Thanks for the heads up. I just went to their web site and the overarm guard w/dust collection is still listed at $199.99. :confused: Is this item going on sale in the near future and you got the inside track?

Mike,
They have kinda hidden it - click on the "email" in the upper right hand corner of the home page. Then the summer super sale - it is the third item down.

Thanks guys. I found it and got it on order. Even used the DVD10 coupon code PSI sent me a while back and got another $10 off. :D I have been needing an overarm blade guard but did not really want to spend the $$$ for the excalibur. I think this one will work out nicely as it will mount to the ceiling, since I have a table extension with router lift on my JTAS 10XL.

I was planning on making my own guard welded from tubular steel. At this price this seems a great deal. Is there anyone out there that can testify for the PSI? Is it worth it? Any draw backs/short comings?

Thanks,

Mike S. and Mike L.,

Thanks for the heads-up on the sale and reminding me about the coupon. I have been meaning to build one as well, but hadn't purchased the materials yet. For the price - I'll let them build it. ;) The only downside is they charge sales tax to us here in PA - oh well. The guard looks like the units I'm used to at my old place of employment. If it works as well as they did, I'll be a happy (and safer) camper.

Thanks again, Wes
