Default This is so cool! A 'safety' table saw that detects your finger.

It seems right now that they are charging around $4000 for the saw when

you
can buy a unisaur for around $1800 so the saw stop option basically is

over
$2000 right now. It seems like this is sawstop's main problem.


Well, taking into account from Sawstop's desire to make a profit, I'd be
interested to know what expense their added technology costs when applied to
a tablesaw. It's almost a given that they are following the same rule that
the drug companies use. Charge to recoup their reseach costs and charge
because no one else has it. I guess all those questions will be answered a
few years after the patent runs out and we see if and how many other
companies adopt sawstop type technology. (That's assuming during the years
leading up that point that the sawstop is still a viable technology)
