re: Cost of tools

Interesting that my left tilt Uni cost about the same as my right tilt, twenty years latter, but to replace either now would run about four K.

Next, jump to worm drives, Bosch sabers and so forth. They really have not gone up that much, if at all, in twenty years. My first Bosch barrel was about $170.00. My third was about the same.

Mass production has improved saw blades and you can get some decent ones for fifty or sixty that would shame the best thirty years ago, for the same number of FRN’s.

Clearly, it depends on the item.
