Its been around for a couple years, now. I think the contractor version of the saw is 2 or 3 grand. A cabinetmakers saw is even higher, but my last encounter with a shaper bit cost me about $1300, even with insurance.
I substitute taught in a high school shop where they have one of these. Yup, you guessed it, one of the students got a little careless. IT WORKS! Does a number on the saw blade, and the aluminum stop block, but no damaged finger..... Worth every penny.
I was operating a saw without one one time, and passed over the top of blade. One tooth caught the tip of my finger.... Took a lot of healing, but I can finally feel with that finger tip now, a couple three years later....

I know my next table saw will be one. Ran the tip of my left middle finger through my table saw a few years ago. Don't want to go through that again...
As a side note, the inventor thried marketing the stop mechanism to the major saw manufacturers, none of em wanted to buy, so he decided he'd make saws too. They get great reviews for accuracy and performance. Think the other manufacturers are kickin themselves...

I have one in my Cabinet shop and love it. You should have a 4" vac system hooked up to the dust port. If not sawdust gets in the system and gives you an error reading of improper brake adjustment.
We have set it off accidently twice. Once was with a 4x8 sheet of treated 3/4" plywood. As soon as the tip of the sheet touched the blade the mechanism triggered. The second time it was with a piece of 1" blue board with aluminum foil back. I talked to sawstop on both occasions, the first time they said the copper content in the board and mositure must have been high enough to transfer your body current through. The second time they said the aluminum foil back conducted the current. They suggested run it in override mode next time.
Other than that, for about 98% of my cabinet making it works awesome.

I tried the link and just get a black screen. I nipped the corner off my left index finger back in high school shop. Of course we just goofed off and did everything but work on our projects. Took me a semester to make a gun rack. Spent most of the time making gear shift knobs and billy clubs on the lathe.
Other than my right thumb which lost a little meat and the corner when it got caught in the chain and sprocket of a Gleaner combine, everything else works. Those gleaners didn't have any chain guards.
