I stopped by my local Lowes today and they had 30 inch Biesemeyer fence and table setup marked down to $50 from $400 originally. This made my day. :)


Have a great weekend.

WOW :cool: :cool: :cool:

I bet that made your day.... from $400 to $50, that would make any one's day.

Great find.

Congrats on the good deal...

But If I have learned the SMC 'way' correctly.... No pics, No Gloat:D

Are you serious? If you are that would put you in the Gloating Hall of Fame.

Ah, any chance you could scan your receipt and send it to me? I just looked at them today up here (O'Fallon, MO) and they're at $200 (but they said they'd price match other stores) Festus??

Ran down to my local Lowes and they had a couple...The problem is they are still marked at $400. I had the manager look them up to see if the price was reduced. No luck and he would not budge from the price. Does anyone have a receipt or something showing they only paid $50? I would greatly appreciate the help.

i am also in need of a rip fence. the three Lowes near me still has them at $400 if they have them at all.

i'd snatch one up in a new york minute if i found one for $200 and if i found them for $50 i'd probably wet myself.

good find Mr. Short! :)

Were you able to get that deal too......................... Whats the secret? Do you have the copy of the receipt?

Michael or Lyle - thanks - and share the key to a nice fence

I talked with my wife about this--she's a manager at Lowe's. She suggested that the only thing marked down that far is usually a special order return. Does your Lowe's not normally stock this item? Can you post a copy of your receipt?

i found one near me for $360. they didnt know what it was or that they even had it but they sure weren't going to budge from the price in the computer.

i wonder if a store here in virginia would price match one of the missouri stores that have them for $200. anyone know?

I actually took a copy of the receipt I got from Lyle to my Lowe's, and none of the 3(yes, I went to all of them!) stores would budge off the 200-220 price tag. Since it's a clearance/non-stock item, the price doesn't seem to be set across the board. It's up to the individual stores to decide what they're doing. One of the tool managers told me it was probably a matter of time before they come down further, but he also mentioned that $50 was "way below their cost.":(

if i could get them to the $200-220 range i would buy one in a heartbeat.

in all reality how do these compare to the T2's? they look similar though looks can be deceiving. i dont do large cabinetry or work with sheets of plywood. most of my work is either electric guitars or smaller projects. i'm just wondering if i shouldnt pick up the T2 instead at the lower price.

I don't know what the T2 is priced at, but most Lowe's have the Unifence for under $70 now, and I think that is a great fence, and more easily adjustable than the T2, IMHO...

i managed to find some at $200. picked mine up this afternoon.

for anyone in the northern virginia area looking for one of these the Lowes in Chantilly has them for $200 (2 left). dont bother going to the Lowes in Sterling they are still priced at $360 in the computer as of today.

The Lowes in Beavercreek OH has it for $200. I told them about the $50 deal going on and they said they can't go that low unless it hasn't sold in a long time. So I'll keep stopping by and checking...

I'm in Denver and both Lowes near me still have them at $200. Looks like I'll be stopping by both daily on my way home. Now the customer service and tool people will definitely get to know me and my Newfie. They'll probably start telling me "Sorry Tanner, still not marked down...." as soon as I get in the door.

Congrats on the $50 deal. I thought the $200 (1/2 price) deal was good. Now this!!!!
