Not doubting that you are having problems with the cartridge misfiring but how does it not hit the blade? I would think that there is something else badly wrong if the cartridge fires but does not touch the blade. OR are you saying that there was no contact with the blade to cause a misfire.
I have not seen any complaints about the Saw Stop other than from the ones that will not buy the saw. I do monitor this group on an almost daily basis.
Wow... 3 misfires, 3 cartridges and 3 new blades - that's starting to get expensive.

Ssssh, we're not allowed to comment because we wouldn't buy the saw. Or something like that.
Bad ground would be my guess, followed by defective sine generator or defective AD on the other end.
Sawstop should ship you a new saw and have that one picked up for forensics..
Got any photos of the gore?

No kidding and hopefully Joe is correct in his observation of the misfire. Do you remember back in the 60's when certain people could not wear wrist watches as the watch would not keep correct time but did just fine on some else's wrist? Or was that an Urban Legend? Anyway I wonder if it is possible for some one to carry enough static electricity that he may set the cartridge off by discharge?
Any one have problems with the cartridge firing off when it not supposed to? I have had three cartridge go off with no contact with the blade, Saw Stop replaced the first two, have not called them about this one yet this is in a two week period Joe
I personally know someone who can't wear a digital watch. Starts losing time when she puts it on.

damn.......fergot 'bout that.....
Maybe he's predisposed to spontaneous human combustion or something.
Then you haven't been looking too carefully: PopWood reviewed the SawStop recently, and they noted the same problem.
Ah, but that is the standard "I haven't listened to a single complaint" kind of line, you see.
Does PopWood post on this news group?
You know Dave, at least I try to help rather than take your path of being a cynic of Net Nanny.
Are you in the process of making a cut when this happens?
Any hotdogs on the table? :)

Don't try this at home with Forrest WWII blades, boys 'n girls.

Is it running when it fires? It pretty much destroys the blade and throws the saw out of whack doesn't it? What a pain in the ass.
At least you will keep all of your fingers if you are never able to use the saw!

Appropriately named also.
I've had this happen with one of my SawStops. It misfired twice in a week period. SawStop sent me free replacement cartridges and some filters to put around one of the control cables in the saw. With the filters in place I have not had a misfire since (4 months).
