Wonder if this could be implemented on other machine tools?

What I don't understand about this device is why does the blade need to be
stopped so fast? It wreaks the aluminium stop which needs to be replaced
(the figure i remember is about $70) and possibly the blade as well. The
blade appears to drop fast enough that little more damage would result if it
was just left spinning. Maybe they couldnt patent that alone?


They've been pushing that nany-saw for years, even with such corrupt
ploys as trying to make it mandatory on table saws. The bottom line is
that patent or not, it is a failed product that virtually nobody wants.
