Hitachi Bandsaw CB13F @ Lowes

[Wood_workur]

Just got mine. Was the display model, paid $124. Its missing the allen wrench, and the manuel is destroyed, but the blade wasn't under any tension when I was there, so it's gotta be in somewhat good shape.

I hope to put mine together this weekend. Glad to here someone else received a good deal.

you forgot yo post the rest of your credit card numbers with the reciept---just kidding
Got mine together today and was impressed so far.

I like it so far, but I have to complain about the trunion. You will need to buy new washers and grind them to fit, as the stock ones are too small. Thanks for posting the recipt.

looks like a nice saw, but can you put a spacer on it for resawing or is 5" the max?

Stan, a member of this forum, has a forum dedicated for the CB13F. Here's a link with his instructions for a Ridgid Riser Block kit adaptation for the CB13F.

Craftsman micro torque wrench $26 off. Now $48. 9/16 to 9/18

I would consider something else.
These do not have lifetime warranty, Husky@HD,and HF ones do. I have both and the Husky is better in 1/2" drive size due to 250

Any chance you can repost the copy of this receipt? I think the image must have got lost during the cutover. I live near the Lowes in Langhorne, PA and was hoping to check this out. Thanks for any help you can give...

Jim,
Let me know if you have any luck in Laghorne. It might be worth the trip for me if they have any left.

Joe,

I called the Langhorne store and they said they show none in stock. They showed one in Bensalem but when I called that store, they said they couldn't even find a floor model. Their computer showed some inventory in a couple of Philadelphia locations but I kind of tuned out at that point. That's a little too far for me to travel especially when there's a slim chance that a model would actually be there when I arrived...

I just left the NE phila store. The computer shows 2 in stock, but they only could find the floor model, which is marked clearance $199. They couldn't find the other one in a box.

They sold one in a box last night to an ethnic fellow who said he needed it to cut up chickens, and wanted to know if that would affect the warrantee!

They seemed to think that the one they sold last night must be the one that the inventory says they have.

They checked the computer for the other Phila area locations, and none showed more than one which would point to a floor model.

The floor model at the NE phila store had no blade. It did have the manual. I had a copy of the reduced invoice from this site. But if figured if I could convince them to reduce the price to $120, they would have me take it 'as-is' without the blade and without who knows what else, and it would always bother me that if I had gotten there 18 hours earleir, I could have had a sealed one.

And I wasn't convinced that a 12" model, that has no real riser potential, is what I really wanted anyway. SO I passed on it, so it's there if you want it.

And if you can find the one in a box hiding somewhere there, then props' to you!

Well, obviously, the above post isn't right and I did not post it. lol

I just wanted to let you know that I printed out the receipt that was posted on this thread, drove to Lowes and bought this BS...no questions asked. And, I wanted to say thanks to the person that posted it up. I like saving $80.00 wherever I can. By the way, this Lowes has 5 in stock if you live near me. I'll even go to Lowes with you and show you where they are stacked up on the rack. Too cool.

Way to go!

Just think of all the thousands of dollars we are saving each other....
