I love my SawStop and have for a dozen years. I'm okay with you hating SawStop if you want.
I remember when they went to all the manufacturers to licence the system for their saws and they all, including Bocsh, told him no, pound sand, because it would make them liable for their older saws, which put him on the path he took. The one that riled those like yourself.
Bocsh was taken to court because one of their normal saws lobbed off a bunch of fingers and lost big so they embarked on their own blade stopping saw. While they came up with a different way to make it safe and not damage the blade, they violated a number of SawStop patents with the flesh detection side of it. That's why they lost and you don't see them in the US. People that violate patents get spanked and are normally looked down upon for the practice. Well most of the time it seems.
They were sold here until recently by a building chain called Rona owned by Lowes but being more expensive than an equivalent SawStop didn't sell well. They do still sell the cartridges for those that have them though. Not sure if anyone else markets the Boscsh Reaxx saw here.
Now the dilemma for you
will be that Festool has bought SawStop and is now using the technology in new pull saws (small job site table saw that you can pull the blade forward into the wood for crosscuts) they are making in Europe. Even use the same SawStop cartridge.
As far as I know they are going to keep SawStop as is but I wonder if you will endorse Festool if they import their saws to sell here along side the rest of their green goodies? Or are you going to make an exception, or quit Festool altogether and switch to Mafel, Mirka and other European tools?
The Bocsh system is slower than a SawStop so you will get more of an injury than a SawStop. Whether it is enough to make a big difference I can't say. Here are some links to some guys going further than the hot dog test that illustrates.
Sorry for the hijack Tony.
