Did some online pricing today sourcing from outlets here in WA and for what seems to be the exactly same table this was revealed. Timbecon $439, Hare & Forbes $572, Carbatec $599, Beyond Tools $699 and Power Tools and Machinery $795. Guess who might have my business?

That is a very good price at Timbecon. Grab it while you can. Just a word of caution, check out the aluminium fence and make sure it does not have excessive flex. If it checks out fine then it would be good to go.

There's no excuse for that kind of mark up between bottom & Top :( ...unless they're preempting a GST rate rise which is still BS.

I priced a Makita sliding compound saw two weeks ago. Prices ranged from $619 to $459. Some businesses obviously are waiting for someone who doesn't shop around:no:
