The thought of plunkin' down $625 (Holy ****, $1,079 with shop vac!

Would I accept one in trade? You betcha. (Damn, my crowbars just
burst into tears again. Gotta go.)

You're in the business, right? Section 179 expense ... let Uncle OBama
pay for a good part of it.

Yeah, right. If the rest of the year shapes up anything like the
first quarter has, I'll be in a position to look at Festeringtools for
once. Egad, though, they just overprice the living **** out of 'em,
though. It's like asking what's his butt if I could pay double for
his safe saw. It just doesn't seem _moral_ to pay that much. /huff

Well designed, 'top of the line' tools of the trade save time, effort,
and material, and improve the overall quality of your work ... and waste
of any of those is wasted, and lost, money and opportunity.

That's true, but it only counts when you have too much work to do and
too little time. If you're only working 1/4 of the time, it doesn't
hurt anything, 'cept your leisure time.


Regarding the alternative edge guides and aluminum angle cobble-ups for
circle saws ... I did that for 40 years, there is simply NO comparison
with these guide rail/plunge saw systems.

My mind just copped an accent and it sounds like Aunt Bee. I can just
make out is saying "That's nice dear. I'm sure the Festerer is quite
nice little plunger. Now eat up all your breakfast before you go out
to play."
