It saus where the video has been embedded.

Youtube does that too.

My Mother's second husband cut off his finger with a table saw.

Someone I knew played around with a butterfly knife and nearly cut off one of his fingers. I wasn't there when it happened, but I was told it was hanging down, just held by a nerve string.

Fantastic invention!

Re: Amazing video - a buzz saw that cannot cut fin

The blade was circular and spun but had no teeth. It more resembled a largish pizza-cutting wheel than a saw. It would not cut flesh but it sliced through the cast in seconds. Maybe someone here knows how it works.

hm how is that supposed to work? a just "sharp" blade would cut through anything, also flesh

Re: Amazing video - a buzz saw that cannot cut fin

I noticed a lot of carpenters are missing parts of their fingers.

A lot of the people who work in/around my home, who I presume use these machines, seem to have a finger or two missing.

Is it really that easy to cut your finger off with one though? Why would you put your fingers near it in the first place?

Re: Amazing video - a buzz saw that cannot cut fin

Amazing!

You gotta hand it to this guy for putting his finger on exactly what makes his invention work.

Thumbs up all round

Hope he makes a fistful of money; enough to retire to a palm tree paradise where he will never have to do manual work again

If you think the material you're cutting is too wet (or otherwise conductive), you can put the saw in bypass mode (disables the brake), make a cut and the saw will tell you whether or not the brake would have fired. So you can test your material.

Also, just to clarify: the blade and the brake are trashed when it fires, not the entire saw.

This is a fantastic invention. I hope he releases a cabinet saw version, not just a contractor's saw.

There is a cabinet saw version. And IIRC, it came out before the contractor saw.

And of course you should be using push sticks. But I've heard stories of wood binding, causing kickback and throwing the operator's hand into the blade even though a push stick was being used.

Re: Amazing video - a buzz saw that cannot cut fin

To answer some of the questions:

6. Will cutting green or “wet” wood activate the SawStop safety system?
In the vast majority of cases, cutting green or damp wood is not a problem.

Wet pressure-treated wood may cause the safety system to shut off the motor or even activate the safety system’s brake. The chemicals used to pressure treat wood often contain large amounts of copper and can significantly increase the wood’s conductivity when wet. Allowing wet pressure treated wood to dry unstacked for 24 hours is typically sufficient to adequately reduce internal and surface moisture levels.
7. Can I cut conductive materials?
Yes. You can operate the saw in Bypass Mode which deactivates the safety system’s braking feature, allowing you to cut aluminum and other known conductive materials. If you are unsure if the material you need to cut is conductive, you can make test cuts using Bypass Mode to determine if it will activate the safety system’s brake.
8. Can I use a SawStop saw in a humid environment?
SawStop saws work fine in humid environments and they cut most wet wood without a problem. However, if the wood is very green or wet (for example, wet enough to spray a mist when cutting), or if the wood is both wet and pressure treated, then the wood may be sufficiently conductive to trigger the brake. Accordingly, the best practice is to dry wet or green wood before cutting by standing it inside and apart from other wood for about one day. You can also cut wet pressure treated wood and other conductive material by placing the saw in bypass mode.
