What is the maximum rip capacity?

The saw can rip up to 25-1/2 inches to the right of the blade.

Can I use a dado blade with this saw?

No, the SawStop Compact Table Saw does not support dado blades. The arbor is not long enough and the safety system is not designed for them.

What is included in the box?

How often does the brake cartridge need to be replaced?
