"I probably unintentionally hit a few "hot buttons," so I'm sorry for any hurt feelings, just a point of view."
Hey Cecil, you sure hit some 'hot buttons", but I don't think anyone was offended - certainly not me. Its a great thread and a lot of good ideas came out of it.
Reading Tod's comments, I suspect a lot of what we pine for (pun intended) already exists in the commercial world, but none of the hobby lobby manufacturers are very interested in bringing it down to their marketplace (most of us). I read somewhere that the DIY business got its start when Mr. DeWalt learned that a lot of the electric drills he made for business were being "borrowed" for home use. Wish somebody up there would get curious again.
BTW, my $450 festool saw has a riving knife. Wish my $1,500 Unisaw did.
