I’m sure they do.  Store employees get special pricing at around 20% below dealer cost from Jet, Rikon, etc.  I was able to buy Kreg at 50% off.

Festool once had employee pricing, but it was abused and they ended it.  I don’t know how much it was below cost, but it ended before I was eligible.

Half of what we read or hear about finishing is right. We just don’t know which half! — Bob Flexner
