I know how much the blades cost. Any idea on how much the replacement brakes (both standard and dado) are? I can't find a price on the net.
$69 and $89 respectively.

Charles,
I always enjoy your videos. I think I am ready to take the plunge and get the SawStop.
Thanks for a truly unsolicited, and meaningful, testimonial that was obviously from the heart of a man whose experience in 1995 gives him credibility to spare.

Ummm...so less than the health insurance co-pay to even walk into the emergency room. Now I can really "afford" sawstop. To bad I can't fit a cabinet saw in my shop.
"...on his SawStop.."
Well, there was this one day a few years back when I sure wished I'd had one....

I just left a building supply / millwork store, noticed they had Sawstop brouchures on the counter top and commented (usually they only have contractor type hand tools etc). The counter person mentioned they have Sawstops in the millwork shop and have already had two "saves".
Anthony,
You don't necessarily have to replace the blade. I recently fired the brake by letting the blade touch my sliding table crosscut fence. The damage was one lost carbide tip on a Forrest WW II blade. I sent the blade to Forrest to get a new tip, have them inspect the other three tips that took a bite of the brake and have the blade sharpened.
