If you thought putting your hand into a live, spinning table saw blade was hard to doโimagine doing it TWICE! This time, Kenny Koehler puts his index finger in the path of the Bosch Reaxx table saw blade. He does itย 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).ย Pro Tool Reviews took great pains to minimize the potential damage. Imagine what might happenย to your finger if the system doesnโt operate as expected. Again, Bosch Tools did NOT endorse or recommend this test.
You can see our previous test that shows whatย putting your hand in a saw blade looks like.ย

We tested the Bosch ReaXX table sawย and theย SawStop JSS-MCA jobsite table saw. There are many ways to testย how the Boschย flesh-detecting saw will react in a real-world situation. We settled on more dramatic collisions with the blade. After all, itโs not often that you give the blade a feather-like nudge.
Putting Your Finger in a Spinning Saw Blade is Not a Good Idea
Also, if you thinkย stopping a saw blade with your finger is something youโd like to try on your own, we hope youโll reconsiderย after watchingย this video. A spinning saw blade should not be something you want to get anywhere near in a casual manner.
