The problem with SawStop has been that each false
alarm requires replacing various mechanical components,
which takes time and money.

Hopefully, just the block and the blade. The entire
machine is going to need a checking over, since
whatever force isn't dissipated by crushing the
block is going to absorbed by the parts it
attaches to. Looks like the whole saw jumps
in that demo.

OTOH, $20,000 for an ER visit will buy you one
hell of a nice saw.
