Freshman Economics
increase in liability costs = investment in technologies to decrease liability
technology = other companies offer similar technology to Sawstop
initial technology (early adapters) = higher cost (Sawstop model)
increased cost = lower sales volume
lower sales volume = decrease price to avoid layoffs and cover overhead as infrastructure already exists
decreased price = $1500 sawstop or Delta, Jet... equivalent within 2 years
yea this is the part that is newThat's an article from over a year ago, did I miss something new?
Another alternative is that sawstop is acquired by Black & Decker that makes Delta. It is often less expensive long term to consume your competitor than to play in their sandbox (the pharma/biotech model).
