I went to my local Beaver Lumber/Home Hardware store today. While
doing my customary obeisance to the General 350 and surreptitiously
wiping my drool off, I noticed a flyer on the adjoining jointer.
General are having a sale. For those of you living so far in the

Now Marilyn wants to buy me the 8" jointer for Christmas (the real
one, not the cheaper Chiwanese ones). Except I've got no room to put
it until I add the 8' to the shop next spring. On the other hand,
maybe I can put it on the mobile base. Anyway, I thought some of you
might be interested.

Have General prices skyrocketed since 2002? I paid around $800 for the
Canadian 15" drill press in 2002.

The brochure shows a price of $1289 for the General 15" drill press.
Maybe this is an MSRP and the selling price is a lot less, I don't know.
I did find a online store listing the General 15" drill press for $1149.
