The Power Tool Price Watch Thread
clockwork:
I'm so tempted to get that bandsaw. Do I need one? No. Can I imagine any projects I want to do with it? No. But I want it. :)
There's also a craftsman drill press for the same price. Would this be a good buy? I can see myself getting some use out of this.
NiteWalker:
That's a pretty decent drill press for $100. It got a good review from a reliable source so I think it's a good deal. Sears usually has them set up so if you can go check one out at sears. I'd look into it if I didn't already have a beast of a drill press.
You'll never need to cut curves???
Go ahead. You know you want that bandsaw...
Seriously it's a killer deal and a great machine that has a lot of aftermarket features as standard, such as a poly v belt for better power transfer, a lower wheel brush to keep dust off of it, and roller guides. Very nice. :cheers:

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?

i haven't received mine yet...i ordered about ten days ago...i did get an email confirming shipment about three days ago...so it should be any day now i'd imagine...something tells me it will be postage due as well...
NiteWalker:
All the bit sets were shipped media mail. If it takes a while to arrive that's why. Normally things ship via 1st class or priority but since these were on closeout Brian (the owner) is just trying to not just give them away (although he's close...).

You're pure evil. >:D
Thanks for the opinion on the drill press. I'll probably end up getting both. I'm weak.
