I agree 110% I made my table for around $1100.? Found the lift table for $600 and added the wheels and the Paulk/MFT top for about another $300
I personally think a Barth table should be no more than maybe $3,000 tops

Randy,
Yes, Barth products are clearly overpriced. They have to be super nice for such a ridiculous price for a non-rocket science product. I think Barth still can make a decent profit even cutting the price in half.

James... that's why I got the bBessey hold down clamp from Zoro and the adapter..way cheaper than that Barth Bessey hold down clamp. I can buy 2 of the clamps off of Zoro and the adapters for less than 1 of the Barth Bessey clamps

Compared to the Barth price, $120 for a Bessey custom made hold down clamp, Festool price is very reasonable :)

it has been sometime now that Rockler is selling festool again. i had heard from a person working at the store that festool walked away due to rockler not adhering to the pricing agreement. apparently they have mended the relationship.
