Sawstop and molding head. - John Mihich - 02-13-2022

I have a SS cabinet saw and would like to use my craftsman molding head.  I do have the dado module but the molding head is smaller.  I have not tried using the bypass at all.  Will the bypass allow the saw to work? 

TIA.  I haven't had the SS a year yet so I am still learning.

My guess is you will get the error code "adjust position of brake cartridge".  The bypass option is only available after the saw does a self check. You won't even be able to try the bypass.

Nope, it won't work......

Yup, no can do.

I read somewhere about a hack using tin foil to fool the cartridge.

I don't recommend it!

Thanks guys. I guess I will be putting the head up for sale. Did use it a lot but did like it.
