Brake Cartridge for 254mm / 10″ blades

Brake Cartridges: SawStop’s brake cartridges provide groundbreaking safety by stopping the blade within milliseconds of detecting skin contact. The Standard Brake Cartridge is compatible with 254 mm (10″) blades.
It’s a good idea to keep an extra brake cartridge on-hand in case of a contact event. Simply replace the blade and cartridge and you’re back to work.

The SawStop brake cartridge for 254mm (10″) blades stops the spinning blade on contact with skin reducing the chances of a catastrophic injury. This standard brake cartridge is compatible with all standard 254mm blades on SawStop saws.

The lightning fast microprocessor is always sensing for a drop in the voltage coming from the blade. It activates the safety system within 5 milliseconds once it detects contact with skinThe RS232 port plugs the brake cartridge into the saw, sending the signal to the blade and acting as the interface between the microprocessor and the saw.

Additionally, the mylar debris shield insulates the aluminium brake from metal particles, helping to avoid triggering an activation when cutting through nails, staples, or screws. The heavy-duty spring, held under 68kg of pressure, pushes the aluminium block into the path of the blade, stopping it within 5 milliseconds.

We suggest keeping an extra brake cartridge on-hand in case of a contact event. Simply replace the blade and cartridge and you’re back to work in no time at all.

Revolutionary Safety Protection: Microprocessor-The lightning fast microprocessor is always sensing for a drop in the voltage coming from the blade. It activates the safety system within 5 milliseconds once it detects contact with skin.
Heavy Duty Spring-As soon as that microprocessor senses the drop in voltage, it sends a surge of electricity through a fuse wire that holds the spring in place. The heavy-duty spring is held under 150 pounds of pressure, and it pushes the aluminum block into the path of the blade stopping it within 5 milliseconds.
Debris Shield-The mylar debris shield insulates the aluminum brake from metal particles. It helps avoid triggering an activation when cutting through nails, staples or screw
