That's an amazing saw. The mechanism they came up with obviously works. I was in a woodshop class in high school and luckily nobody was injured during any of my years, but our teacher had a few stories to tell about experiences he's had with students in the past. There was a kid who lost a couple fingers on the table saw, just like so many other poeple have. In fact, the teacher told us all that the table saw was the most dangerous tool in the whole shop.
But about the quality of the table, it looks like it works pretty well. The concept of a table saw is obviously pretty basic, but it had a few neat features. I love the power switch you can slap with your knee. I remember being nervous a few time while reaching down to flip the switch at school. I also like the smooth operation of the cranks for the blade height and angle, as well as the rip fence. I would defintiely get one of these tables if I had a shop.
