SawStop has announced that they “expect to raise prices” on July 15, 2025.
SawStop, which is owned by Festool’s parent company, has not disclosed what the new prices will be or by how much they expect to raise prices.
The safety-oriented table saw company has raised prices periodically in the past. They have made no indication as to whether this was a planned increase or if the price hikes are in response to the new baseline and reciprocal tariffs on imported products.

[X] company is raising prices will be the headline that keeps on giving. It’s going to be everyone, everywhere, for the foreseeable economic future until something drastic happens politically.
Stuart
Yes, but it’s been 2 years and they might have been due. Price adjustments preceded tariffs news, and will follow as well.
DH
prices have been rising steady for the last five years, this is nothing new and its absurd. Companies raise until sales slow. Once sales slow we will see a halt to these obnoxious increases. Welp thats my 2 cents

Selling less for more money and achieving higher profitability is a time-honored strategy. Sawstop is a premium product that has long commanded a premium price. They may stop or slow the increases when they have meaningful competition in their market segment.

Seems likely it is due to the tariffs.

A seeming us company looking like they are owned by a german company owned by a company based in Hong Kong. There is more in the financial report on the board of directors than there is discussion on their business.

Love my Laguna tablesaw at half the price. While it doesn’t have touch sensing technology, it does have a riving knife and blade guard, and is far safer than my old Delta contractors saw.

Inflation feels like it’s almost entirely driven by companies who realized during COVID that consumers will pay whatever they ask for a product. Tariffs will drive more price increases but these companies already figured out the playbook well before that. Consumers need to just stop consuming for a while and let these companies figure out how to restructure to be more competitive.

It might be a time for an increase, but if they blame tariffs, they’ll have to back off of that one after a federal court ruled yesterday that the president can’t just impose tariffs without Congress. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/28/us-court-blocks-trump-tariffs
So, the whole pricing thing is up in the air again. (Not political, just a news item)
