Wow! Thanks for the post Jeremy!!! There's only one left. The other one is in my garage now. :eusa_danc
In case anyone else is interested, it's a Bieseleyer T-Square Commercial Fence System (BC30) with 30" rails and 14"x27" table and legs. Regular price at Lowes was $400. On clearance for $200.
I spoke with the guy at Lowes and he said they got them in about a year ago but had no where to display them. So they sat on the top shelf of some rack in the back of the store all that time. They needed the shelf space and decided to clearance these this morning.
It sounds like the sale price will be specific to this one store. I didn't even bother checking anywhere else. I drove past two Lowes to get to this one. I got there after lunch and they still had 2 left.
The REALLY good news is that a few hours earlier, I posted this post requesting opinions on a new fence for my Jet contractor saw. The decision has been made now. :eusa_clap

10 hours (and $200) after reading Jeremy's post the Biesemeyer is installed and ready for its first cut. :eusa_clap Instead of installing the stock extension table, I installed the router table extension that I'm currently building.
For those interested in the gory details:
There are 8 bolts total (4 front and 4 rear) holding on the two rails. The 4 holes (2 front and 2 rear) that mount to the permanent top of the saw lined up perfectly. I had to drill four new holes in the cast iron wings, though. I decided to drill and tap the new holes instead of using washers and nuts.
The trickiest part was figuring out what to do with the power switch. The switch mount is specifically designed to line up with the mounting bolt through the extension wing for the front rail. Since the new rail didn't have a hole that lined up there, I was unable to install the mount the same way as before. :eusa_thin I decided to drill and tap a hole in the new rail that matched up with the original hole in the ext. wing. Then I bolted the power switch through the cast iron wing and into the steel rail. I used a 3/4" long 1/4x20 bolt, washer and lock washer - it all fit perfectly.
I've aligned the fence with the miter slots and adjusted the lock tension so it's a real strong hold. Now it all needs a good polish and I'll be ready to make sawdust. :eusa_danc

Great score and a fine install there, JC!!!:eusa_danc :eusa_clap :eusa_danc :eusa_clap :eusa_danc :eusa_clap
You will really like that new fence, I am sure. (I have the same fence on my zipcode saw and it is really great!)
Now you will be in great shape to rip down some of that red oak from Nick. It should be getting to be dry enough soon!
Congrats on the SCORE!

I was in the market for a new table saw for a while,was about ready to buy in the next week.
Was in the Lowes in Mebane this morning for paint,and remembered this thread and walked over to the tools to look for this phantom clearance fence.And sure enough there was a picture of it with a clearance price of $200 and one ticket left for the item.
I considered what my 15 year old craftsman will look like with that fence...and the image of a Rolls Royce grill on a 65 Beetle came to mind.So I grabbed the ticket and got it.The fence was the biggest issue with me wanting to upgrade my old saw anyway.Of course,at the check out, no one new what/where it was.No lie,it took an hour to locate it,and then find a lift and someone liscenced to operate it,and to retrieve it from the top of the risers half way across the store.
But I did get it for $200 so I won't make an issue of that.
What a great find!thanks Jeremy,I never would have looked in the first place.
It will sit in the box for a while,if you recall I said I was there for paint.Got to get a room ready for a new little one in a month.So here's all the proof I got.
