List price? The selling price was about $1500

2. Can you build one for less?

So you think it may be a bit excessive for the spice rack I'm making,
then?

You're right. Nothing justifies the idiotic way manufacturers set
their list prices.
The tool, however, is fine, even at that price.

About the only thing I can think of is for planing large timbers to size,
such as post and beam construction. Real price is $1500 (forget the Amazon
"list" prices) or so and I can see that. It is a low volume tool so design
and tooling cost will be spread over lower number of units.

Like Ed pointed out - low sales volume means R&D and mfg tooling costs
are spread over small number of units. The pricing structure for any
OEM product in these times is quite complex.
I would love to have one and am sure I could put it to good use - but
do I *need it*....probably not.

Take another look at the ad and its use. The timber frame and log home
builders have a whole set of specialized tools to handle that big stock.
The shipping weight on this item is more than fifty pounds. Some of the
equipment is similar to that used in industrial saw mills. If you don't
like this you probably wouldn't like to buy one of their $ 700 to $1,300
circular saws.

When you are faced with a Neander that thinks he's somebody with his
#8. And with 33 ft of cord you've got enough to tie him down and make
him watch you use it. Priceless.

They're not really that bad. I took a timber framing class a few years
ago and they had 2. On had an after market 1/2" thick base plate that
had almost no kick on startup. We tended to wait for that one rather
than use the one with the factory base.

Amazon's list prices are BS. They're selling prices are realistic.
This is a specialized tool, just like those giant 16" handheld circular
saws. People working with large timbers need them.

Could be handy if you work a lot with heavy beams and wanted something
faster and smoother than an adz. $3000.00? More like half that.

Maybe not. How much flattening will the wall to which the rack is to be
mounted need?

Would be suitable for timber framers who want to surface large stock... sale
price is about $1,500. Hey what a deal... half price! I want one because I
don't have one. NOT!
