Harv Weiler Finger Save

Harv Weiler

Harv Weiler was making a rip cut on his SawStop Industrial Cabinet Saw. As he was pushing the wood against the rip fence with his left hand, he accidentally touched the blade. The safety system on his saw triggered immediately, reducing Harv’s potential injury to a minor cut that needed only a common bandage. “…

New SawStop Prevents Serious Injury 

John M (woodworker)

Without the SawStop, I would probably have a thumb that is ¼” shorter. 

Hobbyist Thanks SawStop for Saving his Finger

“The blade stopped immediately.”

Anonymous Worker (woodworker)

Thank you SawStop for saving my finger! The blade stopped immediately.

“The finest saw I had owned.”

Mick D. (home-builder)

Far more luxury than many would expect from a contractor’s saw.

“The best purchase I have ever made.”

Mark (diyer)

Avoid accidents to you and your family. Probably the best purchase I have ever made.

“It can happen to anyone.”

Doug J. (cabinet-maker)

We had our first “save” yesterday. It can happen to anyone.

“SawStop saved my finger.”

Chris A. (home-builder)

Some stacked material fell over and pushed my hand into the blade.

“I only had to put on a band-aid.”

Brian G (diyer)

The blade did exactly what you designed it to do. It sure is going to be nice having my finger. Thanks SawStop!

“Just a small nick on his thumb.”

Shop Worker (cabinet-maker)

Just a small nick on his thumb and not a more serious injury. As a responsible employer, we rest more easily knowing we have safer machinery for our workers.

“I only had to put on a band-aid.”

Brad W. (hobbyist)

Pretty amazing that I only had to put on a band-aid.

“I didn’t even know.”

Carl S. (cabinet-maker)

I didn’t even know I touched the blade.
