SAWSTOP BRAKE CARTRIDGE 8"DADO BLADES

The SawStop Dado Brake Cartridge is designed for use when making dado cuts with compatible 8" dado blade sets. When the safety system detects contact with skin, the cartridge activates to stop the spinning blades, helping reduce the likelihood of a catastrophic injury.

Compatible with standard 8" dado sets up to 13/16" thick, the cartridge can be used when cutting wood and other non-conductive materials. A locking key allows quick switching between the standard brake cartridge and the dado brake cartridge when changing between regular saw blades and dado sets.
