Doug Ried just uploaded information about a price increase (the first one in a few years). You can order from him and save 15% (10% from him and 5% from Shopsmith). As he said, "good news and bad news"!

Are Military discounts still available? Nothing stays the same, cost of doing business/wages/materials.

Military discount through Shopsmith or Doug? Just active or vets too?

Doug did not mention military discounts, just his independent internet store discount and a special discount from Shopsmith thru Doug...
I believe that only Lowes offer a military discount on Shopsmith. (Doug doesn't collect sales tax by the way, unless you live in Ohio, kinda like an additional discount!)

I got an email from SS this morning. Prices go up on 15 August. They have a 5% discount on everything through 14 August.

What kind of "increase" are we talking about?

If you didn't get the email it looks like this:

No LOL, I was wondering what percentage of price hike we are expecting .... I thought the Democrats have told us inflation is under control ....

Thank you, Chris. I did not get this email, but did get one about Doug Reid is in the process of making a video about the jointer. He asked for input. I appreciate this OP.
