It appears that Axminster is having a "Specials Sale" at Sittingbourne tomorrow:

Description.It's that time of the year again and we are having a great big clear out. We are selling off all of our machines that could be mail order returns, shop soiled display machines or some that have been slightly damaged in transit. We call these machines SPECIALS and there will be many available at incredibly low prices.
If you are looking for a superb bargain, make sure you've set aside some time to call in at our Sittingbourne store this Saturday. We can promise you will not be disappointed!
Please note: the majority of products will be ex-catalogue, clearance and returned items.
They say that these machines will be sold at incredibly low prices, but whether their idea of incredibly low prices are the same as mine, it remains to be seen, but you never know.
Anyway as I am after a new bandsaw I would have loved to pop in, but as it is a 1266 mile round trip I will never be able to make it at this short a notice, and on top of that I fear that any savings I make on the machine will be eaten up by the expenses (ie petrol prices) :twisted:
As I cannot get there I am wondering if anyone that is going would be willing to see if any of the following bandsaws are discounted?
Axminster Plus AP4300T/1
"""" """" AP5300T/1 (not the AP5300HDS which is more expensive)
Jet JWBS-16 Mk2
"" JWBS-18 Mk2
"" JWBS-18Q
Because Philly rates it highly I would prefer the AP4300T, but I am open to recommendations from other members for one of the above, or even any saw that I have not mentioned, just as long as it's roughly the same quality and spec.
Before anyone asks, I know that I said that I was going to spend my birthday money on a drum sander, but despite bumping my thread up I simply could not get enough info from anyone who has personally used/owns one. All I can think of is that members who own one must have missed the thread (Just my luck :roll
Anyway I would be extremely grateful if any member who is going could help me [-o< \:da/ That way I could then contact Axminster by phone and organise purchase and delivery.
Many thanks
Mike
