This seems like a serious safety risk.

[Rick Fisher]

I can think of nothing more dangerous than watching television when using machinery. Especially a table saw.
Seriously .. Its just football...

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

I'm not sure if you're joking or not. It looks like a digital readout to me.

:D:D:D:D

Are you saying .. its not HD compatable?

Hmmm..

Martin calls that the basic model. Im betting the deluxe model....

[John Michaels]

A local cabinet maker has one of those. Cost like $25,000. Nice saw, really nice.

[Jeffrey M Jones]

Im sure you have to be joking about thinking that is a TV right?

[Jim Sears]

I don't know what to say:D:D

[Jim Becker]

Yes, and these machines also have the ability to insure your shop floor will not accidentally levitate...so the picture stays steady, too! :D

[Cliff Rohrabacher]

Yah get the deluxe model and it comes with a 75" plasma AND a combination infrared and ultrasound sensor that shuts the machine down if you accidentally go to set your beer on the blade.

I think there is a cooler in the body too.



Martin really is the final answer in the wonderful world of sliders.

[David Schnegg]

In all seriousness... what is the lcd display for? Can you set the blade height and angle with those buttons under the lcd?

[Greg Deakins]

oooh yeah, I used to work on an Altendorf slider, just amazing machines.

I was shown a REAL video safety hazard recently probably more dangerous than this tongue-in-cheek one. My son married a girl from Japan. We were there for the wedding and her father was showing me his new luxury Honda. It had an in-dash display for GPS, etc., but my heart skipped a beat when he tuned in a live TV broadcast! Imagine the accidents in the U.S. if drivers were allowed to watch TV!

You can have TV in the front in the US, BUT it will disable once the car starts to move. Maybe its the same in that car.

A lot of caddy owners were upset they could not make certains changes to their Nav/TV while the care was moving.

Brad:
They do, I have seen this. Was comming thru town one evening, and an SUV passed me on right, I noticed guy was watching a TV mounted in an overhead console, I slowed down and let him get far in front of me. It's bad enough when you notice the car beside you going down the hiway has a lady putting on lipstick, talking on a cell phone, and doing 70. Can you imagine a guy doing 70 at night and watching Spice TV . I want my own private hiway.

Safety Hazard????

Obviously it's the educational display, you know, where you can watch Norm make a crosscut sled while you mimic all his techniques. (Except of course, no guard, riving knife or hearing protection).

Of course, at the end, you have a crosscut sled for a Martin slider, which causes the Martin Police to come over, confiscate your saw, and leave a dunce cap for you..

[John Schreiber]

I've got one of those on my best saw. Unfortunately my best saw is a Japanese dozuki and it displays a paper scroll painting of mountains and flowers.

[Hank Knight]

The Federal Government has a program to help owners of older models of that saw get a converter to receive digital TV signals. :D

[Rick Fisher]

I wonder if you can lock out the table saw portion, in case your kids are watching TV alone?

[glenn bradley]

You know, on that machine you just might be OK wthcing TV for most cuts.

start waching tv and something like this just might happen to you! (click on picture to see video)

[Joe Fusco]

I had the chance to with with that saw for about a month and it was an absolute pleasure to use. :D

[Ben Martin]

I didn't know that my family made table saws, I wonder if I getting a family discount???

:D:D:D

[Brad Noble]

I don't know what to say:D:D


How about "Pass me the remote"

Brad

[Rod Sheridan]

Gee we have members from the Martin and Poitras companies!

How cool is that?

[Dave Bonde]

I prefer this model :D

[Ted Miller]

The law says you are "not allowed to watch tv while ripping on the TS, but you can text message while ripping".

Oops, sorry, I got that mixed up, here in lunatic California, "while driving you cannot use your hand held cell phone, but you can text message while driving".

Yup look it up, we got all kinds out here in this lunatic state making intelligent laws...
