CARTRIDGE BRAKE FOR 10" BLADES SAW STOP

Keep your compatible SawStop table saw’s safety system ready for operation with the TSBC10R3 standard brake cartridge. Designed for use with standard 10 in. saw blades, the cartridge monitors the blade’s electrical signal and activates when the system detects contact with skin.

Once activated, the cartridge drives an aluminum brake into the blade, stopping it within approximately 5 milliseconds. The cartridge must be replaced after activation before the table saw can be returned to service.
