I dont know how proven it is. I found it interesting that they did a hot dog demonstation at a trade show at 30 minute intervals, and there was mention of a replaceable 'brake cartridge' in the system. Was there some significant cost, or down time involved, so that they only did a demo once every 30 minutes at a trade show?

I dont know the specifics of how it works, but I do know that basement inventors often design systems in a way that they work 'once', and they dont really care what it takes to get it to work again.

Do you have to replace some nail-gun-like brake cartridge every time the thing stops the blade? What is the down time after it triggers?

If Im sawing wood at 5pm on sunday afternoon, and it triggers on a damp piece of pressure treated wood, am I shut down till Sears or Home Depot opens the next morning?

If so, guess what Im going to do to my table saw?

I got a portable MPG4 video recorder and player about a year ago, that wont let you record a DVD if its copy protected. So you buy a DVD, and you want to copy it into your MPG4 player to watch it later on a trip, and you cant.

It took me about 30 seconds on Google to find out how to over-ride the copy protection system (you let the player record for 10 seconds with the input unplugged, after that it will record anything).

This will be the same deal. If someone wants to over ride it, they will. (esp after the 7th time it goes off on a damp piece of wood).
