An attentive audience watches Student Workshop Instructor Gregory Elder
slide a hot dog toward a spinning saw blade at a July 25 demonstration of the
safety features of the Saw Stop, the new table saw in Dartmouth's Woodworking
Shop. When the object representing a finger hit the blade, the saw shut
down immediately, and the hot dog only suffered a nick. The blade's safety
feature works by sensing the different electrical currents of the human body.
Though Elder says he hasn't seen a serious table saw accident in his 20 years
in the Woodworking Shop, he says, "I feel a lot better now when people
step up to the saw."
