Cool technology. I imagine when it does kick in it's hell on the saw blade, brake, and motor (it digs right into an aluminum block, stopping it cold). Better replacing those than a finger though!

Oh yeah, it destroys all that (except for the motor If you pay close attention, it stops within approx 3 saw teeth and cuts power as it does that) but a couple hundred bux is well worth the alternative.

After the blade hits the stopblock, it's a gonner. IIRC, there's a shear pin in there that breaks to protect the motor from damage and allow the blade to drop out of the way.
