Yes. This is an updated version of the device I saw. This one didn;t
actually require that the operator touch the saw blade. the one I saw
required actual contact with the blade, whqch necessitates stopping
the blade in les than one tooth's travel in order to not damage the
skin. And this meqns that there was some damage done to the blace by
the stopping mechanism.

Some? In the video I saw the blade and the whole drive mechanism were
toast. The inventor admitted that was a bit of a drawback but argued
it was cheaper than losing fingers.


Of course. That is the whole reason for the device. Its not something that
table saw operators do every day. When one of them does do it, it is fitting
that it cost him a lot of money. Saving his fingers is worth a lot of money.
