My high-school shop teacher had one of these.

I was at a TI DSP talk at some conference. Dude was showing off TI’s tech for saw stop with a hotdog but would not use his own finger

Fortunately stick people have no skin in the game. 🚬😎

I have a Sawstop table saw. It is a great saw and the explosive charge to lock and drop the blade into the machine in case your fingers might come in contact with the blade is worth the $4,000 asking price.

Well that got a follow! 😂

If Elon Musk sold power saws.

Alternative title text: “We’ve had some malfunctioning units that use the explosive to enact a emergency stop.”

😂👍

🤣🤣

So, this is the company that supplies saws to Horror movies?

There is optional blade launch accessory with sure-kill targeting.

Oh it's very interesting! It works in a very similar way that an outlet in your bathroom will shut off if it defects water. The blade has a small floating electrical charge and when it comes into contact with skin, which is grounded, the small amount of current discharge is picked up by a sensor

Aren't smartphone screens capacitive rather than resistive?

A very small change in electrical current.

When you touch the blade it closes a circuit and that gets detected

They add a human soul to every blade, and detect a slight relief from agony when in human contact.

So, 3 months until some power tools company is like "At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus..."?

Perfect for a lawsuit and government pay

SAW had entered the chat.

And to be even more pointlessly pedantic, 5 metres of flesh & bone, but that's only one of the dimensions, what about depth and width? If it's 1 micrometre² x 5 metres, that's only 0.005 millimetres³. \end of pedantic joke, you are correct. The velocity of chainsaws is frightening.

I agree with the statement, but not the math. If the deceleration is instant 100% to 0% at the the 0.5s mark, you'd be right. If the deceleration is linear, you divide speed by 2 and multiply it with the breaking time, giving 2.5m. Anywhere between 0m and 5m if it's on a curve.

I did a job interview for a engineering position at saw stop. Within 3 minutes of meeting the engineering manager I was sure he would have made sure the Punch Cards at Nuremberg we're being run, to keep track of what the gas Chambers had done the night before.

sounds like something i need in my lair for those pesky secret agents

For... umm... reasons

Every bit as useful as the 'random orbit saw'!

If you get loads of those blades and add mayo, could you make a cold saw salad ?

SawStart Redemption. 🤔

RIP John Kramer

Ah… That’s how chainswords work!

John Kramer would like to invest

Are they fighting for that copyright with Lionsgate films?

Yup, that's the MAGA mentality.

Don't give elon any ideas

Me & my Sawstop adore your cartoon. I already got my husband the T-shirt w/, "My approach is useless here." Now I'm gonna have to hang this is the shop.

Oh no, did you start woodworking too? You already have us laughing over everything else, NOW you're gonna make us lose a finger? 😆

sounds like "the trunk detects if something blocks it and presses even harder" but that's not a comic, that's a real cybertruck feature

One of these things is not like the other… 8:)

Veni, Vidi, Vasectomy.

...Okay. Take your "I actually laughed" Like and show yourself out.

Did Jigsaw invent this?

Very funny!

It’s what Tesla engineers produced when tasked to create a CyberSawStop.

That looks like Walter White.

"New from Tesla."

Love stick figure drawings. Never get old

If it’s a bit cheaper I’m in!

I feel slightly guilty for laughing

Like one of those tap on lamps. Convenient.

As someone who has used a Sawstop table saw hundreds of times, this made me…

@hillhighlander.bsky.social

Polarity is Important. "What was that?, N/O or N/C?"

😂😂😂

Might improve race times....🐊

Time to invite Trump for a visit to our fair country. Include as part of his itinerary a row on the future Australian Olympic rowing course. Perhaps he can commission a before and after portrait to hang up in Colorado.

Why did Heisenberg switch to the woodworking industry?

How nice.

Made by Tesla?

the vibrating ones

The compound mitre saw will remove your fingers with more pizzazz

New from Harm Depot. Where evil-doers get more dungeon.

But... It's SO MUCH less expensive!!!

SawStop is no doubt trying to figure out which of its patents this infringes on

Cross section of the woodworking amputee curios community.

They're divided but persistent

Do I still need to use a push block with SawStart or will it rip straight automatically?

😂😂😂😂 Love it!!

Clearly, a trap saw, to trick your meth kingpin, who is also a do-it-yourself woodworker, into their own dearh.

I dunno what Sawstop is, so this one is the superior product automatically.

😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😅

If you're going to lose a finger, it may as well be a clean cut!

I need to order some of these immediately!

Wish I still had my table saw to tape this comic to!!

Useful for DIY home surgeries!

The perfect learning tool when your kiddo still doesn't care for your 'No,don't touch that!' warnings.

Very humane design, same philosophy as using a sharp knife: clean cuts heal best 😌

It's the engineering equivalent of 'ripping off the band aid'.

We've had auto stop for years, auto execute could come in handy to be honest. We get a lot of american and albertan visitors in my town

Helpful if you flub your reading of the Necronomicon

Make one for Tesla steering wheels.

Differentiate they say

Should also blow the saw to pieces right after to be really efficient.

Note that the people in this very helpful illustration demonstrate the saw's full capabilities by highlighting their lack of hands and feet.

My husband got a table saw for Christmas. He just loves utubes on everything stopsaw. He’s an asleep but I’m laughing for him!

Terrifying

Jigsaw trap ass design

youtube.com/shorts/1zgls...

That is unreal!

I especially love the demo where they use a raw wiener

From Randall's POV, idk why he'd want to discourage people from actually clicking through to the site to see it. But there's the bot too yeah.

fair point - he should be using it for that purpose also, probably!

How flies time. Very small watches.

Modern version of this?

Wait a minute. Omg. It’s called a SawStop? For 50 years I thought it was called a SawSah

It’s made by Tesla, isn’t it?

Moving towards the Star Wars-no guardrails universe!

That’s really funny! Can I borrow a few hundred dollars for the week?

😂😂😂

SawStop is actually a great feature. But, their attempts to force everyone to gave it on their saws is just rampant overreach. Makes me want to invest in SawStart.

hashtag SORESTART...

Omg this made me lol

Hello

Salesman should be a tiny clown on a tricycle...

Ok. My husband works for SawStop. What does this mean? He is actually the electromechanical guy who makes sure no limbs are lost.

Brilliant, tyvm for the laugh!
