I just wanted to thank those who started and replied to the recent threads
about Lowes clearing out Delta products. I finally got a chance to go there
today. I picked up a cast iron belt/disc sander for $60 and a little dust
collector for $90. I'm going to use the dust collector to vent welding
fumes.
The planers were all sold out. This is a good thing because I already have
a Ridgid and may not have been able to resist getting another one.
Some of the 6" and 8" grinders were on sale. The sharpening tool was $20.
They had just put the Wilton vises on the clearance table. They're
switching to a Kobalt branded line of vises. I asked how much the Wiltons
were--the guy said they would take $30 off the normal price. Still too much
for me. I'll have to go back next week and see if that giant 8" vise is any
cheaper.

I tried to buy one of the $20 sharpeners a couple of days ago but they
were all out. They wouldn't sell me the display unit because they said
4 more were on order and it wasn't a "no longer carry" (or something
similar) item. So they're clearancing things at half price and
ordering more. Seems strange to me but maybe they're just clearing out
the warehouses. Also had my eye on a bandsaw and a scrollsaw. Dang, I
love/hate these closeouts.
