I have seen this saw in action in real life demonstrations. And while I agree that it is some amazing technology I have to agree with oceannavigator on many levels. I teach construction in a juvenile corrections facility. As with most teenagers, if you tell them that they can do what they want and you'll guarantee them that they won't get hurt, well...I think you get my point. If you could design a car to offer them and told them "drive however you want, you can't get hurt", they will. Then when they drive a different car, how likely is it that they will remember all the safety rules/precautions?
If the power tool industry is going to be held hostage by the Saw Stop inventor (looks likely) then we need to include the auto industry, toys, waffle makers etc.
