Similar on other small orders.

They were the same way on the bandsaw G0555 14" bandsaw, but it was not on a
4-6 week backorder.

In any event, it was a welcome surprise.



I call that smart marketing. Create an expectation, then exceed it.

There was another bonus, as well. Since I was not going to receive it before Christmas, I got to order a replacement gift (Bessey
Tradesman Clamp Assortment). I even get to keep it, since it arrived on Monday (quick and free shipping from Amazon)
