Future SawStop Killer? #woodworking

Is this technology what will finally take down SawStop's dominance?

This technology is from Altendorf

Will this be the technology what will finally take down SawStop? (when the price comes down)

[Gravattack]

I don't think SawStop has much to worry about with this one

I used to use an altendorf in a shop I worked at previously. They are absolutely amazing saws it’s really hard to go back to a sawstop after getting used to the sliding table saw.

I’m not really seeing that in a woodworker’s single car garage/wood shop.

[Critter]

Competition, yes, but at a probably twenty-thousand dollar price point, I can’t imagine it doing too much against $800-$1, 200 Sawstop tablesaws.

The Altendorfs are high end saws, really expensive, too much for my 2 man cabinets shop.

This is cool, I used to run an altendorf 12' slider, it didn't have this on it. We upgraded to a martin t75 and I love that thing.

Will it recognize a hand with only 3 fingers? I could have used something like this a few years ago. 😢

[richtomlinson]

we have a much older Altendorf slider, and they are expensive.
We can cut a twelve foot piece on the sliding side.

Gotta chill with thsee clickbait titles.

I believe (but don't know for sure) that most table saw injuries occur when the hand is past the blade and then is pulled through it. This is what happened to me--I was lucky and didn't have the blade very high so it only nicked my thumb.
I wonder if this can detect a hand behind the blade that is too close, not in front of it.
Again, I don't know for sure, but I don't think pushing your hand into the blade is the big problem.

Good healthy competition is needed. It drives innovation. As long as this company doesn't lobby the government and try to force its product on the consumer like saw stop did. I am curious how well this will hold up with heavy use.

Paid 5K for my SawStop, and that's expensive. Not many people would have the room or $ for a saw like this unless they are professional furniture makers. I dont think sawstop has much to worry about. This saw is amazing but is designed for a very specific clientele.

I like this system because you can cut wet wood or aluminum and still have the safety feature active. With Saw Stop if you want to cut wet wood you have to disable the safety feature. Also, the foreman on a job was using the saw stop to cut mdf, the safety feature was wrongly activated, two different times.

These saw are amazing, hopefully they can translate that tech to consumer products since they only offer commercial now. Saw stop has a few years before they start worrying

[DepartedHunter]

If you can’t even get your MSRB under where the sawstop is, you will never be the sawstop killer. They unfortunately had a decade plus of market dominance and established ties with government safety and insurance policies. Even if the technology is better it’s going to be an uphill battle unless the MSRB is extremely competitive.

[AdrianHiggins]

What's the brand, want to google them

[NickName_]

Hopefully the competition will drive the saw stop price down!! as is I can’t afford a sauce. I seriously doubt I could afford this.

[Logical_Fool]

People thinking that this is expensive don't understand the tech. It's a motion sensor combined with 1 linear track

This tech is already cheap. Would be nice and a bit more expensive if you could change the depth of the blade precisely like a linear axis.

Sawstop killer? only 10x to 15x more expensive!
