I was cleaning out an old bookshelf and came across this 2003 Grizzly catalog. Coincidentally, I’d just received a 2023 mailer. I was shocked by the increases in price.
Some highlights:
Standard 14" band saw: $375 vs. $800
Standard 6" jointer: $400 vs. $900
4-piece Bessey K-body clamp set: $150 vs. $350
I know nothing about how inflation works, so I’m not sure whether this tracks with the price of bread or whatever, but it was eye-opening.
LOL at the pedantic takes from the posts above and below you.
Of course I meant recent inflation.
And yes, OP often means the commentor one step up, not necessarily the literal original poster.
We teach elementary school kids the idea of “context clues”. Somehow that gets thrown out the window on social media?
