Description
The SawStop brake cartridge for dado blade sets stops the spinning blade stack within 5 milliseconds upon contact with skin. Compatible with dado blade sets up to 23 mm maximum cut width and 203 mm diameter.
Note: After activation, both the saw blade and brake cartridge must be replaced. To be ready for use again within minutes, it is advisable to keep a spare blade and spare brake cartridge on hand.
The saw blade is supplied with a low electrical current. This voltage is continuously monitored on the opposite side of the blade. If the blade comes into contact with skin, the electrical signal changes because the human body is conductive. Once a threshold value is undercut, the system triggers within just 25 microseconds. At that moment, a fuse wire melts, releasing a preloaded spring mechanism that propels an aluminium brake block into the spinning blade with high force. The brake stops the blade in approximately 5 milliseconds. Due to the sudden deceleration, the blade is simultaneously retracted below the table surface and pulled away from the point of contact – typically a finger.
Although minor skin injuries such as abrasions may occur, the system effectively reduces the risk of serious cuts.
After activation, the brake cartridge and saw blade must be replaced. However, the replacement process is user-friendly and can be completed within a few minutes.
