At other forums I've used the 'Link' button in the toolbar prompts you for both the URL and the display text, which makes it really easy...
--- Quote ---On a side note, Scott, why the dislike of Delta tools? Or is it just their junk Shopmaster line that you don't care for? I've always felt my Delta tablesaw was on par with the equivalent Jet model.

It's just the low-end junk. Delta makes many good tools. My Delta TwinLaser compound miter saw is one of my favorite tools. And my Delta 50-760 dust collector works very well when I'm not asking it to do the work of a 3HP cyclone dust collector ;D But the Shopmaster line and some of their other low-end stuff is only slightly better than Harbor Freight... based on what I've seen.

Don't know if it's chain wide or what, but at my local Sears, they have a few routers in the clearance shelves. Some were as low as $35. Not a PC or DeWalt but a strong tool at that price for sure.
Saw that router/table combo too. The table is pure crap, complete crap, like PVC lawn furniture but half as strong. I'd be afraid to use it. 1/2" fiberboard top, mitre gauge very sloppy.

I'm not sure if this applies to everyone but at Amazon I used 20OFFJUN to hack 20% off the Incra Miter 5000... plus free super saver shipping so it was $240 shipped. Whoot! (Much better than $300 plus shipping and tax from Rockler, or at least tax if I went and picked it up.) I now have a full size "contractor's" saw so I'm looking forward to getting this... I bet it whoops my old home made crosscut sled on the old 22" deep table that my old saw had, LOL.

just fyi...those aren't noise cancelling...they are noise reducing...
i own a pair...they are awesome...but don't think that they are the electronic kind that create an out of phase signal to cancel out the wavelength of a loud noise...
