Ripped this off fatwallet, thought some of you DIYers may need a rather AWESOME router for what I paid for y 1-3/4 version
Another Lowe's double rebate deals. This doesn't work with the 15% power tools sale, but it does knock off $40.
Buy a PorterCable 12" Dovetail Jig at Lowes B&M (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=226747-546-4210) for $119 plus tax.
Using you original UPC and original receipt you apply the PorterCable $20 rebate (Mission, KS) (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.portercable.com/index.asp?e=564&p=1160572).
Then using a photocopy of the receipt you apply the Lowe's $20 rebate (El Paso, TX) (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.lowespromos.com/DisplayPDF.asp?pl=PDFs/1389-1.pdf?=1389).
So AR it's $79 or 33% off. Not bad. Add a Lowes or Home Depot 10% off coupon to warm it up.
Of note. The PorterCable rebate increases to $50 with a router purchase with this rebate (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.portercable.com/index.asp?e=564&p=1160567). All rebates end April 30. ard is invalid with the 15% off sale. See the Planer (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.fatwallet.com/t/18/717375/) thread for discussion about this risk.
and heres another one for a planar if any one needs one
Step 1: Purchase a DeWalt DW735 15 Amp 13-Inch Benchtop Planer at Lowes B&M for $549 (or less - it was $499 at my Store) plus tax. Here is a link to the model on the Lowes web site (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=221858-70-DW735&lpage=none).
Lowes is running a sale for 15% off power tools sale through April 11 (Link to Ad (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://lowes.shoplocal.com/lowes/Default.aspx?action=browsepagelarge&storeid=2505601&rapid=384461&pagenumber=1)). So you save $82.35 to get an out the door price of $466.65 plus tax.
Step 2. Dewalt has a $60 manufacture rebate with original UPC and original receipt. Link to rebate (Mission, KS) ending April 30 (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.dewalt.com/DWAssets/english/pdf/rebates/2007Q1/woodworkingPromotion.pdf). So we are down to $406.65
Step 3. Lowes has a $60 store gift card rebate with photocopy of receipt, no UPC needed. Link to Lowes gift card rebate (El Paso, TX) ending April 30 (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.lowespromos.com/PDFs/1382-1.pdf). So we are down to $346.65 (or $304.15 if the starting price is $499).
If my math is right that is a savings of $202.35, or about 37% off retail price (or 41% of $499).
Places where the deal could go wrong (let's read the fine print):
1 DeWalt claims Lowes is not "an authorized DeWalt authorized channel and retailer" - Not likely.
2 Lowes claims you can not double dip the gift card rebate with the 15% off deal - Possible, but the rebate form never states "not valid with any other offer" so I think it will work.
3 DeWalt or Lowes say you can't use their rebate with the other rebate - not likely since they are in two different processing centers.
So... I think this will fly. Greatest risk is not getting the 15% off and $60 gift card so there might be a risk of that $60.
There are good professional reviews for this planer Wood Magazine (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.woodmagazine.com/wood/story.jhtml?storyid=/templatedata/wood/story/data/1162245696468.xml), Popular Woodworking (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.popularwoodworking.com/features/planers.0204.pdf), and NewWoodworker (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.newwoodworker.com/reviews/dw735rvu.html). Consumer reviews on woodworking forums and Amazon (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.amazon.com/) are ok, with most complaints about knives dulling quickly and the rollers not feeding correctly over time. I had made up my mind to get the Delta (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.delta.com/) 22-580 ($429 on Amazon (http://www.fatwallet.com/redirect/bounce.php?afsrc=1&url=http://www.amazon.com/)) due to price and the knife issue but this deal will buy me a LOT of extra knives.
Lowes says 1 year warranty, but DeWalt says 3-year Warranty Information[/I] Link in page.]http://www.dewalt.com/us/products/tool_detail.asp?productID=5935
Hope this helps!
