<div dir="ltr"><div>Before I bought a saw last year I wrote Sawstop and asked them a question about the moisture in treated wood setting off the blade retraction system. I wish that I had not erased the message but what it amounted to was that there was an over ride of some sort (me brain ain't what it used to be) but cutting treated wood or wood with high moisture content without setting the override was not recommended. Anywho, I wonder if Bosch's system is the same or just will not trigger using treated wood. </div><div><br></div><div>Also, am I correct that before Sawstop saws the system was developed and was to go on a name brand saw like Jet or Delta but never happened because it was thought that it was too cost prohibitive?</div><div><br></div><div>Getting to the article, I would really like to know just how Sawstop has determined that their system has saved thousands, really thousands (?) of accidents. If so, they have sold thousands of replacement cartridges to a whole lot of mighty careless folks.</div><div><br></div><div>I do not doubt the validity of SS making a good saw and a good system...........but are they thinking that they are the only ones that are interested in buyers safety? I do think that the saw is over priced as for what it is. As I mentioned I was considering last year and could afford one, but decided against the SS solely on cost vs what you get.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope I did not lead us into a "what price is safety?" debate.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 7, 2015 at 5:46 PM, via Woodworkers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org" target="_blank">woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>

<div>I recently read an article in Woodshop news that Sawstop is taking Bosch to
court over patent infringement. Not that their (Bosch) technology is
anything like Sawstops, but rather over the idea of technology that stops a saw
blade. I have attached the article. It appears from the article that
Sawstop thinks they are the only ones who can have a technology that stops saw
blades.</div>
