- I saw the Total Shop unit at a local show ($500.00). I even ordered
- one but cancelled when I saw the woodtek from woodworkers supply
- looked identical for $100.00 less. I bought the woodtek but was
- disappointed in the quality and slop in the bearings and sent it
- back. The Total shop claims to have US bearings and motor. I ended
- up with an RBI from the factory. It was a demo unit with no motor
- for $500.00. Much better built than either Total shop or woodtek.
- I haven't made my final descision about how well I like the RBI
- lower blade holder or the pull back motion of the blade on the up-
- stroke.
- Hegner also quoted me $500.00 on a re-worked unit with no motor.
