SawStop is a leading manufacturer of innovative table saws, renowned for their patented safety system that stops the blade on contact with skin to prevent injury.

Founded in 2000, SawStop revolutionized the woodworking industry with its proprietary electronic detection system and fast-acting brake.

Their product lineup includes jobsite saws, contractor saws, professional cabinet saws, and heavy-duty industrial models designed to meet the rigorous demands of both hobbyists and professional woodworkers. With rigorous self-diagnostic electronics and premium fence systems like the T-Glide Advance Fence, SawStop ensures unparalleled accuracy and peace of mind on every cut.
