Just thought of something.

Why would you be cutting METAL with a WOOD blade? However the SawStop works, I guarantee it requires an all metal blade, and will not work with an abrasive ceramic blade, especially since a ceramic blade would probably explode instead of fall through the table (turning a lost finger injury into a horrific shrapnel injury)

I've never seen a metal, metal cutting blade for a table saw.
