I am going to get a WS3000 to replace my Tormek. Seems like EVERYONE is selling the WS for $199.95! The best deal is Rockler who is including a spare glass disc and is just a few dollars cheaper than the same setup from Amazon w/free shipping. Now that the Greensboro NC store closed is there any NC tax on a Rockler mailorder?

Has anyone seen these any cheaper?

Can the Klingspor North Carolina Woodworker 10% discount be applied to something like this?

Is this math correct if I were to buy it at Klingspor?

200.00 list
-20.00 North Carolina Woodworker 10% discount
180.00
+12.15 tax (180 X .0675)
192.15 (a whopping $7.85 less than Amazon- but I'd spend $30 in gas driving to get it )

I think the WS would be considred a power tool. No discount.

I thought WC had it for $199 w/ a free glass wheel (or something). Might be worth checking on that deal to see if it is still around.

Personally, I think the price is a bit high. It's a bit of a "new toy" price for about a $75 piece of equipment. I'd like to have one, but am waiting on a market price adjustment.

Alan,

Right now Hartville tool is offering free shipping on products over $75.

They list it @ $199.99, no NC tax. Check around I think that there is a 15% Woodnet discount that might also be available that would bring it down to $160. DaveO used to know about the discount, check with him or wait for another member to chime in.

Good luck,

Jimmy

Alan, I got mine from WoodCraft online when they were offering a special. I think I got 10% off and I got a $25 gift card (but the price was a little more than $199 at the time). So I think I netted it for about $190, which I thought was good enough They run these specials several times a year so keep an eye open, it could be worth waiting a little.

BTW, if you want to know my opinion, I reviewed it on my website (see the link below) ...

For the Hartville Tool discount just enter Woodnet15 in the comment section of the online order form, or mention it over the phone. It won't come off at check out, they have to do it manually, but you will see the reduced price on your CC.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

I don't know what happened to my earlier reply, but thanks to all, especially Jimmy and DaveO. I didn't know about Hartville's *free shipping and forgot about the WoodNet discount. Hartville is good people. Last summer I visited their brick and mortar store in, of all places, Hartville, OH.

I ordered tonight and it should run $170.

FYI, Jerry Grant who bought my Tormek is spending the weekend in Columbia, SC taking WW classes from David Marks!!!!!

*Update: I just noticed the Hartville Winter Catalog announcing free shipping on my end table- it came in today's mail!
