That table saw looks very nice, but also $7,000? That's not the same market that people are talking about.

I'm not so sure if other companies have the ability at a sub $2000 price point! Bosch came out with their own system that they thought was different. The product was on shelves for a year and then SawStop successfully sued. If a major company like that is unable to do it even after their lawyers gave them the clearance, I'm a bit dubious it's that easy.

Sure it's a pro saw.

Evidence from the lawsuits says they could do it at the 299 or 399 price point. Cost per saw was like 50 bucks.
