I think if this thing had come along *before* the sawstop, people would

I had a similar thought earlier today, on a scale of 1 to 10 with the common
blade guard being 1 and the Saw Stop being a 10, I place the Whirlwind at
about a 3.

BUT that is not to say that I discourage the Whirlwind people from improving
their product, it is not a game. I would love to see it out perform the
SawStop rather than be a little better than nothing and or the common guard.
They have a ways to go. As it is now it is an answer to the saws already
out there now that don't have this technonogy.
