Much is being read into the fact that Sawstop has not shipped
any machines yet. There are some pretty straightforward issues
here, tho, that have nothing to do with the safety gizmo and all
to do with it being a brand new company in this business. I wonder
how long it took Grizzly to release its first product from the day it
formed itself ?


Do you think it was six years before they shipped anything? Hardly.


Probably more like a month, or the time it took to get tools here after they'd
already been contracted in Taiwan. The owner of Grizzly knew exactly what he's
doing, as he has known pretty much every step of the way since he started back
in '83. Get the product to the customer as fast as possible, at the lowest
possible cost consistent with reasonable quality, and improve the product as
fast as is possible without blowing costs out of sight.
