NiteWalker:
That's really good, especially if someone wants to get into pocket joinery.

Thanks Drew. A lot of the time their %off prices are good, but also a lot of the time they so grossly set the MSRP so high that even at 60%+ off it's still around retail. I grab for those that drop way below retail. Here's a few examples; I got 2 Dewalt DW618PK kits for $149.99 shipped each. I also got a Porter Cable 7518 for $236 shipped last year. That was actually on sale very recently for $199 and has a Porter Cable $50 mail in rebate. Yet another tool I got for way below retail: Delta 50-760 for $204 shipped. The deals show up, you just have to show patience and know when to grab them.
Another thing that makes deals so nice are the discount codes like the PTA20OFF code mentioned above and the manufacturer rebates.

Hunt me up a BT3 for cheap. I've got a nice rebate check that's causing a rash on my leg from me itching to spend it ;D
NiteWalker:
The BT3 is a great portable saw, but wouldn't you be happier with an induction motor contractor saw? ;)
For instance the Ridgid TS3650 is a great contractor saw for the money. If you can muster up a 10% off coupon it'll only be $494 before tax. Good price for a good saw. It's a well received saw and can handle dado sets and aftermarket accessories. Another highly regarded saw in the benchtop range is the Ridgid TS2400LS.
If you ever think you'll outgrow the BT3100, you probably will. You're getting a nice refund from the tax man, splurge on yourself. ;D :cheers:
