Any one got a link to that circular saw video?

I'm after the fairly long video where it shows the guy in slow motion touching the blade and how it stops without cutting him at the moment he touches it. Prior to that they do a demo with a hotdog.

The only ones I can find are on youtube and not the long video I saw originally.

Anyone?

You know, that is actually a very simple but impressive design.

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Amazing how quickly they get it to stop.

I'm amazed everytime I see this - incredible...

Simple in concept maybe, but engineering it to be almost 100% reliable took the guy years and untold thousands to develop.

i'm deaf so i dont know what they were saying.

how does the blade detect if it's finger or not?

Next video he needs to up the ante. I'll let you suggest which part of his anatomy he should test it with.

Electrical conductivity of the skin.

Haha, i think you should volunteer

that guy aint doing that for sure, if we're talking about the same thing :rolleyes:

The force needed to stop that disc is huuuge though, which is why it pretty much self destructs

Says it all really...

Just wondering if the machine won't break/stop itself during normal work somehow, like when it touches something metal or a bit of water or something on the wood...
