Crazy lady just listed another one in Dallas. People here are insane.

$3,800 for a 510 with a router table and jig saw.
$2,300 (reduced? OMG jump quickly) for a 510 and bandsaw that's been listed well over a year.

I strongly doubt that shopsmith will ever offer any REAL discounts on anything (products, accessories, shipping, etc.) My impression is they have a new-age bean counter who was tought to look at everything on a "per line" basis. Each line in their finance book is designed to yield the most...
