Now that I have a StopSaw I think it may be wise to invest in a reasonably good moisture meter than take a chance of setting off the brake and loosing a blade as well. Plus I really just don't want to activate the brake under any condition much less a condition I can control. I've looked around and they range all over the place with cost and then the two styles, pinned and pinless. Suggestions for a hobbyist's workshop would be very welcomed. I figure that the cost of a dado brake is $89 plus blade so maybe I can justify a slightly better one if needed but really would rather spend the $$ on still needed tools.
Thanks,
Steve
