If that were so, why didn't every manufacturer jump on it at once and
lower the price even more? Perhaps you should read someone's history
of the company other than Gass', though they're hard to find. It may
be illuminating.


Because they were too cheap and figured they could all collectively
freeze him out. Now, it's going to cost them more. If even *one*
tablesaw manufacturer had paid the price and contracted the sawstop
technology exclusively, they'd own the market. Now, it's too late.


I can see it now, SawStop will be blamed for not forcing the license
early on, to the companies that will fail.

A problem with most businesses is that they want to blame their short
sightedness on some one else.
