Woodenskye Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Since supermax was bought by Laguna, are they now part of the restricted manufacturer list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Thanks for posting this! I found a tool that I can use, that I didn't know existed. http://www.acmetools.com/shop/tools/milwaukee-2429-21xc-m12-cordless-band-saw-kit#specs edited to add: But I found it significantly cheaper on ebay, even including the Acme "discount" edited again to add that the ebay "deal" was bare tool only, so it looks like Acme it is.

estesbubba Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I would love to get a Supermax 19-38 and know it would be a nice upgrade to my Jet 16-32 but do I really need to spend the money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you use yours more in a day than I do in a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use them at work completely replaced the hacksaw onsite. It is probably my favorite of any my work tools.

Tom King Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I procrastinated until past 5 o'clock to order the little bandsaw, and noticed that there was now 20% off on select Milwaukee tools (including this one), if you order an accessory. I ordered an extra package of blades. When I went to the cart, I was $25.43 short of free shipping, so I went to get some Vise-Grips that I need to build one of my benders with, and found that they were, on sale, 4 bucks each cheaper than some I'd bought off of ebay, so I ordered 2 at 11.99 each. Still short by a couple of dollars, I had to find some other small something to get it over 200 bucks for free shipping. Still beats shopping in a store. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet it's still the 19-38 for most. I went with the new one for the slightly smaller footprint. You are not a normal user though, I'm not sure if they make a 100-200 For anyone wondering, Acme did give me credit for the 15% sale, so I give them credit. ABF Freight can go pee up a rope though.

Tom King Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 That's impressive that they backed up the discount. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 They make a 25/50 but it has the same motor as the 19/38. But if you want the extra width the price isn't much more. I think the motor is strong enough if you take light passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post B1rdhunter Posted October 11, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Haven't had the chance to use the 19/38 so can't really compare but I like how my 25/50 has worked for me. Panel in clamps is 6'6" x 26"x 1" QSWO. The weak link in sanding it was me hoisting it back to feed through again. Smaller panels are 24" wide sanded to 5/16 thick. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sander has been at their local warehouse for two days, I finally emailed them and asked if I could expect them to schedule delivery soon. They got snippy with me and said it was my fault I hadn't contacted them to schedule delivery. I was definitely impressed by Acme. They'll get more business from me for this.

Tom King Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 There are shipping companies still operating in the stone age of telephones, and snail mail. Most of it is subcontracted out. I had a real run-in with a trucking company getting a pallet of hand blown cylinder glass to us. It took less time to get it to the U.S. in a container from Germany, than from the port(in the same state) to here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did. I actually think that's what pushed Acme to giving me the sale price. I told them I was ready to tell ABF to send the sander back to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_r_ Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 I always pick up something big each 15% sale AcmeTools does. This time I ordered a Fuji Mini-Mite 4 w/ the GXPC gun. $670 shipped. Not too bad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
