But hey, Robinson screws rule! Anyway, I would suggest that one of the best ways too keep your channels happy is to *NOT* compete against them. Since both Woodcraft and Rockler carry Festool I would guess one or both of them suggested they act like a typical manufacture and not sell against them. cheers, Tom I purchased my saw and Domino at McFeelys abd have been fairly impressed with their service, they occasionaly have some packing issues, or lack there of as the case may be.
