I thought this might fall into the TGTBT category ( Too good....) However,
the jointer is not on the list.

I forgot about the rebate. I purchased a Delta 2 speed planer and applied
(have not received) for a refund. Love the planer. NO SNIPE and minimal
tear out on Maple.

Thanks for the reminder.

Happy Holidays to all.

Off IL to W. Val on Christmas day to see our twin sons. I'm building quite
a collection of tools for them to fight over in 25 years. They are giving
me a Jet 14" bandsaw. I wonder how they will split that.

I'm donating many of my old (replaced) tools to the maintenance department
at a not-for-profit organization that provides services (including housing)
for about 150 developmentally disabled adults. The maintenance staff is
from Russia and they are used to dealing with hand-me-downs.

I'm usually just a lurker, but thought I'd add to the post about Lowe's
that
there is also a rebate available on certain delta tools in $20,$30 and $50
amounts. This is in addition to the 20% off available this weekend.

Thanks guys for the tip about the 20% off at Lowe's. We didn't have a
Lowe's in the area (Lincolnwood, IL) until they opened YESTERDAY!

I've had my eyes on buying a jointer for a few months and was motivated
by
the discussions in the newsgroup. Hearing about the 20% off, I went to
the
new Lowe's and asked where I could find the Ryobi Jointer. The man very
politely told me they don't sell Ryobi, but have Delta.

I was expecting to find the Ryobi for $399 less 20%. What they had was
a
Delta JT360 6" with a floor stand for $349 less 20% = $279.20. Guess
who
has a 300# monster in his truck right now?

I'd like to hear if anyone has anything bad to say about this before I
unload and assemble. It seems too good to be true. I see this same
unit
listed on Amazon and other sites for $449.99.

Did Christmas come early?

Thanks to all for the good advice over the year. I really enjoy this
newsgroup and it has been a definite help in improving my knowledge,
skills
and good places for buying more toys.
