Sales on Track Saws?

**brthomas** · 09-10-2012, 10:09 PM

Does anyone have any idea if there will be any sales on Track Saws, either Festool or DeWalt out of preference. Looking to buy some. Preferably the TS75 with two tracks kit. I remember I had just missed the sale that DW had this time last year I believe it was.

Does anyone have experience with lower purchase pricing if they were to buy three or more?

Thanks in advance.

Check on Craigslist. In NJ I have seen a few lately in decent shape. Not a great bargin, but better than retail.

Well, you aren't going to get a discount on Festool saws. With Makita or DeWalt you've got a better chance. I find the track saw to be a good investment even at full retail.

Are the Makita and Dewalt going to stick around? I know they are good, but I haven't seen any indication that they are selling well.

As far as used saws go, I see the Festools for sale plenty, but they are so close to full price- with no guarantee of where they've been and no more warranty- seems like the savings is not worth it.

Make a nice list of what you want/need and furnish that to vendors you find reputable/trust. Include accessories and expendables to cover you for x-years. Let them work for you as you do for your clients.

I'd buy the Festool.

Another vote for the Festool, buy a CT dust collector at the same time.

That is an excellent idea Mark, I will be looking into that.

Thank you Tom.

I really am more leaning toward Festool. I used to work for a company a very long time ago that used a lot of Festool and I loved them a lot. It is my first choice honestly. Thank you all for your inputs.

Has everyone tried searchtempest.com? You type in your zip code and a keyword and it searches craigslist for any radius up to 400 miles- at the end of all the listings it also gives you ebay postings.

It's really nice, especially if you are in area in between 2 or 3 different craigslist hubs.

Cheers

Just a heads up, Amazon is having a sale on DeWalt products up to 50% off. You can get the two track kit with clamps and router adapter for $660.00 +/-

I think I'm going to spring on this and a few other cordless tools while the sales are in effect.
