Abstract
An improvement in table saw safety is provided, being a new and improved apparatus and method for stopping the blade of a saw very quickly, thereby preventing serious harm to the operator of the saw. The saw brake senses the approach of a conductive element, such as a finger or a hand, to the saw blade, and immediately stops the saw.
