Ben,
You reminded me of why I posted this originally. It immediatly made me think of your former Hydrogen Source coworker who cut off 3 fingers on his table saw (all reattached). Also the number of people around our shop who are missing part or all of a finger. To me adding the price of the device up front and replacement parts is worth it no matter how careful you think you are. If the device is retro-fittable to older saws I'll be buying one for my father, an avid wood worker, asap. Otherwise he may have to wait a little longer until we get him a new saw.
Pete
