The blast cabinet contains tiny glass beads in the bottom. There is a large wire mesh that divides the upper and lower sections of the cabinet. The foot pedal is connected to compressed air and controls the volume of air going to the nozzle.  The air passing through the nozzle creates a vacuum and draws the glass beads in the bottom of the machine up into the air stream in the nozzle. The glass beads are rapidly accelerated into the part you are bead blasting. The beads fall back into the bottom of the cabinet and are recycled through the system. The blade then stops spinning and drops down out of the way. All this happens within 5 milliseconds, helping to ensure the blade inflicts minimal damage. This galvanic response safety mechanism is great for preventing injuries but will permanently damage the blade if triggered. If the material you are cutting is conductive it will trigger the saw stop feature. Do not cut any wet lumber, pressure treated, or metal coated materials such as gold leaf with this machine. Charcoal is also conductive so any laser cut areas of lumber should not make contact with the blade while cutting. There are a few other things to keep in mind regarding your material as well. Make sure the material you are cutting is free of all foreign
