Steve Gass continues to make friends. I wonder if someone losing a
finger will sue Gass for not allowing Bosch to sell here.

Is there a shortage of Saw Stop saws here? Is the price of Saw Stop so
prohibitive here that anyone who would have bought a Reaxx for the
safety feature can't/won't buy a Saw Stop?

IOW, I don't see how anyone could sue the company that offers a
comparable
product to the banned one. If someone wants the technology, and a Saw
Stop
is available at roughly the same price, why would Gass be liable if
someone
chooses not to buy his product? How did Gass cause that finger to be
lost?

You can sue anybody for anything. Doesn't mean
you'll win.

We just want something horrible to happen to
Gass.

Speak for yourself.
The man offered all the companies the licensing rights. none took him up
on it.

Exactly and with out a clue as to what the actual costs were are
suddenly experts at what a license should cost.
The other companies were betting against this getting off the ground and
lost, lost really big. One was about to pull the trigger to get the
license and got cold feet. I would imagine that the cost was not too
much for them but probably pulled out when every one else looked the
other way. I bet they are kicking themselves in the butt now.

Either way the patents will run out sooner than later.




I don't begrudge him. You do.. that's your problem.

His patent covers the method of detection too, which REAXX used.
same as a gfci... I guess Gass was smart enough to cover that.


What I am really happy about is that the SawStop is a high quality
machine. Expensive, YES, but high quality machines are expensive but
not all offer the technology.
