LOL. With the table saw, the unit drops back into the saw's underside, a
particular emphasis and part of the sales pitch. I kind of wonder how
that's going to work with radial arm saws, miter saws, et al. Obviously,
the brake mechanism can be easily varied. But dropping the unit below the
table top? Man, that variation is NOT going to be easy with a radial arm
saw!

Looks to me like on units where the blade cannot be retracted, such as a
bandsaw
the brake is the only option, such as a bandsaw.
