Good Points, James, Of course, when it activates, it is presumable because you've whacked the blade with your finger (or a hot dog). So, perhaps worth the price of replacement parts to save your finger (forearm, wrist, whatever). The initial tests of these units are rather favorable, too - both from a woodworking perspective as well as a safety standpoint. It certainly seems a viable unit for consideration. This unit IS probably the ultimate in terms of safety, but in fairness, maybe not quite in performance - though very, very good from what I've read. William R.
