Went to Home Depot tonight to pick up some of that never rot trim for the columns I am repairing. Anyway, I saw the old Ridgid 12" miter saw with stand(without the laser) on sale for $199 down from $299. Anyway, I convinced my wife that it would really help me cut this 1x8 trim I am using on the project. She says throw in the cart and I am like "YES". To make things even better, I inquired about the hand tool sell and whether or not this qualified, they said no, but gave me a 10% off coupon. (they were having some type of sales contest) It was like someone handed me a $20 bill. Bottom line, I picked up the twelve inch saw for $179+tax.

The home depot store by me is having a sale Sunday night after close from 7-9, and everything is 10% off.

I am selling my old 15 amp Delta 10in saw if anyone is interested. (in KC area) Go check out the classified for more info.
