Where is the best deal for a Delta Mortiser?

I would like to purchase a Delta 14-651 mortiser. Is the $219.99 price from
amazon the best deal? Is there any angles I can use to find it any cheaper?
Let's face it, I am cheap, and I hate to get beat on price. I have watched the
price come down to 219.00, but maybe if I wait there will be a Christmas
sale?????????? I don't need it for a specific project, but I would hate to
see the price go up and miss out on a deal.

Go ahead and flame me!

That's probably as good as you'll find. It's a good machine and mine gets
constant use. Check out Lee Valley for the cone shaped sharpeners used in a
drill press for keeping the chisels sharp. With sharp chisels, it will do
anything you want it to do for 1/3rd the price of the Multico.

Than pass on this piece of Chinese crap and buy a Multico.

Dang... you sound more like a "tool collector" than a "tool user". If you
need the tool, buy it at the best price at the time. If you continue to
wait, you have several years to go. I bought my Delta about 6 years ago and
paid $249.00+ shipping. If you really intend to use the tool, the extra $10
or $15 that you pay because you did not absolutely explore every conceivable
avenue should not factor in. If I were you I would consider the time it
will save you vs. the extra $10 or $15 it will save you to wait.

Bought a really decent Central Machinery at Harbor Freight for $100.
Does all and more than I want it to do.

For just $249.95 you can get a Shop Fox from Grizzley.

BTW, I'm cheap too. I buy a lot of stuff on ebay. Sometimes new stuff.

Have fun.
