    Help me get a new planer and wide belt sander

    Amazon had a promo in their last tool catalog that they sent out and on the back it had $100 off of $500 in delta tools. They are also running a $150 off a $750 purchase. Here is the kicker, I bought a X5 uni for Christmas and if you buy 3 X5 tools, you get $500 back from Delta. If my calculations are right, buying the 15 inch planer and the X5 wide belt sander would save me $1000!

    I showed this to my wife and she reluctently admited that that deal was almost too good to pass up, although she is sick of my tool purchases. Anyway, I don't have an extra coupon code for the $100 off delta tools. Is there anyone that can help here? I know this topic has been brought up on one of the other sites that most of us frequent, but I am more active on this site and like the atmosphere better here.

    I'll make a deal, If someone sends me a code I'll become a contributing member to this site and actually ..gulp.. send some money in for a good cause. (I'm planning on it anyway, but you could get that warm fuzzy feeling). BTW, this would be a deal too good to walk away from right? I would have chosen the Grizzly and Performax, but at these prices, how can I say no?

    I didn't think delta made a wide-belt sander, are you talking about the open sided drum sander?

    Proper terminology is drum sander. Widebelts are a totally different thing.

    Yes, it looks like a really good deal on the X5 Drum sander, even without the multi-buy X5 that Silas has. It works out to 549 for the drum sander:

    $899 for the sander with free shipping
    -100 for the X5 "single item" rebate
    -100 for the 100 off of 500 delta coupon (if you have one)
    -150 for the 150 off of 750 sales coupon going on right now.
    -------
    $549 for the total, no tax for most.
