Description
Description
The Dado Brake Cartridge instantly stops a spinning dado blade on contact with skin, significantly reducing the risk of serious injury. It's compatible with all standard 203 mm/8" dado sets up to 23mm/29/32" thick and works with all woods and other non-conductive materials.
A single locking key allows quick switching between the standard brake cartridge and the dado brake cartridge for fast transitions between cut types. The integrated RS232 port connects the cartridge to the saw, enabling communication with the microprocessor and blade for rapid activation.
A Mylar debris shield helps prevent false triggers from metal particles such as nails or staples, while a heavy-duty spring under 68 kg of pressure drives an aluminium brake into the blade, stopping it in just 5 milliseconds.
For minimal downtime after activation, keep a spare cartridge on hand - replace the blade and brake, and you're back to work quickly and safely.
Required for Dados: In Europe, the Floating Overarm Dust Collection must be used to be CE or UKCA compliant, which is mandatory in a professional workplace.

Questions & Answers
Questions & Answers
What Dado Stack works with the Professional Cabinet Saw?
What Dado Stack works with the Professional Cabinet Saw?
SawStop manufactures a 203mm/8″ Premium Dado Set, and you can also use other brands provided it is an 8″ standard-tooth steel stacked dado set (max width 23mm/29/32″) with steel or carbide teeth, and you must also use a zero-clearance insert along with the required Dado Cartridge.
Do not use dado sets with solid-plate interior chippers or blades with molding heads, avoid “wobble” dado sets, and we do not recommend blades with tooth “shoulders” (depth-limiting / anti-kickback shoulders) as these take longer to stop in an accident.
For best results, SawStop also recommends interior chippers with between two and four teeth per chipper to limit the impact of the saw during activation.
Aren’t dado stacks illegal in Europe?
Aren’t dado stacks illegal in Europe?
It’s a common misconception – the issue is that most European saws are not designed to safely accommodate dado stacks due to arbor length, guarding, and dust collection regulations, however the SawStop Professional Cabinet Saw is engineered and CE-certified for use with an optional dado brake cartridge and dado insert, and when used with the floating guard it allows safe, compliant use under European safety standards.
Can I use thin and thick kerf 250mm or 254mm/10″ blades with a SawStop saw?
Can I use thin and thick kerf 250mm or 254mm/10″ blades with a SawStop saw?
The SawStop safety system is designed for standard 250mm or 254mm / 10″ blades with kerfs from 2.4mm to 4.8mm (3/32″ to 3/16″), and blades significantly thinner or thicker should not be used as they may stop more slowly or deform during activation, increasing injury risk.
Stacks of two or more 250mm or 254mm / 10″ blades should never be used because the combined weight may be too heavy to stop quickly, and if you need a kerf thicker than 4.8mm (3/16″), use an 8″ (203mm) dado set with the option
