First off the triggering of a SawStop brake does not require a repair.
It is designed to have the brake trigger and to be removed and replaced
multiple time a day. I do this on my SawStop sometimes 4 times a day.

If you are getting your finger in the blade four times per day
triggering the saw stop, you are the person this thing is designed for.
I would suggest you stop and read the safety manual and pay more
attention to what you are doing when around a saw of any kind.

Most of us have been using table saws for many years, some have never
got their finger in the blade. Some like me have only got a finger
against the blade once in 50 years. In that case a saw stop would have
only complicated the problem, as it was a STUPID mistakes. I cut the
finger on the blade and did not cut it off.


I've had a couple of nasty cuts off my saw. Of course it wasn't
running either time. SS wouldn't have helped, though it wouldn't have
cost a cartridge, either.
