Go back one page from this BB ans there is an excellent link containing important info
on dust hazards to woodies.
Why is the safety eqipment so overpriced..I
recently ordered a replacement visor for my Racal Dustmaster. I didn't check the price as I
had ordered one (same supplier) a year ago for $27. Imagine my surprise when goods were received with a credit deduction for $97.oo.
I contacted the supplier and was informed that Racal had been taken over by 3M and
prices had increased greatly. (The full unit will now ship for just under a grand.)
What is the justification....it surely cant be the cost of a few plastic bits, abattery unit and tiny motor. Is this a GST ploy? Does anyone believe the price will come down later.
PROTEST...if your'e dead all your fancy tools will be worth squat.
ENCOURAGE...a manufacturer of a reasonably priced alternative which I believe is in the pipeline
IMPROVISE...A tampon up each nostril may work....oh hang on aren't they attracting GST
as a luxury item.
I await your responses eagerly...we can make a change!!!
Cheers
