How do table saws detect fingers?

Table saws are powerful tools commonly used in woodworking and construction. While they offer great efficiency and precision, their sharp blades can also pose a significant safety risk. That’s why innovative safety technology has been developed to detect fingers and prevent accidents while using table saws.

One of the leading safety technologies used in table saws is Active Injury Mitigation (AIM). This technology works by monitoring a small electrical signal in the saw blade. When skin comes into contact with the blade, the conductivity of the human body causes a change in the electrical signal. This change activates the safety ...
