Re: Safer Saws
Some of our students tripped the sensor on our school's sawstop table saw one year. They were getting ready to rip a 4'x8' sheet of plywood into strips for bumpers. First couple cuts were fine then there was a loud bang and the saw shut off. It took us a moment to figure out what happened, it apparently the piece of plywood from <large chain home improvement store> was still a little too damp and that tripped the sensor.
A new blade and a few days of curing in the shop later we were finally able to cut the rest of our bumper strips..
