The regular brake cartridge costs $69. The one to be used with a dado blade is only $89. I don't know where the $200 figure came from -- maybe it's for a three-pack?

BTW, does it really have a SAFE / UNSAFE switch ?
As mentioned before, it has a button to disable the brake actuator temporarily if you need to cut wet wood that might trip the system. The sensor circuit is still active, along with an indicator light that shows whether it would have triggered the brake.

I really don't understand your animosity toward this technology.
