Fastest Stop.
Safest Cut.

The Gold Standard in Bandsaw Safety.

You can't control every situation - but you CAN control the outcome.

In busy production environments, mistakes happen — and with bandsaws, they most likely end in amputation. BladeStop changes that. As an engineered severity control, it instantly stops the blade at the moment contact occurs.

One split second can change everything – unless the blade stops

Fatigue, distraction, and crowded workspaces make accidents inevitable. This is the moment when prevention isn’t enough.

The BladeStop Portfolio

BladeStop™ combines dual-sensing safety activation (GloveCheck™ + BodySensing™) with a mechanical blade clamp that stops the blade in under 10 milliseconds. With industrial power, simple operation and low total cost of ownership, it is built for fast-paced environments, daily washdown, and real-world conditions where prevention alone isn’t enough.

The BladeStop™ lineup includes four models — from compact, retail-optimized saws to large, high-capacity units for whole carcasses or hind-quarter cutting. Standard across all models:

High-pressure washdown rating (IP69K)
Full safety interlock system to prevent hazardous operation
Left- and right-hand configurations to avoid reaching across the blade
Functional safety independently reviewed by DGUV (Germany)
Global certifications: UL (U.S.), CE (EU), KC (Korea)

The incident that happened with BladeStop is a perfect example. The operator almost ran his thumb into the saw, but the braking mechanism worked perfectly. The saw did exactly what it was supposed to do — it stopped and prevented a major injury.

He didn’t lose any time at all. With the previous injury without BladeStop, the operator was away for weeks and will likely be 12 months in rehabilitation — with ongoing costs. Preventing that one accident would have paid for the saws.

I got cut two months ago—just a little. The saw stopped straight away. That saved my life.

The body-sensing technology is more foolproof. With a camera system, there are too many opportunities for interference. I'm much more confident in body sensing.
“

The site’s recorded five incidents where BladeStop significantly reduced the severity of the outcome. Instead of amputations, we’ve had minor lacerations — Band-Aid injuries.

Everyone knows they’re going to come to work — and go home with all their fingers.

Bandsaw Safety:
Severity Control vs. Behavior Control

What matters most in bandsaw safety isn’t how many incidents occur — it’s what happens when they do. This white paper explores the gap between prevention and engineered protection, and why forward-thinking operations plan for failure and control the outcome.
