Why in the world is this deal on Front Page? A B&M YMMV deal with a very limited interested audience? Not a bad deal but definitely not FP material. Must be a slow day.

I think the high price is due to the fact that Kreg has patents on a lot of their stuff, so they feel they can charge whatever they want ... that is, until the patent runs out.

Good deal for great equipment, but definitely not FP because of the YMMV issue.
