Amazing deals at Home Depot starting Tues

[herb fellows]

Went to 3 hd's, third ones a charm. They had the dw and ridgid 4 piece kits, but no sale on either one.
I had CS check the computer and they showed the DW at $379 and the Ridgid kit at $249.
Individually, the circ saw and the drill go for $199 each at HD, so this kit is a smokin' buy at $199, if you can get it.

In case anyone doesn't know, you can go to CS and have them check other stores for inventory so you don't have to go to each one.

I assume that the CS computer is going to show the same price as the register? Anyone know anything different?

Go back early tomorrow morning, I heard that some stores would not have this in their system till tomorrow or possibly later.

Thanks, Tommy.

Call Around...Different Stores, Different Sale Time

Hey Herb, I had the same outcome you did...full price at the store, no-way it could be on sale (other than the 6 piece kit), the CS person checked multiple stores, several states.....then..

........I got home and called another store 9 miles from first...the sale was on. Random! (and Herb, thanks for listing the deals you found in the past..)

TOMMY - I keep hoping to find your deal on the bandsaw or drill press....maybe the prices will fall in our area. Would love the TS but too heavy for my car and house! (1700's house with old tree trunks for joists...but shakes like a bowl of jello!)

[tommyt654]

I love old house,s like that reminds me of when I was a kid in Asheville. The whole house would shake as we ran through it. Good luck hunting the elusive Lowes deals. Now if I can just get out of this D**N apt and back into a house to start building furniture again.

For all you new 4511 owners, there's a pretty good assembly write up on Lumberjocks, and a lot of good comments also.

One HD store manager hereabouts told me there was nothing going on, but the manager in another location told me just this morning that Thursday was "the day" in his store, and while not offering any details, he added with a wink that I'd be wise to "get here early"...

got the granite

My closest HD (Lakeland, FL) has the sale. Grabbed the granite top for $299. A forklift, 2 workers and myself put it in the minivan. 450lbs. No idea how I'll get it out!

I saw some of the other stuff too, but didnt have time to look.

450lbs. No idea how I'll get it out!

Step 1: Open mini door
Step 2: Place vehicle in reverse
Step 3: Push accelerator to floor
Step 4: When approaching garage, release accelerator and push brake pedal to floor
Step 5: Clean up mess
Step 6: Enjoy your new saw.

Dave, the one problem I see is with steps 4 & 5. How far will the saw fly before it hits the ground and stops? I'd hate to see it go through the back wall of a garage.

I'm still not sure of a granite countertop being used on a tool, although I understand the reasoning, but $299 for a saw and fence of that quality is amazing. If I had the money and didn't already have my Delta with the Bies, I'd be down at my local HD with the pickup...no stinkin' minivan is gonna be graced by the presence of my tools, unless SWMBO says so.

No idea how I'll get it out!

When I have to unload heavy items solo, I simply open the box in the back of the truck and take it out a piece at a time. Takes more time, but my back and toes don't mind - and I'd hate to drop something like granite on my driveway...

This is how I do it too. Unless I have some friends close.

Thanks to the posters of this deal, I snagged the Rigid table saw and the milwaukee SCMS this morning at two different stores, but they are going fast of course. Good luck & keep hunting.

Thanks for the post, I am going to pick up my r4511 saw.
I hope it was a good decision since I really like my BT3. It has served me well and I am not sure why I need another saw, except for the bigger table and powerful motor.
But my BT3 is in mint condition so I should be able to get at least $100-$150 for it and all the accessories.

If you have the room, keep the BT and set it up as a dedicated dado saw (many darksiders have done this). You'll be surprised how often you use a dado setup if you've got one standing by, already set to your favorite thickness of plywood or dimensional lumber...
