Having read various posts on the "exorbitant" price increases of recent months, I wonder what planet do some of you guys inhabit ?
I was going through some old paperwork when I discovered an official Price List for my Inca machines. Now, Inca was a Swiss woodworking macine manufacturer now defunct, which made high quality machines mainly for the DIY market.
The 7" Table Saw cost £350.72 without motor,this cost another £183.00. Of course table extensions, stands, fences etc were extras.A quick calculation of the price if you bought the saw with all the extras and jigs was a very reasonable £1800 The planer thicknesser and bandsaw were similarly priced with motors, stands etc all extra.
Sort of reminded me of the good old days when, if you bought a car, heaters external mirrors and radios were extra.In fact some manufacturers charged extra for the passenger windscreen wiper. But the date on my Inca price list is 1983 .So let's have no more complaints about prices (Festool excepted)
