Cool. I thought about doing one of these, but realized it was a) still manual operation, and b) kinda silly to worry about wireless control of a machine that is already connected by a 4" diameter hose.I designed an AC sense circuit that automatically turns on the DC whenever the table saw is on, and lets it run for a couple of minutes after the saw is powered down.
I'm keeping an eye out for powered gates so I can make it 100% automatic (I don't have enough DC to not use blast gates).

I was thinking of using an arduino to control a cheap dc powered door lock actuator, to create my own automatic blast gate. maybe with a a piezo vibration sensor or ac sense circuit. Do you believe this would be that tough to do?
thanks,
