  If you're experiencing issues with the saw stroke and cut quality on your TigerStop Saw, consider these solutions: First, increase the working air pressure. You can also increase the stroke speed or lower the height of the upper limit switch. If the blade is the issue, replace or sharpen it, or ensure you are using the appropriate blade type. Alternatively, reducing the standard stroke speed might help. Increasing the belt tension and checking the fence alignment could also improve the cut quality.

  If your TigerStop Saw experiences an X-out error, several factors could be at play. It could be a signaling issue, so start by checking the mounting to ensure the DM sensor is triggered when the saw is at rest and isn't affected by vibration. Also, inspect the cables and connections between the DM sensor and the TigerStop. Another cause could be settings. Avoid altering the thresholds unless specifically instructed by TigerStop customer service. Speeds should also be monitored; they should never exceed 25 in/s (635 mm/s) for a TigerStop, or 30 in/s (762 mm/s) for a TigerTurbo. Overwork can also cause this issue. Remember that weight isn't the sole factor determining required pushing force; for example, wet wood on flat tables can create suction, reducing the allowable weight. Addressing ja...
