I didn't want to hijack the "Sears Tablesaw" thread, so I thought I would start a new one. I am interested in buying a 3100, but since they are pretty much no longer available (I had HD check the district for any) I am looking at the Sears unit. Given that I am limited on garage space, I actually like the Sears version better. However, my dilemma is sort of reflected by the latest post in the other thread :
But what if you don't have time to wait for it to go on sale again? I have a project I need to work on this weekend, and I have to buy a saw by Thursday. I *just* missed the sale at the beginning of September and am dying because of it. According to their website, Sears has a 90-day satisfaction guarantee. So now I am thinking about going ahead and paying full price and hoping Sears runs another sale on it within the next 90 days, allowing me to get a price adjustment after the fact.
My other option is to go alot cheaper and get a BTS20, but after all of the reading I have done here, I would really like to stick with the 3100/clone.
Does anyone want to comment on whther it is a good gamble to hope that the Sears unit will go on sale again in the next couple of months?
TIA,
Rick
