Cast saw temperature safety and burn reduction system

A method of controlling an operation of a cast saw temperature safety system, wherein the cast saw temperature safety system comprises a cast saw blade, a plurality of temperature sensors, a cast saw arbor to which the cast saw blade is attached, a cast saw motor operably connected to the cast saw arbor, a cast saw body enclosing the cast saw motor, and a temperature control system which controls the cast saw motor to oscillate;

• the cast saw blade comprising a plurality of cutting regions and a plurality of strain gauges;
• the method comprising:
• the cast saw temperature safety system having a temperature threshold for the plurality of cutting regions;
• the cast saw temperature safety system monitoring temperature information for each of one or more of the plurality of cutting regions;
• the temperature control system sending a control signal to the cast saw motor;
• and
• the temperature control system operates to slow or stop the cast saw blade if one or more of the cutting regions reaches or exceeds the temperature threshold;
• except that the temperature control system does not operate to slow or stop the cast saw blade if the one or more of the cutting regions that reaches or exceeds the temperature threshold is or are not actively cutting;
• and
• wherein whether the one or more of the cutting regions that reaches or exceeds the temperature threshold is or are actively cutting is determined by a plurality of strain information from the plurality of strain gauges.
