Good, cause I did use all of these for a reason

Just givin the head honcho a jab. All in jest.

So 3 hp, left tilt, mobile base... for $854 is at least as good a deal--isn't it?--as many of us got with + Router lift, - Mobile Base.

Equiping "our" saw w/ mobile base is extra $95 (on sale w/ delta base) = $1171

This saw is in effect $317 less expensive and gives up the router lift, which may be worth around that much--so breakeven--or better as it is LEFT TILT which folks seem to value higher.

(Hmmmmm... should I change my order?! No I won't because I will never separately cough up that much money for a real router lift... keeping what I ordered is the only way I'd get one! )

So, if you missed the first go-around seems like you should scoop this one up!

This looks like a better deal than previous one on the 50" fence, especially if you were looking for a left tilt saw. If you really want a router lift, you can buy the same one that came with the other deal for $210, and you come out at the same price with the free mobile base. If the mobile base isn't any good as some of the reviews point out, you won't be any worse off than the other deal, and you could probably use that base for a lighter tool.

Just thought Id mention that I got 20% off on 2 different Jet JTAS saws.
I asked if I could have 20% off using the may code, and they gave it to me.
Since they gave it to me on one, I asked for them to match the discount on the 2nd purchase.
It took several days to get the credit as I do everything thru email, and most times I dont get any answer till I email 2 to 3 times.
Most of the time I get shot down when I call them for something like this.

Its probably very much a YMMV deal, but I suppose it cant hurt to ask for the 20% off on your JTAS orders.

What was the code to mention? Worth a shot.

I got the same response, but the only item that qualified was the blade, so they refunded me $12.00. Is that what you guys were refunded?
