SawStop Clock

I want one! :)

-- I'm a wood magician... I can turn fine lumber into firewood before your very eyes! - http://www.woodworkersguide.com

I think sawstop is going to have a new product to sell. maybe this can help lower the prices of the saws. lol. pretty cool.

I think that this is one “sharp” project. :) Normally this would have been trashed but you turned it into a useful project. Nicely done!!!

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

haha, thats cool, i want one.

Timely project.

-- When the tide goes out you see who's been skinny dipping.

If you touch it with a hot dog, does time stop?

Very clever.

Why don’t you propose that idea to SS. They might thank you by giving you some bling or a deal on a saw.

-- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

Yeah send them a pic and since they do this at shows and tests, they are wasting a good thing.

I want one also.

-- Measure once cut twice....oh wait....ooops.

well i guess you can save your thumbs even if you cant stop the time…cool idea…

before you send a phto—-get a patent!!! this is such a good idea that they can actually sell!!

Wow!... your best luck is the bad fate of the frankfurter!
Very good use as a reminder, why not frame it Chris!

I love it…Great idea, I want one too!

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

Has anyone ever seen what an actual saw stop “nick” looks like? I’ve seen what it does to a hot dog but what does a hand really look like when you get saved by one of those saws?

When you think about it that clock is made from pretty valuable parts. Blade + Brake = $$ ...sorta

-- Wipe the blood stains from your blade before coming in.

Hey Chris—what can I say—you da man!

Very good idea. I was at the Portland Oregon Wood Show a few weeks ago and got one of these demo saws. Next time when you’re at one of their booths, just go up and ask if they have any to give away. They’d give one on hand and I was told throw away the others at the end of the day. No harm asking, I guess.

By the way, the show wasn’t a crowded one and I heard other woodworking shows in Oct. were not busy either. Woodworkers (who usually have more disposable income), like any other consumers, are watching their wallets, for sure.

-- The time I enjoy wasting is not time wasted

I have seen what a saw stop will do to a real finger, or rather what it doesn’t do. I had a student who managed to set a saw off, he had hardly a scratch on his finger. It was a little more then a paper cut.
I love the clock idea.

Nice comment Blake

Ebay it!!!!!

Those are expensive demos they run. I’d be using the cheapest blades I could find to save some money. I now know what I’ll do if I come-across a spent SawStop blade and cartridge. :)

-- You're a unique and special person, just like everyone else.

very cool idea.

Have you guys seen the show “Time Warp?” They take ultra high speed video of lots of cool stuff. The sawstop guy shows the saw working. You know how he tests it? HE PUTS HIS FINGER ON THE BLADE. It doesn’t even bleed! Here is the link to the video…..I don’t recommend this at home.

Recycling at it’s best!

-- Don, Pittsburgh

I think you found the perfect use for it! Every time you look at the time it will remind you to watch your fingers!

Great Idea Chris!! I think I’ll call Tom at SawStop and make one for my shop Thanks so much for posting this.

Love My SawStop!!

-- Rj's Woodworks,San Jose & Weed Ca,

cool idea

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

I guess now their demo units and blades will not be available for free anymore. You had a good idea!
I wonder if they give away the hot dogs also. I just bought a new barbecue pit.
