Hello Roger,
That is a real gloat, but it begs these questions; Why would they
mark it down so low? Are they closing out Delta products? Did they
have more in stock? (No, I don't need another fence, but this sounds
like a great deal for others)

I'd say so. I recently sold a 7 year old one for $175.00.

When I asked the guy there, he said they are no longer carrying them. It was
the last one in my area Jacksonville, NC. When he brought it down, it was
still nice and tight in the box. I got it home and opened it. It was
complete and with no scratches. Now to find time to install it. And what to
mis measure and make straight?

It does for me, but some in this group will disparage it. :-)

Very common practice for the big box stores.
Allows them to very tightly define when they were selling an item and
thus control warranty costs.
Kind of like some contractors I remember who would declare bankruptcy
on a regular basis only to open up the next day under a different name.
