Ok, the clamps thing is a sickness but 4 for $55 is just too good to pass up.

Thanks Larry

[Al Willits]

I hate this forum....just when I thought I had a few extra bucks to buy some golf balls, you do this to me....arggggg!!!

I do need four of them though...right??? :D

Al who wondering if he can get payroll deduction for this forum??

[David Croteau]

[glenn bradley]

Now that kinda hurts. I coulda save $50 on my 5625. I wonder if a few more clamps at a good price would make me feel better?

[Russ Filtz]

No clamps, but I did score a $200 White Mountain ice cream maker for $140 yesterday!

[Aaron Beaver]

How do you use the "Bessey20" code, I tried entering it where I thought it would go but it said the promotional code could not be applied to this purchase.

[Vaughn McMillan]

Looks like the Bessey sale has has been trimmed back a bit. :( The 24" K-bodies are back up to $32.83, and the BESSEY20 code no longer works (at least it didn't when I tried to apply it to the 24"ers).

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a sign from the shop gods that I've got enough clamps for now?

24" is done. But you can get the 2450 package for $71 shipped. Bessey20 still works on this item.

[Steven Evans]

Yes, I had the same problem with the 24" I did get two 2450 kits coming for 143.00 thanks for the info(Nelsen). I thought I was doing something wrong also.

[Jeff Watson]

Wow, I have never seen the price of the Milwaukee that low. Does anyone know if they are replacing that beast in the near future? My wife is going to kill me if she finds out about that one.

[Mike Henderson]

I wonder if the prices on the Bessey clamps were an error on someone's part - the prices before the 20% discount were about 40% off regular list. Maybe they noticed the sales volume picking up on the clamps and discovered the error. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to pick up a few. Thanks, Larry, for tipping us off.

No. Amazon generally does this kind of thing. Amazon will low ball the price to generate interest, then raise the price after certain quantity objectives.

[Steve Roxberg]

Look at the main tools page, they have numerous items listed at 40% off. After you get to the main tools page, choose today's deals.

[Al Willits]

Just got the 2450 so it's still going.

What does Overdraft notice, mean??:D

I'm guessing it means you'll be sleeping with those new clamps for a while. ;)

Thanks for the info on the 24" Besseys, Nelson. I really didn't have an immediate need for them, and I can't justify (another) 4-clamp door set. (Trying to limit the shop expenses for the rest of the month, since I've already spent more than I'd planned.) I'll just sit tight and wait until they decide to drop the prices in the 24s again.

Beast? that's what we called another Milwaukee product in college. :p

I bought the LS1214L (laser instead of fluorescent light) for $58 (yes, 5-8) :eek: from Amazon about three weeks ago. Someone clearly fat-fingered the price. I was riddle with guilt for a couple of days, but it passed. When I received the saw, it was used and abused (someone ran the blade into the table and it was missing a few teeth on the blade). I sent it back and they promptly sent me another new one.

Apparently there is a $50 rebate too. My conscience won't let me claim it. :o

Good deal on the K2450 set...thanks for the heads-up!

Matt

[Matt Meiser]

Mine will. :D

I can't believe I actually got in on one of these deals. I usually read about them about 2 hours too late. Thanks Larry!

[Bryan Hunt]

Thanks for posting ... 4 Bessey's on the way :)

Oh, I shouldn't have read the rest of this post ... KBK2450 on the way as well ... good thing the LOML shares this hobby :)

[Bob Childress]

Well, I'm usually a day late and a dollar short, but snagged the KBK2440 kit this time. Thanks for letting us know!!

[Ben Abate]

you guys are killing me, I had no intention of buying clamps. Oh well, I guess. Thanks I got four.

Keep up the updates. I will never retire if I keep reading this site.

Ben

[Nelson Chen]

Prices hiked on kbk2450 and kbk2440.

I wish they had a sale & free shipping on the 60", I need a couple more.:(

Like you I've been waiting for the longer ones to go on sale, what I might end up doing is buying some of these:

http://www.ptreeusa.com/besseyK_body.htm

Scroll down and look for the X-Stender for Bessey K-Body clamps. Right now I have a few 31" clamps so if I were to pair them off I'd have some longer clamps when needed. Just an idea anyhow...

Larry

[Bruce Page]

Larry, those are pretty cool but I have the older Bessy's and can't take the heads off without modifying them.

[Matt Meiser]

Apparently I can expect 3 of mine tomorrow and one the next day. Each clamp in a different shipment. :confused:

[Larry Cooke]

If it's anything like my last order, I had ordered 8 of the 31" clamps, I received 8 individual boxes. Now, I've never had UPS back into my driveway before, I was very surprised to say the least when the truck backed in. Every box was 40" X 18" X 18", and all filled with those air bags. It took me over an hour to break the boxes down and pop those bags. There is no doubt that they are extremely wasteful when it comes to shipping. I really don't know how they do it...

Larry

[Brian Hale]

Matt,

snip.... It took me over an hour to break the boxes down and pop those bags. There is no doubt that they are extremely wasteful when it comes to shipping. I really don't know how they do it...

Larry

Here's a quick fun way to pop those air bags; Lay them out in a straight line and drive your car over them. pop pop pop pop pop pop pop :D

Brian :)

Brian????.......uuummmmm....why do you know that?

[Andy Sowers]

Another idea for getting rid of those Amazon air bags:

Take a pair of sharp scissors and slice the bags in half (right down the middle)... makes pretty quick work of all those air bags.

BTW, I ordered 4 of those 24" Besseys myself yesterday :)

Andy

[glenn bradley]

I've had that happen with Amazon. they both showed up the same day anyway(???)

[Brian Hale]

Brian????.......uuummmmm....why do you know that?

Ahhhhhhh ,,,,,,,,,, Well, the kids thought it was cool...... :o

They also liked trying to pop them on the trampoline. Kids, where do they get their ideas.... ;)

Brian :)

[John Kain]

I see Amazon has Unisaws for $777.

Just thought I'd mention it............

Delta Industrial 36-731 3 HP Cabinet Saw with 50" Unifence System = $777.14

[John Callahan]

It has a Unifence but it's not a Unisaw; it's a Chinese import and very different than a Uni- different trunnion, cabinet, table insert, motor, etc. Heck of a deal ........... been very tempted but I've been trying to get some feedback first.

[Matt Meiser]

Got my clamps yesterday. No excessive packaging. they had the cardboard wrapped around them which worked well.

Ahhh, I knew there had to be something I missed.

[Lars Thomas]

I received shipping notification my 4 clamps shipped - in four separate shipments. Last time I got clamps from them they were shipped (also separately) in a 12" x 24" x 40" with 100's of little air bags for protection with one lonely clamp lying at the bottom of the box. It kind of makes you wonder if UPS (along with Smurfit-Stone) runs their shipping department?

[John Kain]

2 of my clamps are in transit.

2 haven't been shipped yet............:(
