Yes I agree...we are the business owners so we can afford the high prices, the monthly payments, the subscription costs. As a business owner, I am always looking to cheat the system. When we were looking for a wire brush machine the cheapest I found was 20,000 and the most expensive was 110,000...for a machine with a rotating wire brush!! A motor with two brushes and a conveyor belt!! So what did I do? Bought a grizzly drum sander for 4000, reconfigured for about 3500 and boom I have a wire brush with as much capacity as the 110,000 machine. I LOVE cheating the system by doing my own fabrication!
