Grizzly has it (plus $149 freight and tax). Theyll probably spot you 5% off if you call and ask or get an email coupon.

just reread your question, if its for edge jointing I'd consider a tracksaw and/or a handplane.

edit.. well just reread the OP and dont see where you mentioned edge jointing, guess Im losing it

Thanks Roy. I have never had much success with hand tools. I have a nice router table, routers, and straight bits and think I will look into making an offset fence. I know you can buy one but the prices are just stupid high. I am also not very good with out plans or a picture, even something this simple, so I will be headed to u tube.

Unfortunately it looks like this model isn't available anymore and has been replaced with the G0814 which is about $1,000.

Does anyone else know of a competitor in the same price range (~$700) that is decent?
