aye chihuahua,
it seems like i stirred up a little bit of a hornets nest. i now realize what i have done. it was bad form to recommend another product that competes with oak park on an oak park forum.
as far as brand loyalty goes i am not too big on that. i am more a quality/value ratio kind of guy. i dont think i own 2 major power tools from the same company. in fact oak park is the only company i have done business more than once.
router table with vacu-plate and assorted acessories
3" clamps
jointer fence
3 baseplates
extra lock nut and reducer
i am not even going to try to figure out what the retail cost on this stuff comes to, but the bottom line comes down to the fact that i just felt that the price they are charging for those guides is exorbitant and i needed to find an alternative. ( i even found the factory in taiwan were they are made) quality of them is actually excellent.
also, one last thing.. does anyone know if or when bob and rick will get to massachusetts or the new england area. i really would like to see them live.
