    Thanks!!! I passed on the Rockler deal because I didn't need all those clamps. This way I can just get 1 or 2 I need.

      Definitely a great deal. I would, however, only get the 24" and the 50". These, IMHO, are the two most desired sizes. You could obviously use the 50" for anything the 36" could do and the 50" is ideal for crosscutting 4 X 8 sheets. The 24" is especially handy for those pieces that are just too wide for you miter saw.

      Dont forget, Rockler is running a similiar promo for the "kit". A 12", 24", 36" and 50" for $79 + shipping.

      Personally, highlands deal of a 24" and a 50" for $34 ($41 shipped) is a better deal. YMMV

      Again, great find (considering I paid $62 for what you guys can now get for $34) .

        All 3 clamps are advertised as 'Clamping capacity is 24"'.

        Typo? How much can the 50" clamp?

        TIA.
        If you don't measure, you don't know.

          Any reason to get more than 1 of each length. I already have the 50 and am ordering the 24. Any reason to get another 50? If decided to order I figure I better order all now and save some shipping.

            As much as I'd Like an EZ system or festool, for my needs these should do the job nicely.

              Definite Typo. See post # 3 for 50" capacity.

                None that I can think of. I've never needed a second one of the same size.

                  Now if only the 99" would go on sale. Not holding my breath though.

                    Was thinking the same thing, but for those rare instances I need it, in my case just will just use a straight 2x4 or board with a jointed edge and clamps.

                      Thanks for the heads up! Ordered the 24" for 19.98 shipped. Already have the 50". Ditto on waiting for the 99's to go on sale. Amazon's an ok deal, but I keep having the image of what it would look like by the time it got here!!

                        I got a 99" from Amazon, and it showed up without any issues whatsoever.

                        Then again, I once was returning from lunch to see the UPS guy toss 10 Toshiba boxes from the back of his truck onto the pavement. A few minutes later, I noticed he was delivering our new Toshiba projectors.

                        I guess with UPS, YMMV takes on another dimension entirely.

                          Ditto. I too was suprised.

                            How well does the 99" work for you in ripping a full sheet? Man...having a tough time justifying the $90-$110 they're going for. Just picked up the 12, 24 and 50".

                            Also - noticed that Rockler is no longer carrying the combo sets that were talked about in several recent posts, nor anything over 50".??

                              I bought a set that was 24, 36, 50 and 90" with the router and circular saw guide plates. Honestly, they are the most prized set of tools in my $10,000 shop.
