The SawStop is designed with the sudden stop in mind, so I don't believe there is much worry of damage to the motor. Another part of what actually happens is that the blade assembly, is mounted on a pivot, so that when the bar slams into the blade, angular momentum yanks the blade down below the table. That's how it was described to me anyway.
Bob, wow, the guy actually used his finger? Now that is serious confidence in the design. I didn't know about that video. Pretty damn impressive. I'll have to look it up on youtube. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: d...@andrew.cmu.edu Tel: (412) 268-9081
