TigerStop has announced improvements to SawGear, a precise and rugged automated length measuring system for chop saws. The new SawGear 2.0 includes upgrades to its electronics, software and hardware, which are intended to increase accuracy tolerance, durability and ease of use, the company said.

"Product engineers gathered input from SawGear customers in an effort to offer continuous improvements and enhancements," said a company spokesperson. "With the improvements, the SawGear can withstand greater shock while maintaining its accuracy. Also, users will be notified if a recalibration is needed, and the SawGear will then automatically recalibrate itself. SawGear 2.0 also includes quick release clamps for the SawGear powerhead for easier portability.

"SawGear product benefits include: the ability to eliminate costly mistakes, easy visual of cut length, eliminate set up time, automate a manual band saw and replace tape measure."

"We made enhancements to SawGear specifically targeted for small welding and fabrication shops as well as small door and window manufacturing environments providing affordable automation," said Matt Harris, Chief Marketing Officer, TigerStop LLC. "We believe strongly in SawGear's ability to offer smaller manufacturers the benefits of lean manufacturing and automation that larger shops have been experiencing for years thus making them more competitive and providing an immediate return on their investment."

"SawGear is designed to be easy to use, set up in minutes and make accurate cuts every time," said the spokesperson. "Simply attach the SawGear to any chop saw or band saw, enter the required dimensions, slap the material against the rugged stop and cut the part. SawGear eliminates waste created by inaccurate measuring and pencil marking and increases job productivity by 30 percent."
