Don't they usually do a 15% off for Black Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Not sure about Black Friday, I do know they always have free shipping on orders over $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_r_ Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 LOVE Acme Tools 10% and 15% off coupons! Saved a lot of money over the last couple years through them. They sell on eBay too and list in such a way that you earn eBay Bucks from purchases from them. Got a ton back from my Sawstop PCS and accessories purchase through them via eBay! Can do the same with Festool items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyestoob Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 You should probably pass. They only get 4.9 stars out of 5 with 62 reviews. There is obviously some sort fundamental flaw in the design of the machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estesbubba Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 How thin you sanding those down to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick S Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 4 hours ago, estesbubba said: How thin you sanding those down to? Depends on the species and if they're being bent. The curved door mesquite face & back I took down to .075". The flat ambrosia back panel pieces are .110". The mesquite doesn't bend very easily, so I went thinner.

hawkeyestoob Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 Thanks for the quick response Micks. I am also on the fence about getting a larger drum sander then this sale comes us and to make matters worse I see this beast come up on craigslist not far from me.

Tom Cancelleri Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 I've got as thin as 1/16" on my Supermax. It's a great machine. When you can sand off 2 thousandths .002 repeatedly, I'd say it's a damn good machine. It's made really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estesbubba Posted October 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 BTW sale extended through today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxerjoe04 Posted October 11, 2016 Report Share Posted October 11, 2016 My woodcraft has all power tools(except festool and sawstop) 10% off this week. Saturday is their anniversary sale, might get there a couple hours before they open so I can get 20% off a single item(first 30 people), and it will be going towards the supermax, pretty pumped.
