I mentioned that the sawstop was "being more of a shit than usual" and this is what I walked by on my way out later that day. Godspeed, Tim
Took me a moment to realize this was a picture of an indoor space.
Ouch.

Yeah, we managed to get a good number of rips before it shit the bed entirely and it expanded in scope well before we realized we should have swept up a bit before
What happened
It's been a problem for a while. We've been going down the checklist of things to replace and adjust and it finally got to a point it would throw codes for things we'd already done, so the shop manager started tearing it down before lunch and this was my view out the door. I'm sure it'll be fine. Probably
How much is a new "brain"? I have the CNS, and it's working fine, but I clench up thinking about the electronics getting weird or breaking. While I figure I probably COULD bypass the entire safety system, at that point it's just a Craigslist-equivalent Rigid motor-hanger with a better fence.
Never been so glad to not own a sawstop. Jeez they have onboard diagnostics?
Looks like the saw stop triggered and they had to replace it.
What maintenance or repair requires removal of the motor?
I had some plastic (like, thinner than a grocery bag) get sucked into the motor. Didn't work quite as well after that.
See the problem you got here is the motor done fell out. Seems like your blades gone missin as well.
