Also, Lortone has quit making the slab saws they made for many years. [This is truly a great loss – I loved the Panther saw!] This size slabbing saw will be replaced by an equal brand, that being the American made Covington Engineering slab saw. New equipment we are stocking this year include: - A new 18" Dual Deck VIBRATING FLAT LAP by Diamond Pacific. - We are now stocking an 18" SLAB SAW from Covington. - A new COMBINATION MACHINE from Covington. - 2 types of HEAVY DUTY/INDUSTRIAL quality BELT SANDERS from Covington. - Anew line of DIAMOND SANDING BELTS. Concerning prices. You will note that a great many of them are up. Please remember the prices in the last catalog, that being the 2016 – 2017 edition, were based on late 2015 pricing as we published that catalog in early 2016. It is now early 2019. The current pricing is based on 2019 numbers. YES, INFLATION IS ALIVE AND WELL CONTRARY TO WHAT THE GOVERNMENT SAYS!!!! AS FOR SHIPPING COSTS, Since I published the last catalog dated 2016-2017, U.P.S. shipping costs have risen by almost 15%!! In fact, in an e-mail communication I received from a U.P.S. Vice President of Operations in December of 2018, he bragged about how great of a job U.P.S. (United Parcel Smashers) was doing, how they had the best paid drivers in the industry and oh, by the way expect a 5.4% increase in ground shipping charges for 2019!!!!! In fact the shipping industry has come up with a new GIMMICK!! It is call DIMENSIONAL WEIGHT. What this means, say you have a baseball and for some reason put it in a 1 cubic foot box to ship. The box and ball weigh 1 pound. Instead of paying to ship 1 pound they charge you for an optimal weight for this size box which is 17 POUNDS. You pay for shipping 17 pounds instead of the actual 1 pound of weight!!!! Simply put, M.L.S. tries to charge our exact cost of shipping back to the customer. No markup, no service charge, and in fact we try as accurately as possible to rebate to you the customer any discounts we receive from our shipping providers. We will always try and ship by the least costly means we have at our disposal!! Sincerely, Val B. Carver Val B.
