Table saw
Steps:
1. Tom explains the table saw has smartphone technology. It has a feature allowing owners to program who can and who can’t use the saw. The saw can sense if the phone nearby has user clearance.
2. Tom shows the table saw can sense moisture and drop the blade. This technology has been around, but this model uses a two-time use cartridge that pops the saw out of the way if a body part should get near it.
3. Tom is able to reset the saw by flipping the two-time use cartridge and bringing the saw blade back to the top of the table saw.

Nothing takes the place of safe practice. Been at trade over 30 years and never an issue , thats the result of good training. Butr lots of the vids on here make me cringe… Not many out there like Tommy Silva..
Didnt Bosch lose the lawsuit SawStop brought on them and now the Reaxx cant be sold in the US?
They should have Beavis and Butthead test this stuff out.
does this work with all angles?
muy buenos vídeos excelentes herramientas pero una falla que sean EN INGLES
none of this is even close to new…
I wonder how that would work with a banana instead of a hot dog?
Going to have to find a new way to slice my hotdogs.
Ridiculous.
If you take the blade lock/drop out of each of these which is the better saw?
Sure it would be great to have that back up safety but common sense and good safety practice should be enough.
Two levels of protection would mean that there are two stages of protection. If one failed there would be a backup to counteract the failure. Just misworded I guess.
I want to see Tommy using this ridiculously contrived piece of ‘safety gear’ day in, day out, as his only table saw. Then, I might consider it.
Hey guy’s, I just need some clarification please. I thought that the safety mechanism was set off by the difference of current going through the blade being touched by skin, and not by moisture on the skin. I can understand how the safety system could detect a difference in current, but how could it detect moisture?
Keep up the good work. I can’t get enough of your videos, and I enjoy learning from them as well.
It looks like this particular saw doesn’t detect the hot dog as quickly as sawstop does. Just what I see anyway.
I think we all have to consider the fact that saw-stop was the first saw that started this system which is why this is more advanced it is because they had a model to go off of and improve upon it. That being said I do agree that this system is better but I still use the respect for saw-stop for starting this system
As a physician who sees table saw amputations about once a month, I sincerely hope that everyone with a table saw spends the extra money for the best available safety features. Your thumb is worth much more than $1500.
Can I test it with my little sausage.
What if you don’t have hot dogs for fingers?
I had a shop teacher who would not let anyone use the table saw, for liability/ safety reasons, but one day while he was using the saw a kid dropped a rack of lumber and startled my teacher and he ended up losing 2 fingers. It’s not always the operator of the saw that has full control of everything. I use ridiculous safety gear because I never know what can happen, I would use this if I could afford it.
When I was working I would not have had one of these saws. Try to cut a 2×4 that has been rained on
Wow now that sucks how many times are you planning to cut your hand of if you need that dont use a table saw go make cookies
What model Bosch table saw, i want one.
I would never wear long sleeves while using a table saw. Why increase the chance of clothing caught in the saw blade?
Why not test with a real finger if so confident this works?
Sawstop better take real notice of this. A set up where like this, where the exact same thing happens (but doesn’t destroy the blade) is a much better idea.
Very cool
I did not expect that
they should use an air piston or electronic solenoid instead of the cartridge. that would be continuous use instead of continuous cost.
Why are you guys advertising a saw that cannot be bought? They should have demoed a saw stop, you know the saw you can buy.
good luck using all that on a 45 degree mitre
What is shelflife of these cartridges?
Whatever happened to Sawstop? Were they the ones that came up with the idea a few years ago?
