Any of you guys have experience with Saw Stop?

Thanks,

A google search of rec.woodworking will turn up a thread a few months
ago.

In this thread a small commercial shop had some mis-fires that were
eventually diagnosed to one particular employee. A filter sent free of
charge by Sawstop, prevented further mis-fires, and a few days later
this same employee had his thumb saved by the mechanism.
