Well, only SawStop sells these saws, and I haven't seen anybody need to replace the saw after a firing. They just replace the blade and brake and get back to work.

Replacement cost is always brake and blade.

The blade is always dead. These things work by firing what looks to be an aluminum block directly into the blade.
