Somebody please tell me when something like that would be needed and
what there is about it that justifies a list price of almost $3K.

Take another look at the ad and its use. The timber frame and log home
builders have a whole set of specialized tools to handle that big stock.
The shipping weight on this item is more than fifty pounds. Some of the
equipment is similar to that used in industrial saw mills. If you don't
like this you probably wouldn't like to buy one of their $ 700 to $1,300
circular saws.
