The Quandry
I recently discovered and eventually found here than many of you have taken advantage of the deal at Timeberline on the Detla X5 Unisaw. I was wondering how and/or why Timeberline is able to do this when everyone else is selling at least $200+ more?? I know Timberline isn't offering the free mobile base (that I have seen on other sites), the rebate/free tool offer is valid, and most everyone is offering free shipping. Is the price difference due to the mobile base, or is there something I'm not catching??
Why do I ask?????
I am trying to convince myself to justify the conversation with SWMBO and going back on my word about purchasing new tools before my shop is even complete (I'm just starting to finish the basement walls and not even close to having the electrical run yet). But at this price and free shipping, well ya know :rolleyes:
The Aftermath, IF the conversation takes place AND is successful :confused:
1) I'll have the saw I've been drooling over for at least a year at a price I've never seen it at :)
2) I don't have the electrical in the shop, so it will be a paper weight for a while :rolleyes: But I'll have the saw I've been drooling over for at least a year :)
3) The shop funds will be extremely limited (probably until the saw is paid off) for the near future, so the transformation progress will be at a stand still :( But I'll have the saw I've been drooling over for at least a year :)
4) I'll have an example for the electrician of the type of equipment that will eventually be throughout the empty space that is currently my shop :) and I'll have the saw I've been drooling over for at least a year :)
What would you do, your opinions are appreciated :p
