Forest Chopmaster on sale..

[Clisby Clark]

Amazon is having a weekend sale on these for $95 free shipping. It's going to be hard to go the weekend without pulling the trigger on this one.

[Todd Jensen]

thanks for the heads up; I've been 'needing' another one and thats a good 20-30 bucks off.

I bought a 10 inch version for 80 not to long ago on amazon. You might be able to grab it for less.

[Chris Barnett]

Amazon says it is $128 for the 10 inch. Where is the deal?
Oh, only the 12 inch. Oh, well....

chris, that 10 inch woodworker 2 blade is worth every cent! sorry, guess that doesn't make you feel any better...

[Dan O'Connor]

Isn't a 58 dollar shipped 12" miter-master a slightly better deal? That is Forrest's best miter blade.

Note the arbor size on that last pictures. Lots of folks here will need the arbor hole to be 1" on a 12" blade, and not the 5/8" that's there. That probably has something to do with the price.

[Dan O'Connor]

It looks like 5/8 is the only size the forrest makes. Dewalt will accomodate a 5/8, not sure about other brands.

Don't know about that - seems to agree with what they have listed (no 1" available). The chopmaster I have is definitely 1", and the hitachi saw I have won't accomodate 5/8ths arbors.

[Mike Heidrick]

Forrest will make the arbor size 1" if you want for around $10 I believe - call them and ask. Still a GREAT deal.

I need a big 12" SCMS or CMS before this blade though.

I also would like a BIG RAS. I like my 10"RAS. Also have a 10"CMS for in house work.
