Well I for one think that ANY additional players in the cut minimizing saw market is a good thing!
There's no doubt that Gass is readying the crew to sue, but just knowing that there are companies out there working on alternatives means that we'll have better and better saws available to use and the market in general. How that's anything but positive, I don't know!
One thing that DOES bother me about the marketing of this system: they push how youi can reset the saw in only 60 seconds. Sure, that's nice.... but that race team mindset of rush rush rush to get it done is the reason most of these accidents happen! When I nearly cut off my finger on my router table, it was because I was trying to whip out a bunch of pieces as fast as I could. I think that woodworkers and construction builders alike need to have a paced, calm mentality when working in situations where severe injury is a possibility (table saws being high on that list).
Also, that 60 seconds doesn't count changing your underwear after you crap your pants.
