[SML] Saw stop

[Johnson, Philip]

Check the serial number on the saw and the brake. Some of the older units need a different model brake and the newer brakes won't work. I have found the folks at saw stop very helpful

You all rock!  Riving knife it is. Never had a table saw with that before. And I found a manual. Under a few inches of sawdust n crap.

Thanks

Why can't someone invent a way to lower the blade in 1/100 sec or less, without the costly breaking the blade, which encourages operators to defeat the safety feature? There are both solenoids and hydraulic rams that are fast enough.

Maybe because SawStop felt that the possibility of a single-point failure in the safety mechanism necessitated having a bit of redundancy?  This way, if the arbor-drop mechanism malfunctions you still don't lose body parts.

Also, there's something about dropping a saw arbor while it's still spinning and producing torque that would probably concern the engineers who designed it in the first place.
