That’s bullshit. They need to expire Sawstop’s patents and give other manufacturers a couple years to duplicate that tech if they are going to require all table saws to include what is currently proprietary technology.

They literally agreed to open the patent if the safety rule goes into effect.

We dont need the second half.
The vendor said they can copy the mechanism outright. If the “name brands” start prototyping now, they should be able to have working models ready to go when the change is made.
