No, what I'm attempting is much simpler. It doesn't sense a finger in
the blade, just stop the blade faster when you hit the stop switch or
take your foot off the footswitch. This type of circuit is common in
industrial motor control. (Anyone else here using one? Everyone?)
From my own work habits I think the greatest risk of injury (for me) is
impatience waiting for the blade to stop before clearing junk from the
blade, or retrieving the cut piece.

I bought a bandsaw with a foot brake tied to the motor starter. The
sooner that saw stops, the better I like it.
