SawStop recommends a blade size of 8" or 10", plus or minus 1/16", with a kerf between 3/32" and 3/16". IF A blade not exactly 8" or 10" (perhaps due to repeated sharpening), and the clamping cartridge cannot be adjusted properly, the safety system may take longer to clamp down in case of "triggering", not allow the saw to start, or if the blade is oversize, may cause immediate triggering, failure to start or maybe other problems. Blades with coated teeth are also not recommended as they can inhibit the safety system. | SawStop recommends a blade size of 8" or 10", plus or minus 1/16", with a kerf between 3/32" and 3/16".

Triggering the safety feature will result in a cost of around $146 (standard) to $177 (dado) [as of April 2024] to replace the cartridge, and $80-120 to replace the blade, costs which will be the responsibility of the member. See below for links to local retailers | |||
Requirements for using this are evolving, and as this is not your typical table saw, so you have to do your due diligence and read and understand how it operates. | Requirements for using this are evolving, and as this is not your typical table saw, so you have to do your due diligence and read and understand how it operates. | ||
Wet lumber, metal particles, including staples can trigger it. So members will have to take an upgrade certification to be able to use your card to operate it! | Wet lumber, metal particles, including staples can trigger it.
