There was also the period when they were pushing for legislation that
would require their patented technology be a requirement for all new
table saws, via licensing.

I worked for a time in a shop with the Industrial version, it seemed a
perfectly good saw but the nuisance trip rate was not minimal; I think
we went through a cartridge/blade combination every 3 months or so,
but that was in a shop with a regular 40-hour work week. Somehow, I
tripped one that neither actuated the brake or dropped the blade... It
occurred after a short bind while ripping fresh 1x pine, I pushed
through the bind and then the blade coasted to a stop, and the
diagnostic lights indicated the cartridge needed to be replaced.
