It's good that the license was only $3, but the end user also has to buy at least one disposable $80 cartridge (probably more, apparently false alarms happen) for a problem that can be solved with a push stick.
- whoknowswhat11 5y agoGood point. You can send in your activated cartridge to sawstop - if it was skin activated then they may replace it for free. If you are concerned about a trip you can touch blade to piece with saw off and it'll tell you if would have tripped. Or do a first cut with system off. Or if you have a wet piece turn it off. That said if you have a nail or something in piece there are situations that could trip it for sure.
- kens 5y agoI was at a shop that had a "wall of shame" with sawstop cartridges that had tripped when people tried to saw wet wood, metallized plastic, and other conductive materials.
- jjav 5y agoThe detection can be disabled for the case of cutting conductive materials.
- slownews45 5y agoIt can also be used to sense if the wood is too wet - go to bypass, then do a cut in wettest part and you'll get an indication.
