Flesh coming into contact with the blade shorts the circuit and trips the chemical firing mechanism of a cartridge housed next to the blade. How It Worksīosch's saw establishes a low-voltage capacitive circuit between the user and a sensing device next to the blade. You could have put that hot dog on the grill and no one would have known that moments before it had made contact with a table saw blade spinning at 3,650 rpm. There was only the faintest evidence of contact, not even a cut. ![]() This time our building carpenter, Bob Lucchesi and Bosch's Jim Bohn and Jim Stevens examined the frank. The blade disappears and won't tear apart the meat. The demonstrator slowly and gently feeds a hot dog into the blade and bang, the same result. Next up was the famous hot dog test, a bit of engineering showmanship pioneered by the inventor of this technology, SawStop. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play All I can say is that it's faster than your eye can capture. Bosch doesn't say how quickly the Reaxx reacts. The saw reacts so quickly that your eye can't see the blade plummet down into the saw body. 22 caliber long rifle inside a closed room. ![]() ![]() About midway through the cut, when the blade moved from the wood's dry exterior into the moist interior, there was a loud bang, about equivalent to firing a. We wheeled the saw into the building's carpenter shop on the first floor, and after setup, we deliberately tripped the machine twice to judge its effectiveness.įor the first test we cut a soaking wet piece of pressure-treated lumber, the idea here being to find out whether the saw's flesh-sensing capacitive circuit interprets the moist lumber the same as it would a human limb. We wanted to see this flesh-saving tool in the flesh, and so Bosch representatives recently brought Reaxx with them to the PM office. This portable 4-hp, 10-inch contractor's sits on a rolling stand and comes equipped with technology that stops the blade when it comes into contact with your finger or hand. Bosch has officially entered the limb-saving table saw market with the rollout of its Reaxx table saw, nationally available June 1 ($1,500).
