Drew has one of these and it helped him out a lot during the construction of his flight deck ;). At the price of $35 shipped it's a heck of a deal for a very useful shop tool. Not to mention the fact that starrett is THE company when it comes to measuring devices. They're hard to beat and usually very high priced. I think this normally goes for about $50+ at most places.

Man, I SWEAR I spent that much on mine and bought it straight from the Rockler store by me. There's NO EFFING WAY I woulda spent $50 on that, but a look at their online store shows it's selling for $60! :o
I'm wondering if the price went up on that for some reason or another, because while I love that thing like no other, I'd have never in my fricken LIFE spent that much - just woulda used a wingnut setup or a regular protractor!
I'm wondering if they happened to have it on sale when I bought it - that's just freaking me out for some reason :dizzy:

This tool is from sears. It's a Craftsman 10" bandsaw. The price is $99.99 and shipping is free if you don't feel like picking it up (the box is 77lbs). This isn't a top quality saw and shouldn't be treated or thought of as one, but it is a great saw for $100. I'm buying one and I know it won't be my last, but it'll fit my woodworking needs for now. That's a great price on a great budget tool.
I'm not sure if it comes with blades so here's a set to go with it. Like I said, this is by no means a resawing monster bandsaw, but it's easily one of the best bandsaws out there for $100. I know it easily spanks the delta shopmaster that's at lowes for $100...
Enjoy! :cheers:

Sears extended this sale until 3/24 so if you think you missed out on this bandsaw, now's your chance to grab one. It's an excellent saw for $100. Super quiet. It does come with one blade so no extras are necessary right away. Shipping is still free as well.
:cheers:

Did anyone else have problems getting there router bit set. First it took holbren a week to even ship the order, but I took that in stride since it only cost me 20 bucks. Well, I check my mail on saturday and there is a yellow sticky from the post office saying I can come and pick up my package on monday. Then I read "postage due $3.xx"(I don't remember the exact amount). Is this normal? I am not going to complain since I feel like I robbed them, but did anyone else have this happen?
NiteWalker:
??? ???
It didn't happen to me (out of 3 sets...). Where are you from?
That is odd. They had a lot to ship out so something may have gotten mixed up. It's not the norm. Normally I always have great service from holbren.

I got my bits kit fast and without problem.
