My first post so be easy on the thread crapping.

Seems like a HOT deal to me a 10" Chicago Electric Tools sliding compound miter saw. Lot No 90891 (which I guess is their sku #). Regular price is $199.99. This was in the Rochester, NY flyer, but may be nation wide.

Sale ends 2/13/06 so there is plenty of time get in on this deal

I think this is the standard sale price for this saw. It goes on sale once or twice a year (as does the 12" version). There were a couple of threads from late last year about the quality and durability of both models. If you want more info, just do a search. Haven't decided personally if I want to spend the extra money for a better brand name version or not yet, but this is one of the options I have considered.

Thanks for the heads up OP.

I am going to buy either the 10" or the 12" sliding saw.

I read somewhere that, when building a house, 95% of the
cuts can be done with the 10" sliding saw . So why should
I consider buying the 12"?

Because the 12" is 15 amps, and the 10" saw is 10.5 amps.
Power means a lot.

I recently bought a 7 1/4" Hitachi hand circular power saw,
and it's 15amps, and it just zooms through the 2 X 6s.

DOES ANYONE HAVE THE 12", AND WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT??

What do you all think about this post? Please let me know.

My boss has the 12" one - it is really good for a home shop, but it is his second (the first one broke and worked, but was not exactly safe anymore). If you are going to use this for your profession, spend the extra cash and get professional grade stuff and stay away from Chicago Electric. If you are a hobby kind of person, you will be more than satisfied.

I think one can buy a replacement insurance from Harbor Freight.

Of course, if you buy it with your Gold or Platinum VISA, or AMEX Card
the warranty is doubled by the CC Company, (extended warranty limited to
one year). If there is a one year warranty, it becomes two years.

I have taken advantage of the extended warranty 3 times with VISA with
no problems.

By the way, this coupon probably will work at Home Depot (I have not tried it yet) since they accept competitors' coupons.

I bought the 10" sliding miter and it is great. I got 20% off, made total $79.

Oh yes... and highly recommended if you intend to really use the saw.
