I bought the 6” Starrett combo square from Rockler on sale. At the time it was oversold, expected in March. The date kept moving up. Yesterday was the most recent date- now today there is no date- just that it is oversold. Funny thing is they show one in stock locally! Just send me that one!!!! I’m just curious how many others are waiting.

Have you looked around to see if you can get it somewhere else?
I called Woodpeckers to cancel my parallel guides a couple years ago because they were doing this same sidestep.
A set miraculously appeared in stock ready to ship - just as I was telling them to cancel.

If you get tired of waiting, consider a PEC 6 inch combination square. I found a blem here. (https://www.harryepstein.com/products/pec-6-combination-4r-square-7121-4r)

My experience with PEC blem tools has been very good.

Might not be Rockler's sole problem, but could be that Starrett shipping is in turmoil since they were merged (sold) to Middleground Capital.
