At least I got an honorable mention (one of many HM!).
(unless your eyes are much better than mine, you need to click on the bar to view the full image, then scroll WAY down.)
Looks like a pretty good deal. List on them run at about $199.
Might be worth a look and make him an offer. He's asking $150.

Several people have asked me for details about the router table extension that I build for my Ryobi BT3100 to house my new $99 Freud router. :) (I mentioned it in my introduction post here: http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f15/greetings-chapel-hill-19490/) Yes, yes, I know -- stealth gloat...
This is what Brown delivered on Friday!
I just had to take advantage of Lowe’s $99 deal this was too good to pass up.:gar-Bi
As I was getting the fixed base ready to mount in my router table I made an unfortunate discovery. One of the holes in the metal casting was machined at the wrong...
I happened into Lowes on my way home from the shop this afternoon and found them clearing out the Austrian made Freud forestner bits. They were marked down 75-80% off. I got what would have been $193.38 of bits for just under $40 and a $10 off my next $50 purchase. (I know, no pics didn't...
Lowes.com has a dual base Freud router set on sale complete with case and router tips DVD. If you order by 12/22 shipping is free. Not a bad deal for $99

Lowe's has an online daily (Friday 12/12) special on a Freud 2 1/4 HP plunge router regularly $249 to 99.97 so you'll need to act fast. Freud routers generally get decent reviews but I do not own one so make no personal endorsement.:tool...
Ripped some 8/4 hard maple on my 1 3/4HP ProShop this evening. First time ripping hard maple, first time ripping 8/4 stock. Put on a 24T Freud ripping blade, pushed the wood through. It wasn't exactly like slicing butter...it was more like...Cheesecake...or maybe Apple Crisp...no Baked...
I am embarking on my first RP door build. I like the profile in this set -
Freud round edge rail/stile bit with the cove RP bit. #97-102
Plus I would like to profile the outer edges of the doors with this -
#99-065
I only have two smallish doors to make. Not being a big fan of...
I was walking through the lowes at 40/42 the other day to pick up some materials for the booth I'm building at my brothers (post to follow) and I came across they're last Freud router on clearance $100. It was the display model and did not have the 1/4" collet, or the wrench. After several...
I have this set, it makes terrific box joints on the table saw. Flat bottomed grooves, no splintering/ tear out. I also use it as a general purpose dado blade - not as versatile, but good enough for most tasks.

Go buy it...
I was in the Mebane Lowes just east of Burlington and they had the Freud F1702VCEK fixed/plunge base kit on clearance for $129. I don't know if all the stores are doing this or have this router but the Mebane store had 3 on the shelf
A few months ago I bought this blade and said in a post I was not real sure about it. I said I would follow up after using it until I was sure about its performance.
The more I have used the blade the better it has performed. Or could it be I have become more proficient in using the blade, ya...
I ran into a Freud sales rep the other day in Atlanta and asked about their sharpening suggestions for Charlotte. He said they have recently set up a shop at Wurth off of N. Graham and the guy was doing excellent work. I hope so.
Anybody used them yet?

Wanted to try this blade for a couple of reasons. First, the panel I am gluing is fairly large (long) and I thought it would be easier to do on the TS. Second, I am taking chunks out, even with new blades in the jointer and taking only a fuzz off each pass.
I would call my results mixed. Some...
I can remember when I bought my Uni in the mid 90's reading about how important it was to set the height of the blade just right. I soon forgot everything I had read. I now go by the rule "the less the blade shows above the wood the less there is to cut me".
I just orderd the Freud glue line...
