Re: Saw Stop

We have tripped ours a couple of times over the past 3 years we have had it in our shop. Never on a body-part. The first time I had to replace the cartridge was because of mirrored plastic. Just enouh metal in the paint I suppose. The second time was during a summer break and the maintenance department didn't know they couldn't cut metal. The last time was this past Saturday. I didn't give good enough instructions to our new teacher, he figured the over-ride key was in & he was safe to cut metal. Needless to say it barely even touched the plate before tripping. It actually left a mark in the edge that looks alot like an M. We could actully count the teeth that made contact with the metal. 4. It is a really impressive tool if you can afford one.
(& the replacment cartridges cost about $70 each time you trip the machine)
