Consumables

General-purpose blades suitable for most applications are provided by Asmbly. We understand that some users may wish to provide a more application-specific blade; if this is the case, please discuss with the Workshop Committee on getting checked out to change the blade and properly adjust the SawStop brake cartridge. Inexpert blade changes can lead to misfire of the blade brake.

If you cause the brake to fire, you will be charged for a replacement! Go to the Neon store and purchase a blade and cartridge for $160.

The SawStop system is designed to reduce the risk of personal injury when using the table saw. The brake cartridge is single-use and must be replaced after engagement. It may be falsely triggered by conductive materials, for example

  • Metallic fixtures (like an aluminum miter gauge)
  • Very wet wood, especially when its treated
  • Metallized plastics (like mirrored acrylic)
  • Heavily carbonized (ie burnt) wood
  • Embedded fasteners (screws / nails / staples)

Asmbly keeps spare brake cartridges and blades in stock.

Troubleshooting

If the saw does not start when pulling the paddle, the two status lights on the control box may indicate why:

After turning the main power switch on, the status lights will blink as the saw boots up. A solid green light with no red light indicates that the saw is ready to start. The saw will refuse to start while it’s still booting, and the status lights will flash (labelled “Push Start/Stop Paddle To OFF” on the below cheat-sheet).

This cheat-sheet is from page 30 in the above-linked manual. It’s also printed on the left side of the control box near the start paddle.

The saw may also refuse to start if it detects contact with the blade when the paddle is pulled on (labelled “Contact Detected During Standby” in the cheat-sheet). Make sure nothing (including your workpiece) is contacting the blade when starting the saw.

If no status lights appear after turning the main power switch on, make sure the red-and-yellow disconnect rotary switch (left side of the cabinet) is in the on position.
