Felder Table Saw stopping technology
Hi guys,
I noticed that Felder Group released some info on a new table saw with flesh sensing technology. It looks like a much better system than what is used by saw stop, in that it doesn't require an actual touch to activate, working on what they call the electro-magnetic law of repulsion to predict / sense an imminent touch and retract the blade. It also doesn't damage the blade and you can resume work with "the push of a button".
It looks to be an option on one of their Format 4 saws at the moment, though I guess it may be cascaded down to their lower end saws in the future, eg. Other Felder models and Hammer etc. I like that it's an option as well - don't have to pay if you don't want it! Great!
If you google Felder PCS you'll find details.
Cheers, Dom
