I know what you mean. Harbor freight has a 7" one for about $45. The ones at menards were $100-120. Dewalt has a few models, ranging from just over $100 to over 200. This one should outlast me. I'm getting closer to my expiration date all the time.

I picked up a bunch of steel today to make some heavy duty stands. That'll give me some welding practice too. I absolutely need it.

My boss called today and said I'm getting a big fat raise in the spring. Something to look forward to. More money for tools and truck parts!!
