I went to the HF sidewalk sale this morning. I got there about 10

sitting there. Both were already sold and waiting to be loaded. But
I got a raincheck.

I commented that HF didn't usually issue rainchecks for sidewalk
sales. I was informed in an exasperated tone (not directed at me)
that they did when @!#$ corporate only sent them 2 of a hot seller!

BTW, the sale ad shows list price as $199. The web site shows it as
$299. When I got my raincheck, the computer showed $299. Somebody
goofed :-).

The raincheck is good for 30 days. I'll see if they get any in in
that time.

Heh! I got mine on Friday afternoon. My local store still had a mound of
them, but one of the clerks said they were going fast.

I got the saw home and set up. Impressed I was; the sucker is built like a
tank!

I've got some more observations over in alt.home.repair, but there's one
additional:

Ok, you've got my interest right now. I dropped my beloved Makita LS1013
down a flight of basement stairs... need I say more.. over a year ago.

I need a Slider, was planning on another 10" had looked at the bosch but
too many have said it doesn't stay square when pushing it back in.

So, I was looking at the Festool.. I really can't afford this for my
hobby side. would rather take that money to the Sawstop.

So how good is this for $200????? How accurate?I really need something
to rough cut, but being accurate for the final of a big board would be
nice, rather than jury rigging my TS.
