I looked on their site and it says $89 bucks for the brake mech. The saw itself is about 2800 bucks which is a lot, but it looks like a top of the line tool. It's unfortunate that the only way to brake the blade that quickly is to actually break it, but you're absolutely right, Mike, what's more expensive $89 bucks or a trip to the hospital?

Apparently though, as safe as it is, it costs just as much as the saw does to reset the mechanism and replace the blade. I guess that doesn't matter much when you realize that you get to keep your finger. I’ve seen this thing before.
