Paid a couple of hundred less in circa 2009.

But, let's see, $915/7 = $131.71 year or $10.50/month +/-

Just on the saw, and its components alone, I easily save 50+ times
that a month on the expenses that are not easily seen in the grand
scheme of things, but eat at your profit nonetheless - like clean-up
costs, and wear and tear/fuel on trips back to the shop to get a
table saw quality cut, repeatability, and those things that eat up
time, like clamping.
That doesn't even take into account how much profit can be made with
the ability to quickly and easily make _repeatable_ quality cuts that
can't be done on a table saw, like angled cuts, and plunge cuts.

The devil is in the details, but so is the profit ...

I don't argue with either you or Leon as it relates to your convictions
about Festool. It is indeed a matter of how you measure and how you see the
costs and the benefits. Like I've said a lot of times - just not
justifiable for me, with the kind of work I do and the amount of work I do.
