Craftsman catalog missing BT clone?

[pelligrini]

I was checking out the latest craftsman catalog that came in the mail today and I didn't see the 21829 in there. It's still listed on the sears website.

Is Sears discontinuing the BT clone, the 21829? There are a bunch of table saws on the sears website that aren't in the catalog though.

I didn't know Sears still had a catalog. Why bother? Cost too much to print and deliver...

The one I got in the mail was the Craftsman Tool catalog, almost 200 pages. It probably came to me through my Craftsman Club membership.

I don't know if you can place a lot of truth of a product's availability by what is shown in the tool catalog. Products have grown to such a number that I imagine some either get overlooked, or it's a matter of promoting only the most recently acquired products. Remember, the "catalog" part of Sears is different than the retail stores, with some products being "catalog only" and perhaps even some "in-store" products not listed in the catalog.

For example, the 14-inch band saw was not in last year's catalog and yet it's still available in the store... at least the last time I looked.
