LOL...+1!.. My family...and toy collection will be getting bigger in May/June... I don't know why I have a security system...A Cirque du Soleil-NINJA couldn't make it to my TV without breaking an ankle, or setting some battery noise maker off...

Is Zoro not offering a 30% off anymore?

Looks like Zoro has a 25% off, for over $150. I've been waiting for a 30% for a long time. Is it me, or are they not having the 30% sales as much...or any more for that matter?

For a block column with #5 rebar, 8' high, would a core fill mix be needed or could wet (more water to increase slope..)?

Ryan, Nice post, I'm a woodworker, started with my grandfather, slacked off in HS and college, probably just consider myself an expert level in the last 10 yrs, with double dovetails, etc... It's GREAT to see the craft receive some love! Glad to see the the Samurai get time to woodwork with...

Diff from the dws780 is: Cut depth, cut length, adjustments, fence, n "laser" LED light. The saw last season special sale was more like thedws780, n was the dws782.. HD's (and only HD) has a dws779, different blade n no light, though the housing has the light mount inset, n you can make it...

Anyone come across any clearance price changes this weekend? Waiting on their next price drop.

Be careful n check it out to make sure you like it. There's a lot of differences between it and the dws780/779!

Ok, I was planning on using my receipt to return to the clearance store, just didn't know if it was common to get resistance from customer service. Thanks..

For the GJer's that have bought and returned @ another store to rebuy at a lower price. Any tips or tricks for doing this? The item is clearance at the store I'm wanting to return it to, to buy back at a lower price..not for sure if it will be an issue.

Makita link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0028Y4Q2O/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Looks like it will cut the largest std. crown, n base molding..

Now I'm adding the Makita 1016l to the list of, what miter saw to get.... It will cut ~6.5" crown n ~4.5" vertical.... Anyone have any info on this or the 12" Makita? I'm not for sure about the four bar linkage.. I have a Hitachi 12" slider, great saw, but I keep it in my shop, and this ones...

Finky, thanks for the info.... I've needed to cut 4x4's, but the only time I've used 6x6 for post, I've waited till they were in ground & the structure was built, n just cut the top off with a sawzall. I was thinking about using the 10% on which ever saw I get, just not sure if I"d ever use the...

Thanks StonesFan, CPO offers some good deals when they give % combined with refeb prices. I'm looking at in-store prices of $259-279 for the smaller cut 709 saw...Which is hard to beat for most online places.

So I've been needing to replace my Craftsman 10" "travel" miter saw for awhile. I've been eyeing the Dewalt dws709 Seasonal "special" @~$259-279. Then a new Dewalt dws779 showed up in stores, which looks like the dws780 minus the lazer (from my understanding it workers off of the blade, n...
