Does this saw have an electronic brake? After you shut it off, how long does it take for blade to come to stop?

I didn't time it, but it was never an issue; a few seconds I suppose. The saw worked well for me. I was very pleased.

It does not have an electric brake, takes several seconds to stop. Was not an issue with me.Bob P Colorado Springs CO

No it does not. It has a three prong plug that only 110volt system. Decent saw for the money.

my saw is two years old. it does not really turn by hand. you can force it, but not free spin as most saws. mine has always cut excellent right out of the box. professional manufacurer.

There is no motor brake, but the hedge trimmer does stop the blades in a very short time.

Electrical contractor - It has a simple trigger that energizes the motor and turns the blade, and doesn't have any way to control speed accurately (note the amount of energy the battery has effects the speed of the blade). I use it in the field to cut conduit and it is the best solution I have found. I would recommend this for anyone needing portable cutting of light gauge metals - it works well.

Not an electric break like an a.c. saw but it will stop immediately after you let off of the button. It's pretty much like a battery powered drill.

When you say "grinding halt" do you mean that the blades literally stop instantly or do you mean that turning it to Med or Low is like hitting the off switch and the blades just slow down until they stop? Because if it is like hitting the off switch, then it just means you need a new switch. If the first hing is happening then you have some other major problem.

No. The saw comes with the 10" regular saw blade, brake cartridge and zero clearance insert. You need to purchase separately the dado blade, dado brake cartridge, and dado zero clearance insert. It is a great saw. I am very happy with it so far. It is very easy to change from the regular blade to the dado blade and back.

Does the blade turn at all? You said it "quit" turning, so I was wondering if it stops after it has turned somewhat. Are you absolutely sure the blade is installed correctly? Was the mower doing this when you first got it? I can assume from what you wrote that the motor is running all right and the sound doesn't change when the blade stops running? The blade will stop turning if you release the bar. That is the "blade override" feature kicking in. The motor will quieten considerably when that happens. Hope this and the suggestions by others will be a help to you!

It stops quick, unlike corded skill saws, I presume it's an electric brake but I'm too lazy to read the entire manual

I have never run my unit all the way down. After initial charge, it was never more than an hour. This is a VERY good saw!

In my case it was tool only , there might be ones that come with batteries By the way it seems to be a good saw i have both versions this just seems better . Hope this helps

Not sure of the answer to this question. All electric motors have bearings, this saw does not have an electric brake to stop the blade. I have found this saw to work very well with no issues.

No it does not have a brake. I either let it finish spinning or hold the handle yo get it to stop. I love my Guzzini salad spinner!

My wife, who is the primary user, did not use it enough yet to brake the blade - a frequent occurrence I can assure you. That is why we got the more professional machine. Sorry, No new blades yet. No idea where I would go at this time. rlp

I had a similar problem on my Bosch which resulted in me removing the laser from my saw and going back to the stock washer and bolt. Sorry I don't have a better answer; I was not happy with the blade stalling in the middle of cuts and didn't take time to chase the issue.

CPO says no. But from using this model the blade stops quickly enough you would think it has one. Maybe a couple seconds.
