Went today. Not many people there when I was but I know he got one sale at least.

The double tilt set up seemed pretty stable so it just might help with having both sides being able to use the same extension table. I already have a "left" and a "right" for both of my 520's but if they could be exchanged it would be better.

Not sure double tilt would be worth the expense if you were not going to add the powerpro, at least I don't see the value as a second extension does work....

Someone mentioned the end of April price increases, he responded that it would be just like shopsmith to raise the prices by 10% meaning the show specials will end up being the same as the current non show prices. No way to know if he knows that or was just trying to get some sales now from those who might be on the edge. It does make you wonder.

The general powerpro part I was already familiar with so I can't say much more about that. I would say if you have not see a demo it is worth the time. Hearing and feeling the lack of vibration has to be experienced.

We made the day of it, me and the wife, had a steak subway, visited a couple of parks and enjoyed a nice hike. Amazing number of this same butterfly, I mean 100's of them. On part of the walk there would be a dozen or so in flight around us as we stirred them.

We have never been in the wild and ever came close to seeing so many of this same kind of butterfly!
