180one is thrilled to announce the recent collaboration with SawStop, culminating in the successful placement of Marcio Andre as the new Vice President of Supply Chain. SawStop is a technology-focused company that has become a world leader in premium table saws and accessories. SawStop’s woodworking machines are equipped with Active Injury Mitigation (AIM), a technology the company pioneered. AIM detects contact between the user and the cutting surface and removes the hazard in less than 5 milliseconds, avoiding serious injury. SawStop was founded in 2000 after the invention of their core AIM technology. The founders created a new table saw incorporating AIM technology as well as many other improvements. That saw was an immediate success when released in late 2004 and the company has since essentially taken over the industrial table saw market. SawStop now has over 200,000 saws in the field and has saved many thousands of fingers with their groundbreaking technology. Congratulations to SawStop and Marcio Andre!
