Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

Link works fine, I was wondering what happened with the Bosch saw.

Link works.
Hopefully Bosch will drop the price and sell these cheaply in the Caribbean.

Wonder if Bosch will buy back their saws since the consumer cannot buy replacement cartridges once they no longer work.
The technology is not the same so personally I do not see how Bosch is infringing on SS technology.

Making sawdust regularly, occasionally a project is completed.

This might not be the end but is what I predicted/expected.

So when does saws top patten exspire?

Bosch acted as a jackal and brought little new to the party (yes, I'm aware that the blade was was not trashed with triggering). I have a Ridgid 3660 but admire the quality of the Sawstop products and Gass's invention and entrepreneurialism.

In 2020 or 2021. I expect that Jointers, band-saws, and everything else will be available with that technology at that point.

IIRC the ORIGINAL patent expires in 2022 or 2023. Again just going from memory.

In a very real sense of irony, part of how I am buying a non saw stop (vintage Unisaw) table saw is with money I will be getting back from Volkswagen when I sell back a Diesel Jetta. Will be buying some other vintage American woodworking iron with that money as well.
The buy back thing is a slippery slope. Apparently some vintage Radial arm saws are being bought back because of a feature with the guard...and the buy back goes back to products built as long ago as 1958.
You can check out the buy back by googling Radial Arm saw recall I think.
At any rate, yes they will probably have to buy them back and possibly resell them in another market or destroy them, sadly...

I admire the entrepreneurship of Gass as well.

couldn't Bosch buy them back and disable the safety system and then resell them to recoup some of the loss?
Member
couldn't Bosch just send out a retrofit cartridge that doesn't discharge

Nice. Means my SawStop PCS will hold its value until then! lol
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!
