The "BIG" tools - even though we may not have them displayed on our showroom floor, we are able to get you 'the bigger tools' from our vendors (e.g., 20" bandsaws, 12" tablesaws, and so forth). We are also able to now offer you the opportunity to purchase metal-working equipment, such as the Wilton brand. Talk to Ron, Angela, Eli or Sandy, if you're interested in getting a free quote.
CNC Machines - Speaking of power tools, we are bringing in one of General International's CNC machines. We're in the process of arranging for some FREE demos, as well as a couple of 2-hour introductory sessions that will go into a bit more detail. If you would be interested in attending one of these intro sessions, drop us an e-mail at woodcraft307@eschelon.com and we'll get you on a notification list. At this moment, we have tentative dates set for mid-September. We should have firm dates and times shortly, so we'll post the information here on our homepage for your reference. Check back.
Further, we're planning a full one-day session specially targeted to woodshop educators, that will not only introduce you to the CNC machine and provide an overview of the software, but will also cover some of our newer power tools. Again, we're looking to do this mid-September, so drop us an e-mail (woodcraft307@eschelon.com) if you're interested and provide us with your school, and school's address. Thanks!

One of the exciting things about his visit is that on Saturday, the 19th we will have a FREE DEMO, open to everyone, showcasing how Rob turns 'an ol' Stanley' hand plane into a tool that planes like the higher-end models. You will be amazed!
