Interesting point, Barry.

75-500 22' drill press.
I got an e-mail from General directing me to a dealer in San Antonio.
I'm advised that most dealers don't stock the 22" because of low demand but
the San Antonio dealer has them.

When I bought my saw, I remember some dealer to dealer battles over true
online sales. General may have a Minimum Advertised Price policy.
I bought my 650 from toolsplus.com, but I picked it up locally. At the
time, a Florida dealer had the saw for $150 less (without my state's
sales tax), and I had access to free northbound truck space. After
showing the ad to Tools Plus, the Florida dealer couldn't come up with a
saw to sell, and the price was removed from his website.

Uh... let me see if I can restate this to see if it elicits an answer to my
question.
I live in Texas. The nearest dealer for woodworking machines manufactured by
General (the Canadian woodworking machine manufacturer) in the state of
Texas is located in San Antonio, a distance of over 700 miles.
When I accessed the General website, I noticed a dealer in Tucson (much
closer) but then it occurred to me that there *might* be a dealer who sells
online and *might* have favorable shipping costs.
I said to myself, "Self, post a message to the wreck and see if someone has
a *recommendation* for an online dealer".
So....... I'm still trying.
Max (looking for a good deal on a particular machine from General)

Just out of curiosity, who is that Tucson dealer?

It's a Woodcraft store. There's also one in Chandler.
Arizona Hardwoods and Woodworking Machinery in Phoenix also handles General
machines but didn't have the one I wanted although they can special order
it.
