Does wood with a high moisture content ie treated lumber cause brake to trip?

YES--but if you look in the owners there are Instructions on how to by pass the safety which defeats the purpose of the saw .In my opinion you shouldn't be using a quality saw to cut this type of wood on a Quality Saw, use a skil saw!!!

I haven't specifically cut treated lumber on my sawstop (my miter saw does that) but I would not think so. You can test the tripping mechanism by touching the wood to the blade prior to spinning up the saw, and the control panel will flash a red light if it would have tripped. You can also disable the mechanism.

turn the tester on place prong in the brake fluid reserivor read moisture per instructions. reads the amount of moisture in your brake line.something not everybody does but dealers do recommend this. better than rust in your lines

Absolutely not, it is purely interior only, all of the wood is exposed and is furniture grade, so no moisture at all.

Maybe in a garage but can not be exposed to moisture. Not 100% solid wood, top piece is laminate on particle board.

I am not an expert, but in order for the product to saturate the wood, it would be good to be as dry as possible. Gary

I would try to contact the manufacturer. I have not used it on wood that has been treated for heat/water resistance. There may be chemicals in the two that do not mix well.

I have a Poulan 36cc and I've ripped hundreds of board feet of Walnut, Cherry, Apple, Pear and some red Cedar with not problems so far.

I split hardwood with this splitter. but don't try really wet wood. Can't do wood with a big circumference or with bad knots. Know where your reset button is, go slow, be patient. i have been very happy with it.

I use my tables for plants, and am careful to wipe up any spills immediately. Even though the finish looks good, moisture will distress any wood surface over time.

No!!! It's a good brake but it's not designed to handle that tough and thick materials. I believe 20 ga. mild steel is the max.

Appears so - hardwoods are all I have in my house. As long as you don't press down on the tube/head while using it, I can't imagine it doing any damage.

I was advised by Lowe's NOT to use it so I gave it to my daughter for her hardwood floors. Apparently it damages the layer of laminate at the edges of the boards.

I use it only to measure moisture in lumber; but I have noticed it measures basically the superficial moisture. I can measure it deeper if I first make two tiny holes in the wood to insert the sensors. I don't think it would give you what you need.

Yes there is always that possibility and it all depends on the grain of the wood. Try taping your Hardwood if your worried about it! An Extreme would be clamping a sacrificial piece of paneling to the top of the hardwood and cutting through both paneling Autobody tape and then your material.

I have not used with fresh herbs, I feel that the moisture would damage the motor.

Hi Allison, this Buffer will turn at a high rate of speed, I don't know if that will hurt wood. This buffer is excellent quality, you won't be disappointed with this machine as long as the speed will be ok for the wood.

If everything is square, there should not be a problem. I occasionally use paste wax on top and slides. Everything works smoother, plus lumber slides on saw easier.
