[Woodworkers] What happened to...?

[Dave Heitstuman]

If I am not mistaken the Bosch cannot be sold in the USA but it is still sold elsewhere.   A little searching I found this

Meanwhile I was searching for something last summer/early fall and I stumbled on a place in Canada that had them listed for sale.  So if a guy was interested he could get one from our friends to the north.  Of course it might help if you knew somebody that lived up there that could pick it up as a gift (wink wink) for you.  I thought about contacting a fellow I know in Vancouver to go check them out.

I found this comparison of the 2 saws, I remember reading when it came out.

I believe that was Bosch. Their system used the air bag devices to lower the blade below the table, but did not stop the blade. It seemed like a pretty good system in that the air bag device was two-sided ( meaning one device could be used twice by simply reversing it) and it didn't ruin a blade when it activated.

As expected, Sawstop sued claiming patent infringement and a judicial order was handed down to cease all Bosch sales until the case was decided. I haven't heard of any resolution yet. And with SS being bought by Festool, their legal pockets got a lot deeper...
It's too bad. I had high hopes for a SS competitor, and this one was pretty impressive - and less expensive...

A while back there were reports of competitor to the
saw stop system. It used auto air-bag sensors.
Then Sawstop got their legal beaglesl involved.
Anyone know what happened to this system.??
Thanks
