SawStop Table Saw Brake Cartridge for 8" Dado Sets (Equivalent to TSDC-8R2)

The Dado Brake Cartridge stops the spinning blade on contact with skin reducing the chances of a catastrophic injury. It is compatible with all standard 8" dado sets up to 13/16" thick on SawStop saws. The locking key allows the user to quickly and easily switch between the Standard Brake Cartridge and Dado Brake Cartridge when making standard or dado cuts.

• 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.
• The RS232 port plugs the brake cartridge into the saw sending the signal to the blade. It is the interface between the microprocessor and the saw.
• The mylar debris shield insulates the aluminum brake from metal particles. It helps avoid triggering an activation when cutting through nails, staples or screws.
• 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.
