Bosch expect to comply with a ban on sales of the Bosch Reaxx jobsite table saw when the ban goes into effect March 27., but vow support, and plan to appeal.
SawStop LLC has expressed confidence that the company will win its legal action to block from introducing its new Reaxx table saw to the U.S. A spokesman for SawStop said the trial will likely be held in May and a decision is expected by August 2016.
A federal judge in Florida ruled last week against the manufacturer of Ryobi table saws in a case related to flesh-sensing technology - the type used in SawStop and Bosch Reaxx table saws to instantly stop saw blades to avoid injuring a user.
Bosch flesh-sensing table saw safety technology, available now on its $1,499 Reaxx job site tablesaw, is the first direct competitor for SawStop in this space. It spawned a lot of discussion after Woodworking Network's Ethan Abramson said, "It's the real deal."
