Professional Tool Reviews for Pros
If you thought putting your hand into a live, spinning table saw blade was hard to do—imagine doing it TWICE! This time, Kenny Koehler puts his index finger in the path of the Bosch Reaxx table saw blade. He does it to see how it fares with a front-of-blade contact. And let me tell you, putting your finger in a spinning saw blade is no laughing matter.
Stopping a saw blade with your finger is NOT something you want to try at home (or at work). Pro Tool Reviews took great pains to minimize the potential damage. Imagine what might happen to your finger if the system doesn’t operate as expected. Again, Bosch Tools did NOT endorse or recommend this test.
You can see our previous test that shows what putting your hand in a saw blade looks like.
Check out our comprehensive best jobsite table saw article.
We tested the Bosch ReaXX table saw and the SawStop JSS-MCA jobsite table saw. There are many ways to test how the Bosch flesh-detecting saw will react in a real-world situation. We settled on more dramatic collisions with the blade. After all, it’s not often that you give the blade a feather-like nudge.
Also, if you think stopping a saw blade with your finger is something you’d like to try on your own, we hope you’ll reconsider after watching this video. A spinning saw blade should not be something you want to get anywhere near in a casual manner.
When he's not playing with the latest power tool, Clint DeBoer enjoys life as a husband, father, and avid reader—especially the Bible. He loves Jesus, has a degree in recording engineering, and has been involved in multimedia and/or online publishing in one form or another since 1992.
Clint’s career has covered nearly the entire realm of audio and video production. After graduating at the top of his class with an Associates Degree in Recording Engineering, he began working for the famed Soundelux studios in 1994, one of the largest post-production companies specializing in audio for feature films & television. Working on a myriad of feature films, Clint honed his skills as a dialogue editor, foley editor, and sound designer. Years later, he moved into the expanding area of video editing, where he served as the company’s senior AVID video editor for three years.
Working for such clients as Universal Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, Paramount Home Entertainment, NASA, Universal Studios, Planet Hollywood, SEGA, NASCAR, and others, Clint DeBoer dealt extensively with client management as well as film & video editing, color correction, and digital video & MPEG compression. He also carries several THX certifications (Technician I and II, THX Video), and is ISF Level II Certified.
After founding the CD Media, Inc. publishing company in 1996, he went on to help start or grow several successful online publications, including Audioholics (as Editor-in-Chief for 12 years), Audiogurus, and AV Gadgets. In 2008, Clint founded Pro Tool Reviews followed by the landscape and outdoor power equipment-focused OPE Reviews in 2017. He also heads up the Pro Tool Innovation Awards, an annual awards program honoring innovative tools and accessories across the trades.
Crediting God and his excellent staff for the success of what is now the largest power tool review publication in the industry, Clint DeBoer hopes to see continued growth for the company as it rapidly expands its reach.
