Every woodworker knows the risks: Accidents in the workshop can never be completely ruled out, despite skill and caution. The revolutionary Active Injury Mitigation (AIM) system from SawStop was developed precisely for this reason. It protects by stopping the saw blade the moment skin contact is detected.

This safety system is built into all SawStop saws.

No one wants to compromise. When SawStop began developing the first SawStop Cabinet Saw, it was clear: compromise was not an option. While the response speed of the legendary safety system was undisputed—the saw blade stops upon skin contact in less than five milliseconds—so too had to be the strength and durability of this new saw.

Introducing a new machine into an already saturated market with established favorite brands was a real challenge. SawStop had to impress across the board. Therefore, they relied on solid cast iron, robust steel, and an uncompromising commitment to principles such as „more weight,” „thicker material,” „maximum rigidity,” and „minimal deflection.” The result: the most powerful and heaviest 10" table saw on the market.

Today, nearly two decades later, the Industrial Cabinet Saw still holds this title.

This consistent material philosophy is evident in every subsequent model series—the Professional, Contractor, and Jobsite Saw Pro.

SawStop accessories also benefit from this. For example, the Sliding Crosscut Table is made from 6061 T-6 aluminum—a material of aircraft quality.

Why all this effort? Because that is precisely what we expect from our tools. And we are convinced that our customers expect the same.

Anyone who owns a SawStop receives top-notch performance—without the slightest compromise on safety.
