Hello all,
I though I'd vent some frustration over the huge price difference between the US tool prices and those in the UK. A couple of years ago I bought a Jet 10" contractors saw from the states and had it shipped over. The shipping cost was almost the same as the saw cost and I had to pay a futher £200 to clear customs and delivery. Still I was pleased as I had a cast iron saw for much less than could be obtained here in the UK at the time.
I see now that JET is being sold in the UK but the price for the SuperSaw with sliding table and 30" fence is £1300 + delivery ( thats more than $2400 ) whilst you guys in the states can buy the same saw for around $1000 (£515).
No doubt the UK version has been nobbled so you can't even use a stacked dado blade as well.
Ah well, moan over
happy woodworking.
Andy
