It senses the moisture content of your body. We have one. Brilliant saw. There is an override to be able to cut other materials besides wood, but the correct cartridge needs to be in place, i.e. if you are using a 10" blade, you need the 10" cartridge, if you use an 8" dado blade(s), you need to put in the 8" cartridge.



My dad has tripped it twice, both times, because he forgot to adjust the Incra miter gauge and the aluminum hit the blade. I think both times, the blades were sent back to Forrest and they were able to straighten them and they are back in use.
