Amazon has had other price glitches on their web site. Not long ago they
offered the Porter Cable 31/4 HP Router under cost by mistake and PC backed
them on it. I'd order one if I were you and see if they live up to the
offer. Its at least 3 or 4 hundred under cost.

Ops, when I went to Amazon and clicked 'Add to Cart' all the sudden the item
popped up at $1999.95. I guess us poor old woodworkers are just going to
have to wait for the deal of the century on the 22-44.

You can get that for $379 but it isn't a drum sander, it is a surface
sander that attaches to a radial arm saw.

The 22-44 for $379 is a drum sander ATTACHMENT KIT that goes on a radial arm saw...

The 22-44 sander I see listed in the link below is NOT a standalone sander,
but rather is designed to be attached to a radial arm saw (obviously not
included). It is still $379 on Amazon.

Oops, I guess I almost blew it!
Let say, if I buy this surface sander attachment (I presume comes with the belt
feeder) and if I can improvise an attachment to an electrical motor blah,
blah.... Isn't that still worth the CHEAP $379, or I could buy a CHEAP used
radial arm saw to attach it?

Anyone here bought one?

I checked into doing this too. The feeder is NOT included. I believe
it is priced around the same as the attachment. I didn't see enough
savings to be worth the trouble. If you go for it let us know the
outcome.

Look it up at Amazon, the feed table is not included. It is another $379.
