I know Harbor Freight often puts stock on sale, and I've bought items from HF that were much less than normal list price.

Just curious if this belt sander ever goes on sale or if $40 is as cheap as it gets.

I've eye-ballin' that one for a while. $40 is dirt cheap! :eek:

It's the belt's that'll cost...

For $40 you can leave it out in the front yard and let it rust with the cars.

Well, I was thinking a pile of 15 to 20 of them outside rusting would look real nice. That's why I want to get bottom dollar. Maybe a quantity discount?

Seriously, I just know that HF discount prices their stock a lot. So, I'm not adverse to waiting a couple of weeks if the price might come down $10 or $15.

I might go get one tomorrow though. I got a new ASH-1 in that I want to grind on. :eek: :D

Guyon, I get their sale flyers almost weekly and have never seen it on special. I have seen a coupon in one of their flyers 3 or 4 months ago for 15% off any purchase.

I was hoping Skunk would start including new ones as Skunk Junk, but that hasn't happened. Besides, I can't wear the xtra-smalls, so it was just hopeful thinking.

Good ones probably are. :p

This, for me, would be an experimental model just to play around with some edges. I've heard that the Central Machinery (aka Chinese Machinery) model works just fine though. Runs a little loud, but works just fine.
 
It would work fine for kydex but if you plan on pimping any blades make sure they are small and that you bring a bag of patience because with only 1/3 hp you'll need it.
