John, I had bought my Contractor's saw new in 1995 and it cost me about $950 with a good fence and mobile base. I was offered a Cabinet saw a few years ago where the guy was claiming that he'd give me a good deal, I was so not interested that I didn't even ask the brand, model number, or the price. Then as you probably know I sunk a bunch of time into dust collection and a couple other addons to my saw to upgrade it. Well I thought that others would appreciate haveing a good dust hood and maybe a paddle switch on thrir saws, it's been a extremely up hill battle with it since 2007. I'm really about wore out, lost my passion for woodworking because I couldn't make it there, now I'm loseing interest in being inventive, or atleast shareing it. Then ofcourse theres some other things in my life that I'm really haveing a hard time with, plus how people and things have changed for the worse in this country, it just isn't like it use to be. I know things could be worse, but I'm tired of worrying about it all and geting no where.
