So if sliders are commonly found in garages across Europe and SCM has a foothold in that market, do we have access to the same line of lower priced sliders? I'm guessing no, and that's puzzling.
I would think a manufacturer of sliders would look at what Sawstop has accomplished in unit sales here in the US and think, "there's a growing market for safer table saws and we have a proven solution".
From what I can see, sliders are a proven design and so putting some promotional money behind a 'new' style of saws in a market as big as the US wouldn't be that big of a risk.
Ha, so in other words youre saying why arent they putting their money where their mouth is? I like it!
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!
