Bench Dog Acc, Clearance at Lowes

[tommyt654]

I have not been able to verify this but while looking at another woodworking website I saw someone has stated that Lowes in certain areas were clearancing the Bench Dog accessories out at 50% off, I,ll be checking my Lowes in a little while to see if it applys to my Lowes here in Ga. Just thought I,d pass along to members here if interested.

Lowes in my area clearanced Bench Dog item out last winter. I picked up a couple of item then. Their trim-lock tools are great for making quick work out of installing window trim & setting the reveal. They are also handy for helping to get good measurements on the mitered trim.

Confirmed, Heres, the evidence

Thanks for the heads up!!

And just to beat someone to the punch,Yes we know they can be made out of wood, but IMO these are better and made of high density plastic that will last longer and are arguably more useful on a machine to machine basis.

The crown cut Jig is excellent!!
I paid $40 a few years ago and used it 3-4 dozen times and it worked perfect

I was at my local lowes today and the crown jig was 50% off but the feather board which is what I wanted was still full price $25

now gone in Frederick

Thanks for the alert -- I think I bought the last 50% off trim lock and miter gauge in Frederick Maryland last night. There was still a feather board left.

I've made a couple of very good wooden feather boards with my BT3000 and the precise blade adjuster by moving the fence in 3/16 increments.

Lowes Clearance Items

I checked my local Lowes in Springfield, TN and they have the Crown Jig, Push-Loc, Trim-Loc, and Feather Board at 50% off. They also have two Milescraft items on 50% clearance: the router Circle/Edge guide @ $14.98 and the router offset base @ $9.98. I think I may go back today and get a feather board. I already have the Push-Loc.

I noticed that Bench Dog now has their version of a bench cookie, except they are orange instead of Rockler's blue. They are the same price @ $11.98 for 4.

FYI, Rockler OWNS Bench Dog. My understanding is it was purchased to compete with Woodcraft/Pinnacle/Woodpecker.

Scored four need only 2

Willing to sell the at cost plus tax and shipping (USPS $10), at least some savings for those that can't get one. Just looked at USPS site maybe able to send for $5

found 2 at my local lowes, they didnt yet have the clearance price.
They didnt have knobs or miter bar so the manager said he would sell them, as is, for $15 each, else he'd return them to supplier for "full credit"

I bought the PAIR sold at amazon without the miter bar, for $14.77 on sale better than a year ago.
I often wonder how brick and motar anything can stay in business these days.

But I have to consider whom im dealing with at the retail store, they will soon find out they can't be returned for any credit, slap a clearance sticker on them and someone else will get a good deal .. whadaya gunna do.

Read the post above yours and buy aimlesssouls.

Well reading my post, part of my point was that even at a 50% discount I dont see the value.

The pair are still sold at amazon for at regular price of $22, can qualify for free shipping and no tax, thats $11 each, better than any deal mentioned.

(As long as you are not interested in the miter slot expansion bar that is)

[tommyt654]

Well go buy them if you think its a better deal and post us your bill when all,s said and done please, I,m willing to bet it won,t be the great deal your claiming. As you said "can qualify for free shipping", not qualifies for free shipping, The devil is in the details.
