Festool'll have to stay out of the equation on the TS from the EU regulation standpoint or there will be no dado head of any type; EU reg's prohibit them and I think enforce user compliance by not allowing an arbor shaft long enough to mount one...
Sure but the key patents are about to lapse. These are first patents that block other implementations. The rest are just that, implementations and relatively easy to work around.

I d on't see much commentary about the actual technological achievements, but i t could be he has taken this as far as his own talent can take it. While fu rthering his own agenda he has no doubt sunk countless hours and dollars in to defending the blade stop patents.

I see your point but have you heard of Hammer, Atendorf? While not brands we often see, any of us have heard of them.

Entirely possible but the SawStop is a game changer. FWIW I was aware of the Domino a year or two before it was available here and before I bought my first piece if Festool equipment. I think Youtube has probably already made the SS pretty well known.
I doubt it is available in Australia. The blades turn in the opposite direction there and the brake cartridge flips the blade up higher. I'm pretty sure they use the fence on the opposite side too.
