PSA: Starrett Sold to a Private Equity Company
Just popping in for a quick PSA...don't worry, I won't linger here. I have always liked products from Starrett company and held them in high regard. In recent years, I discovered they had moved quite a few of their products to manufacturing outside of the US. Online reviews were less than favorable ...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
OKAY then to what theory do you subscribe? I would guess the Theory of Everything . Getting warmer...Keep in mind theories are only needed for what is unknown in universes. To understand it better, from an Earth science perspective, check out quantum gravity theory as it will fill in a few gaps. I ...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
RF Guy; Hate to see you go. I have no problems with any opinions that diverge from my own, short of those that promote violence or anti-social action. As has been said by other posters, being confronted with a different point of view can be an excellent prompting to re-evaluate one's own opinions a...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
JPG, Last I checked my skin was 4mm thick for the outer layer and 1cm for the inner layer. How thick would you have it be? :D Again I need to clarify as it seems I have not made my point clear here. It isn't about me having thicker skin or even about others here changing who they are to not offend ...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
All, Up above, I was asked to look in the mirror, so I have taken considerable time to reflect before giving a response. I joined this forum a little over five years ago with the intent to connect with other Shopsmith owners, to hopefully learn some new tips/techniques related to my Mark V since I ...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
We agree on that! ;-) Then I would say "You have not made the point" and probably never will . Exactly. In this moment, I think of the famous quote " Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. " So, I choose to quit. Oh how interesting ...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
None of those are analogous. What would be loosely analogous would be if table saw manufacturers were basketball teams, and that the Sawstop team successfully petitioned the NBA that for them the hoop would be 3 feet lower than for all the other teams. But I guess if they were to get that "law...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
To follow-up on my own post, it seems like some of the opposition to SawStop relates to their actions being perceived as unfair. An analogy or two may help. Business is very similar to sports or other games. In sports there is the rulebook and in business there is the law. As long as you adhere to t...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
It seems to me as though they (Sawstop) did win. I doubt that the sale to the German compant was at a loss. Yeah, I just wish they had stayed an American company and continued to grow organically. Unfortunately M&A's are very attractive, at least they were when interest rates were lower. ;) Too...
