But it's not destructive to the saw itself, the aluminum brake is a replaceable part.

It destroys the blade too.

The replacement parts are often more expensive than an entire cheap table saw.

If it saved your finger? Worth it.

If you forgot to disable the feature and cut some wet or pressure treated wood and triggered it? Very irritating,

    Scares the shit out of me every time too. I often have the garage door closed due to weather or to limit noise and it’s like a gun going off in an enclosed space.
