    Rockler RED DOT Sale Incra LS-Positioner for Router

    My Rockler has the LS-Positioner on sale for $140. I'm not familiar with this tool but am in the market for a router fence - is this a good price?

    Looks like this:

    well, they (Rockler) has current coupon for 50% off any red tag item sale price so that means you can get it for $70.

    The price from Woodcraft or Woodpecker is around 149 for the 17" positioner, so with the coupon its a great price.

    I will warn that its the positioner part only, the fence parts will cost another $200 bucks... normally the positioner/fence is around $329

    I think this is the upgrade (positioner only):

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

      Loring - $140 is the reduced price. I'll have to go back but I'm pretty sure it's the positioner and fence - like shown in the WC link and the Rockler link here:

        Seems like a really good deal. I haven't used the Incra, but use the Jointech fence on my router table. I love the accuracy and repeatability. I don't use it to make dovetails too often though, but the flexibility is there when I want it (usually just use a DT jig for speed).

        When I bought the jointech, the big advantages were the dust collection (I have the collector connected to the underside of the table as well as the fence) and the metal lead screw instead of nylon (the part that enables the adjusting). I don't know how much of an issue the metal vs. nylon is; both are probably plenty durable.

        The 17" should be plenty for most uses.

          BE SURE to look in the Rockler Sale flyer. There is a coupon there for 50% off any RED DOT item! That is 50% off 50% off!
          Never met a bargain I didn't like.

            Yeah that's what I was talking about - to get it for $70.

              $140 is the 50% off deal. It's reg. price is $280 (for some reason it's $330 on-line at Rockler and Woodcraft). This is the jig on sale:

              $140 seems like a good deal to me.

                MIKE!
                The coupon in the Rockler flier says, ADDITIONAL 50% off any red dot item.

                If it's marked 50% off to $140 as a red dot item,

                what ever it's marked you can take another 50% off with the coupon! No Kidding!

                You need to find one of these coupons.

                  Loring - the red dot price is $280. With the 50% coupon it is $140 not $70.

                      Loring - this is almost getting comical.

                      O.K. I see the flyer says red dot items are already marked down 25-50% so this item should be at least $329.99*.75*.5 = $123.75 not $140.

                      If someone knows how to get a bigger discount on this let me know!

                        The Rockler flyer has a coupon for 50% off any red dot item. At my Rockler many red dot items show the regular price - i.e. they have not been marked down at all. In the case of the positioner the red dot price is $280. If you use the 50% off coupon it brings it down to $140 + tax out the door.

                        If someone knows how to get a bigger discount on this let me know!

                        Mike
                        Wasn't me this time! I figured out after your last post that the $140 price was what you figured with the 50% red-dot coupon and it must have been marked $280 or something.

                        Sorry.
