I went into Lowes today to buy some painting supplies for the wife. I walked out with said painting supplies and another drill press.
They had 2 brands of drill presses and 2 brands of band saws on sale for $87.00 plus a sign said they would take an additional 20% off at the register.

They had a Delta 8" Drill press and 9" Band saw and a GMC 10" press and 9" band saw.

I bought the GMC press. It looked rugged and came with a 30 day money back and a 2 year warranty. It also has a Laser light system which puts an X on the work piece.

The GMC band saw looked rugged as well and came standard with a quick release fence.

The sale runs thru Dec. 21

The TV ad says 20% off all power tools

You just made up my mind as to where I'm going tonight.

the gmc is a good little machine.. far better than the ryobi.. i was looking at one of their contractor saws a while back.. not bad for the price.. and for those prices and 20% off how can you go wrong..

shot my tool budget for the year.. but i may end up with one of those drillpresses eventually..

Hey .. any body try that air blower they have at lowes .. Was thinking of hooking it up to dryer vent to air the place out ????

they Blow. tagger see one of ur hvac friends tell him u want a old blower off a discarded vent system.u can build a box an add filters.or vent it outside.

Multiple presses are a great help.I hate changing bits.or jigs.

If your spraying stuff with a high solvent content or there are alot of flamable vapors in your shop be careful using the HVAC motor for exhaust. There are concieled motors specifically designed for areas where a spark might cause an explosion. Exhausting waterbased stuff shouldn't be a problem with one though. Just dont want to see anyone go BOOM :)

I just bought the Delta Shopmaster drill press, band saw and belt/disc sander, great sale!
Machines are alittle light but should be good enough, GREAT price $69.60 each.... :happy:
