Good day bandsaw owners,
In the 20sec video clip below, a new style of bandsaw brake is demonstrated on a 14” Craftsman bandsaw. It stops the blade which normally takes 11sec in less than 2sec. Has anyone seen a brake like this before? Would you be interested in getting one?

Do you know what the Brand name is........
Hi Jim,
Thanks for your interest. I make the brake myself. I’m considering patenting it, but am trying to decide if there’s enough of a market for it to make it worthwhile. I’ve had one on my Rikon 10” and Craftsman 14” for over a year now, and I love them. They make using the bandsaw much more enjoyable, efficient and safer. I’ve had two other bandsaw owners install them on their 14” bandsaws(Powermatic & Rikon) and they love it too. It’s such a simple design, I don’t know why it hasn’t been introduced before. If you’d liked to discuss getting one then email me at [email protected].
Thanks again for your interest,
Bill
Bill,
As someone that has gone down the patent path, (I have 3 utility patents) I'd advise you to look at the rules regarding public disclosure before too much toothpaste is out of the tube.
Thanks for the advice, duly noted!
I would buy one

Also, y'all are braver than me for clicking on that. And yes, the line to get a post taken down is in fact "Does Ben find this sketchy?" Gotta draw the line somewhere.
Where do you even get one?
Hi J19,
I make them myself, so they are not available on the market, yet. I appreciate your interest though, and I know anyone tired of waiting for their bandsaw blade to stop will love it. It looks like the video link I had was removed by management (my bad). If you would like me to email you the link then contact me at, [email protected]. Cheers!
Post a youtube link and you're all good. One drive and dropbox links could lead to bad stuff. Thanks.
Can you post a picture of what’s inside the door ?
I’m working on a site where I can post whatever I want with no restrictions. I’ll advise when/where that is when completed. Thanks for your patience.
You don’t need a site to post a picture, just a picture loaded as an attachment that is less than 3MB .
