activated my SawStop cartridge

I personally would never trust a blade that stopped in a SawStop. 
Even if the teeth are undamaged, stopping it that suddenly warps it all out of flat. 

The high speed video of the blade being stopped shows it going “s” shaped for a fraction of a second. 

Just consider the blade part of the insurance cost.

My experience is that I have set the cartridge in my SawStop off twice. Metal both times. Once with a 18guage pin in the board.  Once when a fellow working with me reversed by Kreg Miter Gauge. (Fortunately it didn't do more than scratch the surface of the miter gauge.
The blades in both cases would have to be repaired before re-use.  Second time it broke two teeth on the blade. I just replaced the blades.
