These are great saws. The founder originally just wanted to sell his safety device to table saw manufacturers. He had no takers so he started his own company.

My next door neighbor lost 4 of his fingers in a table saw accident. I believe in personal responsibility but losing 4 fingers on your dominant hand is a pretty high price to pay for a mistake particularly when a viable safety technology is available.

Yet there was huge opposition to adopting this technology in table saws.
