Amazon Black Friday Deals

I'm sure we'll see more over the next week or so...

Thanks Martin for keeping us updated on these!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE and this is a great price.

HINT: It appears that, once you put a pair (or, in my case, two) in your cart, the deal disappears and you would have to pay $19/pair for another. So, better to put two or three in your cart, then remove a pair or two as that does NOT change the price of those you do order.

And, not to be forgotten:

And Home Depot has the Wen dp table: homedepot.com/ WEN-24-in-x-12-in-Drill-Press-Table DPA2412T/307430864

Ohh Dang here I go again!

I end up using that Milescraft push block a lot.

Those clamps are tempting....

...and here I am about to retire, wondering what to do over the winter....

 

[oldtexasdog]

Yep I was eyeing those clamps myself? That's like 5$ each. Also saw where HF has a Hercules planer normaly 400 for 350 and it seems to have very good reviews.

I can't get to the Bessey clamp deal from this posting. When I go directly to Amazon what comes up is the 4 clamp set with same SKU #, but the price is $38.93; I can't get to the Black Friday deal. Help.

@Wiley's Woodworks I'm not sure why you're having trouble, but this was the first result that showed for me: Bessy Clamp Set

HomeDepot has that Bessey clamp set on sale for $21.97, so almost the same: BESSEY Clutch Clamp Set (4-Piece) GSCC4PK-C - The Home Depot

I've already bought several of those sets. Maybe time for a couple more LOL.

What I could really use is more squeeze clamps. I have several Dewalt large and medium sets. Haven't been totally thrilled with the Dewalts, though, because some have either been DOA or don't operate smoothly. Looking to try a different brand if they're on sale.

That drill press table has found a home! Gotta LOVE Amazon!

Have a set - can't say I reach for them more than say the HF clamps I have in equivalent sizes. These have a coarser thread than the HF, but they lose the plastic 'protective; caps even faster than the HF ones do. I'd buy again, but likely at HD when I am there rather than an Amazon order.

I've resorted to double-sided tape for those. It helps for a while.

I would love to hear what you think about it. It’s on my wishlist for later

The Bosch ROS20 got my attention. Contemplating a better finishing RO that is lighter and more ergonomic to hold. I’ve run into the MaxXT on Amazon and it looks like an upgrade from the ROS20 and the 2.5mm orbit model should be equally good for finish sanding. I’m thinking the paddle switch and more elongated body will be better if wanting to hold two handed for steadier edge sanding. I’m kind of torn since both are on sale now but about $80 more for the MaxXT.

I'm a little torn on those maxxt sanders. They look like a clone of the 3ms, but there are/were a lot of reports of issues with them such as the motors burning out.

The Dewalts also want to pinch you when releasing - the release lever is not designed well.

Yup, torn as well since it looks like a good unit, with good features. My old P-C is a swirly pain that kills my elbow, it’s 35 yrs old so maybe bearings/counterweight have worn. I’m not a heavy user and it could go months without any usage, so I’m trying to be cost effective. I finally did a search for specific reviews on them. Some are saying it’s on a par or close with top tier units, a few find it their favorite, many appear to be British which is fine, other than being a European model, but one in the US did show a model overloading and stopping within a short period of use on what looked like some not very difficult sanding - they replaced it but out of box the replacement acted the same way - he was able to return it for a full refund but what if it was over a yr later? Probably stuck with it. Makes me wonder if it was a bad batch like delta’s table saw motor some yrs ago or is it indicative of the product line in general? It’s really hard to know. Also Bosch is generally known for good products but I’ve seen several reviews showing issues with the ROS20 with some doa or flaky speed control with one showing it only would turn on if it was set at 6, so this adds to the dilemma.

The ROS20 looks like the one i have. It works fine, but the dust collection is terrible in my opinion. Even when hooked up to a shopvac, it still leaves dust on the outside of the sander. I still use it, but am on the lookout for something better.
