    Just like Henry Ford. Who would buy a car in something other than Black?

    Let's say you're gonna use it to separate frozen hamburgers:

    Well, being a Missouri Tiger alum I think black and gold would be a great combination!

    They'll paint it and give you a label?
    That's not exactly custom. Now an iron top made to the geometry you want with holes where you want- - say for your router etc. That might be custom

    I kinda agree with you, Cliff...it would be much more accurate to bill this as a custom paint option, although they are having the tables Blanchard ground as part of the deal and mention a motor, too. I'm not sure that's a huge value add.

    What I want to know is whether they can guarantee that the blade stays in the same plane when raised and lowered. I'd pay extra to know it's dead on like it ought to be.

    Another question. Does the Asian iron get another run through the grinder, or is it American iron? And is it stable? Either way, no point grinding again unless the iron is finished moving and is stable.

    Why reduce the resale value by painting it Mizzou colors when you could automatically increase its value by painting it Husker Red and White?

    For $3500, are you just better off getting a Sawstop? Or is the Powermatic that superior of a saw?
