Bench Saw

Benchtop table saws are lightweight and are designed to operate while sitting on a table or other support. These saws are the least expensive and least capable of the three major types; however, they can offer adequate capacity and precision for many tasks. One new type of bench saw, made by SawStop, incorporates a mechanism that applies a small amount of electrical current to the blade of the saw. This current is continuously monitored. If the saw detects a change in this current (as would occur if a hand or other body part came into contact with the blade) an automatic braking system is activated, forcing an aluminum brake block into the blade.
