    New Craftsman 22124 for $800?

    Here's the body of a post on another forum about the 22124 being on sale:

    "Sears has the enclosed stand, with Biesemeyer fence on sale for $899. Sears also sent out some 10% off coupons this week that are good thru weekend. Have to use Sears Charge Card to get the 10% off. Combined this brings the price to alittle over $800 - Merry Christmas. "

          I did the same and agree with you...doubt that'll happen again. The going sale prices have been more like $855...

                  No argument that the 1023 is a great saw, has more power and is heavier duty than a 22124, but it doesn't really fill the same niche. The 22214 is aimed squarely at the home shop. The 1023 needs 220v whereas the 22124 will run on either 110 or 220. The 1023 needs a blade whereas the 22124 comes with an excellent Leitz 40T general purpose blade, and the 1023 needs a motor cover to get good DC. The SF fence is excellent, but I'd give the nod to the Biese any day...the UHMW plastic faces on the SF can get a little wavy and need shimming or planing. Also, the 22124 has a 44" wide CI surface which is nearly 8" wider, and according to the Griz website info, actually outweighs the basic 1023 by ~ 65#. Pros and cons to both saws....and about $200 difference comparably equipped with both at sale prices.

                      All valid points and I really like the 22124. I like a local store instead of mail order (though Grizz is about an hour away from me) so I can see that advantage as well. I really like the 22124 and your weight point I did not catch before.

                          just an FYI - I don't know if this is national or not, but there's a "Sears Essentials" (previously a Kmart) in Tustin CA that has the 22124 for $300 off (from $999 to $699).

                              I think I got mine for ~850 with 5 year warrenty. I love it. It covers everything except the blade so if the kids ever knocked the handle off the fence it would be replaced. I doubt they could ever do anything worse than that but who knows.

                                  Just an update... Happened to stop by the Sears Essentials in Tustin again today, and there's a "used" 22124 for <$450 (? I can't remember the exact price - and my phone camera picture's too fuzzy to read), and there's a "floor model" 22114 for $340.

                                      The fence is worth $340. I need to see if there are any of those stores around here. There is Sears Outlet in Chambersburg area, but it deals only in appliances.
