Down in my shop I have a drawing of the shop from the Workshop Planner at Grizzly.com, anyway I did this in 2004 and I obtained my machines in 2002. I don't know if the prices are from 2004, or the price I paid back in 2002. I knew the prices had gone up, but sure not by almost 74%. I could not afford to buy my shop at today's prices. I was involved in competition shooting and had a valuable gun which I sold and was then able to afford the cost of the tools back in 2002. Also before I paid all that for my tools I spent a year with my neighbor who is also a woodworker to decide if woodworking was really for me before I spent all that money. Anyone else have their prices they paid and what they cost today? These are all Grizzly tools;
Tablesaw 2002 price $435 2012 price $795
D.C. 2002 price $130 2012 price $190
