    Is this a good or great bargin

    A Freud LM72R010 for $24.97? It is a clearance item at Sears, will it go any lower? I know they have a pricing scheme, I heard if it ended in a 3 they were done, i.e. 27.93. Is that true.
    I am in shape. Round is a shape!

    That's an excellent price the way it is. I not sure if I would wait around and gamble on it both going further down in price AND any being left on the shelf when you finally decide to pull the trigger on it.

      It is 59.99 on amazon so I would say it is a real good price.
      I don't think it is a thin-kerf though so be careful, depending on what saw you are using it for.
      I tried a full kerf on my BT3100 and it boged down too much as compared to a thin-kerf.

        That is a very good price. It's a full kerf I think.

          I found one of these blades in the Clearance section of the Albany, Oregon Sears - it was marked down to $18.00. Needless to say, I snagged it! I peeled off the clearance sticker when I got home, and the previous price was $38.47.

          In any case, I used the blade for the first time today; to rip a variety of stock for a project; one piece was some kind of hard Oak. Worked great! The blade is worth $24.97 for sure!

            I got a couple for $18, too (in Austin, TX). So if nobody buys it at $25, it's likely to go down some, but like sweensdv said, it probably won't be there when you come back for it. It's a great blade at $25.

            You could also talk to the tool department manager and see if he'll split the difference with you. Offer him $20 and see if he'll cut you a deal.

              I just looked at it on Sears online and it's $59.99. It redirects to the Rockler website, though. I'll stop in my local Sears on the way home.
