Huh? That's 8% of the -sale- price, dude. On your $3199 Unisaw,
that'd be $255.92 plus $100 for the part, or $355 per saw. You think
that's a fair price for a self-professed crusader to end saw injuries
to get for his invention? I call it highway robbery. If all saw
manufacturers suddenly added that price to their saws, sales would
plummet immediately, with people buying used saws instead.
Agreed ... very damn few manufacturers of this type equipment, with the
regulations and "social engineering" they already have to deal with via
government mandate just to do business, have a _margin_ that will
withstand an 8% hit on each product + mandated parts.
