This cartridge is compatible with all standard 8\u003cspecial id=\"32\"\u003e\u003c\/special\u003e blades used on SawStop saws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the system is a lightning-fast microprocessor that continuously monitors voltage coming from the blade. When a drop in voltage is detected, indicating contact with skin, the system activates within 5 milliseconds. The integrated RS232 port plugs the brake cartridge into the saw, serving as the communication interface between the microprocessor and the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA heavy-duty spring, held under 68 kg of pressure, drives an aluminium block directly into the blade’s path, stopping it almost instantly. A mylar debris shield insulates the brake mechanism from metal particles, helping to prevent accidental activation when cutting through nails, staples, or screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor uninterrupted workflow, it’s recommended to keep a spare brake cartridge on hand. After an activation, simply replace the blade and cartridge and you’ll be back to work in minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cartridge is compatible with all standard 203mm (8\u003cspecial id=\"32\"\u003e\u003c\/special\u003e) dado sets up to 2.3cm (29\/32\u003cspecial id=\"32\"\u003e\u003c\/special\u003e) thick and is suitable for use with all wood and other non-conductive materials.
