Yesterday I went into Lowes on Ramsey Street in Fayetteville to return a Milescraft router subbase and a few other pieces that I had bought for my DW621 that were going to be more trouble than worth. I decided to go check out Tool World's discount table, who knows what you might find. They had had the Jet JWTS-10JF (708301K) discounted for $499 for the last several weeks. Yesterday there were new developments in Tool World, the floor model was gone!
I asked Silas, the dept. manager what was going on, he had suddenly sold 3 of the available saws that morning! Shock and dismay hit, as he told me that he had discounted the saws that morning to $124.75! He checked his inventory quickly, and informed me that there was ONE more. I had 45 bucks in my pocket, no Lowe's card, and I don't remember the last time LOML let me even touch the bank card! Quick negotiations ensued. I gave Silas my business card, flew back to my office, and discovered that I could not reach my wife. :cry: I bank in Texas (USAA), so I could not make a quick trip to get cash. A friend, with whom I have been working for almost five years, came to my rescue, :eusa_danc and this morning I will be picking up this:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B00006WP0Z/ref=dp_primary-product-display_0/104-0209072-7293533?%5Fencoding=UTF8&n=228013&s=hi

Suppose I would be pushing it to get the $100 rebate advertised on Amazon?????

Oh man, if you get that saw for $25, that's soooo wrong. Even if you get it for $125, that's cheaper than the lowest low end craftsman tablesaw! Wow. That's a deal you only dream of getting. Grats

Wow, it sure sounds like somebody at Lowes made a mistake! Good luck with your new toy, and I hope you get that rebate!

Congrats on the saw. I read on another site that the Jet saws from Lowes were excluded on the rebate form, but I would try it if I could.

The saw came home tonight, after a looooong day at work, and will be assembled tomorrow. As I was waiting, somewhat impatiently, for somebody to find my steal and bring it out, I started checking out blades. What should I consider? I know that I like the blade in my Delta CMS (36-255 bought different Lowe's last year), but I don't expect the same from this one... Every review I have read mentioned that the Jet's didn't come with a blade, seems Lowe's negotiated to have one added.

any thoughts on blades? Charles the Freud guy???

IIRC, Lowes has a good combo deal with Freud crosscut and rip blades. I'd get those two, regardless. Some people recommend the WWII, but those blades are good, IMHO.

If you're just looking for a good combo blade, check out this one: inline. Same carbide, just more of it (ie, can get more sharpenings out of it), with ATB/Raker teeth. People can get pretty religious about the WWII, but there are good alternatives out there.


Again, with the deal like you got, you can afford to get BOTH combo blades and compare them for us!!! :mrgreen:
