About 4 months ago, I was lucky enough to pick up the Delta 12" saw at Home Depot for less than $100. Apparently, Home Depot is no longer carrying the 12" model. Don't know if Delta discontinued the model. The last time I looked, the Tool Crib of the North catalog still listed the saw for $325. Maybe there are a few floating around Home Depot. The same week, I picked up a Delta air cleaner from Lowes for $69. It was also a closeout. Didn't need it, but in January I picked up a Bosch router on closeout from Lowes for $75. I can't pass up a deal on tools. If you are willing to dig, there are a few deals out there. I've also had good luck with remanufactured tools. Prior to buying the Delta saw, I was considering the Dewalt saws. Amazon and Harbor Freight usually have some remanufactured Dewalt saws.
