This is getting ridiculous

So I picked up the Festool TS55 at that garage sale a couple weeks
back, and I wanted to compare it to the DeWalt tracksaw that I had
seen in a local building supply house. eBay is always a good place to
find DeWalt tools, so I...found none. Not a one. Huh? Nobody is
selling one used? None of the eBay DeWalt people are selling them
new? What gives?

So then I start Googling and ran across this:
http://www.toolstop.co.uk/mafell-pss3100se-automatic-panel-saw-240v-p7728

Ooooh! It's fookin' automatic! I want one. Christmas is coming up,
and you cheap bastards didn't get me anything for my birthday, so bust
open those piggybanks and chip in and get me one and I promise to act
surprised.

I really liked the auto-return feature. I am trying to figure out how
to get my hands on one, just so I can whip it out on a job site and
freak people out.

That's odd, I could almost swear I'm hearing drops of water hitting
the...oh. Robatoy wants one too!

And for only three grand too!! And when the saw returns, the blade lifts
out of the groove, I wonder if it serves coffee too?

They do hve a cheaper one for about $700 that comes in 110 and 240 volt
saws.

I am happy that there are more choices out there. Festool needs the
competition. Still a bit rich for me though.

Bor-ing! I didn't think you wore button-down collars and wingtips on
the job, but it appears I was wrong.

You need something with pop, snap and pizzazz. I'd like to see you
bring that to the job site to blow the owner's mind.

To steal Robatoy's refrain...
I couldn't be bothered to look. In the time it would take me to look
I could have installed a sunburst Swanstone lavabo and made
$60,000. :)

It would be chaeper to find some one that cuts boards better than you to
make your cuts for you. LOL

Silestone is quartz. Excellent material for countertops. Swanstone is
fibreglass/compound mix. Just awful stuff.
