It was just too heavy for him, and he swapped me for a torpedo heater and 20 lb tank of propane. I figure I am out about $105 US. Hey, here you can buy a 2HP Skil Plunge with LED worklight for $63.
If there is anybody in or near Windsor, ON with one of these King routers I would love to see it in action. Contact me and we will plan a day of making the sawdust fly. |
Mike a 1617 combo kit is $350 regular price. I would imagine there are sales that knock it down to $300 or perhaps $280. The competition in Calgary is pretty stiff so nobody charges WAY to much and lives very long. Here is some pricing with bot Canadian and US funds.

If you click on the link to the specifics of the tool US prices come up, and if you are in a really strange mood you could also pay in Euro's.
These guys are pretty much the benchmark in Calgary. They pretty much match the BORGs.
Hope that helps.
