I guess I didn't know why Lowe's was closing out Delta tools until a earlier
today. The local store was moving a couple of JET table saws into the slots
previously occupied by Delta's.

Funny! A few years ago, they cleared out all their Jet tools to make room
for Delta.

Whoever gives them the best deal at the end of the contract, I guess.

Well, if Delta & Porter Cable are going to be owned by DeWalt and Black &
Decker, then perhaps it makes good business sense for Lowe's to have some
diversity in their supplier community.

Too many eggs in one basket, etc.

As long as they keep closing out and offering discounted prices, I'm happy!!
I picked up the Delta 12" Drill Press on closeout sale for $139.00 (regular
price $199). What a pleasure to have a good tool versus the off brand 7"
cheapie that I had!!

Hellluva buy. I paid full price for mine a few years back. Does a good
job and you're going to enjoy it. I made a simple fence for mine, but one of
these days I'll get around to making a full table for it.

There's an ugly sink cutout C-clamped to mine. It was supposed to be
temporary. It's been there since last December. As long as nobody's
taking pictures for global publication, it may stay there for a while.

I heard that Black & Decker is buying out Delta and Porter Cable.
Perhaps this will mean their resellers will change stock mix.
