The "hot dog" video is pretty impressive.

I've been following this product for several years and it seems to have
developed a fair market share.

The safety part, stopping the blade within a few milliseconds of
contacting flesh, seems great, but cutting a piece of too damp pressure
treated lumber can also trip the "one use" blade brake and you then have
to shell out $69 for a replacement brake assembly to get the safety
feature back.

Methinks that could lead to a lot of bypassing of the safety feature to
let the user on working.

Anyone here own or used one of these saws?
