I wouldn't buy it. I don't like the delays or the legislation attempt they made. I am also surprised they are still afloat. In another thread on Woodnet, the guy who is in charge posts that they have had huge volumes of orders, yet we see no saws. I realize there are tons of things to consider and work out during a new product roll out, but I have a bad feeling about this one.
I think that if I had a new product and had millions of dollars in orders, I wouldn't have time or any reason to try and get a new law passed requiring this device on ALL new tablesaws sold in the USA. Also there must be a really good reason Delta, PM, Jet and everyone else passed on this idea. I guess we will see when they finally deliver one.
They use a hot dog BTW because of it's similarity to a finger. Somehow the blade is supposed to sense the electromagnetic pulses in the finger and the device then stops the blade.
