How is it? Do you see yourself using it for a while or is it just one of those play with it for a few days things and then forget about it. To me it seems really cool but I don't know if I would be using it a lot
SawStop Saws Detect Contact With Skin. The blade carries a small electrical signal, which the safety system continually monitors. When skin contacts the blade, the signal changes because the human body is conductive. The change to the signal activates the safety system.

I have seen this before- my understanding is that once contact with tissue is made, the saw will be inoperable until it is sent for repair. Basically the mechanism drops the saw blade so fast that damage is done to the machine.
Better to pay hundreds for a repair than to lose a finger.

The saw is fine after being triggered; it's beefy enough to handle the stresses of the brake being activated. The only thing you need to do is replace the brake cartridge which is a $70 part and takes a couple of minutes.
