Default Surprising Review - Chinese Delta 14" Bandsaw 28-206/276

For a real giggle, check out the bottom of that page, and the pricing
on the "Wavetek Clamp-on Amp Meter"


The Delta 28-274C 14" bandsaw is listed near the bottom of the right-hand
colum. at C $549. About US$400. Plus shipping. plus customs/clearance
hassles. Between the two, it easily adds another $US100-150 to the cost.

US$500-550 "to the door, in a week or two", even if it saves a couple hours
of 'fiddling', DOESN'T seem like much of a bargain, compared to the US $310
'take it home *today*' price that the original poster reported.

US$100/hr is _good_ pay for doing that 'fiddling'.

Were are the friggin prices on the Rideout site? I went to the site,

found
a 14" (35cm?) King bandsaw
(http://www.rideouttool.com/products.asp?id=206&s=), but can't find the
price of it. If you're familiar with the company/site, could you help me
out in cracking the code?

Hmmm I don't think so and why are you now only giving the model number
Hmmmm me thinks you didn't bother to check the prices in Canada
BTW King and Delta are the same company.With the exchange rate it's

roughly
450 USD's without the tweaking and fu#king around.see the URL
http://www.rideouttool.com/
That's just one place and it is more expensive where i live.
You still could have had it bought and shipped for less.Before I go back

on
the porch, kiss my pink ass.

news Dan Parrell thus spake:

you could have bought a delta or king in canada for that price

Hmmm... I think not - besides I live 1800 miles south of Canada...
A Delta X-5 starts at $900 US here.

Now, go back to the porch with your pink apron, please... ;-)
