TIL that Festool and SawStop are under one umbrella!

For those that don't know, SawStop is one of the most impressive recent techical innovations in tablesaws. It basically smashes a running blade down into an aluminium crashblock as soon as it detects something conductive touching it.

It's great to watch it work: https://youtu.be/rnlTGndRi38?t=158

Also, the list is missing at least Mafell and Fein, but they are (like Hilti and Makita) simply owned by themselves. Edit: and Lamello!
