My lovely bride of 35 years sprung for a Sawstop Industrial. The Sawstop is cool but the bride is awsome! She is the best resource in my shop. I sold my old Powermatic 63 and for the first time in 30 years, I am without a table saw. I feel naked.
I heard a great tip for you Sawstop owners. Let's say you come home with a board from the lumber yard with a UPC code stapled to the end. If you cut through that staple, you will fire the brake, right? Maybe not. The tech support guy at Sawstop tells me that the staple is not enough metal to fire the brake. What does it is that a fragment of the staple may ride around on the blade and make electrical contact with the brake and fire it.
The solution is simple packing tape. Just coat the surface of the brake with good packing tape to provide a bit of insulation. They are looking at some sort of non-conductive coating on the brake to prevent false fires. For now, just put tape on and check it every once in a while to see that it hasn't worn through.
