Our shop has just acquired a Sawstop model CB31230. The manual mentions a
noise free electrical environment is desirable. Does anyone have experience
with what kind and level of EMI will cause grief? Is it desirable to have
some form of EMI suppression? I have seen lots of really positive comments
on the web, since they have only been out in the real world for a bit under
2 years does anyone have any ho-hum or negative experience and installation
advice?

Thanks, John.
A noise free electrical environment?????!!!! in a woodshop? They've
got to be kidding. With all the potential electric motors in shop,
including universal driven beasts like vacuums and portable planers,
the manufacturer is really out to lunch on this specification. If their
equipment cannot deal with an electically noise environment, than its
not worth having.

Do a search for Joe, filter, sawstop. He owns a production woodworking
shop with 3 saw stops. One operator could cause mis-fires which was
rectified by a filter saw stop sent out. Shortly there after this same
guy put his thumb into the blade and was saved.
I've seen welder's cause so much noise on an electric system to crash
computers.
What type of other equipment is in your shop or your neighbors?

I don't suppose a UPS to condition the line could be used? Otherwise I
imagine normal protection for any electronic item would be satisfactory.

Had a problem with one guy and static charge, Saw Stop sent me filters and
have not had any problems since, as far as the line voltage nothing special
one is hooked up where the Delta was and works fine

IIRC the SawStop has computer components and may, like most any computers
benefit from a dedicated power source if there is a lot of noise in the
line.

It's probably pretty well shielded from everything but its own motor
(and probably from that) unless the cabinet's plastic.
Probably just need something at the cord. Then again, could be a
lawyer's input.

Unless you want to install an isolating xformer I'd just make sure
everything was well grounded and see if you have any problems. In an
active shop with multiple motors running you could spend a lot of
money getting clean power.
