Re: Bargain Alerts

For those looking for tools and are comfortable with surplus and repairing tools, you might want to check this out: http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/view+classifieds/id/1409749/sash+woodworking+equipment . The seller says they prefer it be sold as a lot but are also open to individual pieces or lots.

I've got dibs on the bandsaw 🙂 ... joke but that's what I'm interested in the most.

This is a good tip. Thanks.
I just couldnt see the prices (at least for retail ones). Anyway, I'll go there and check it out this coming holiday (aug21).

Re: Bargain Alerts

Here's another one ... Handyman put on sale their Rubbermaid brushes - Buy 1 Take 1! I just got 10 of them but as fate would have it I just bought 2 the other week.

Re: Bargain Alerts

Here is another woodworking shop that is selling its tools: http://manila.craigslist.com.ph/tls/1349887145.html . The ad says "P5000 but I suspect that's P500k based on the list of equipment they're selling.

There is another listing in Craig's List for a very nice looking machine shop for P650k.

Re: Bargain Alerts

Just bought a B&D 4" 900w angle grinder for P1,700 from DIY. I've been in the market for a new grinder for some time now but just now found something worth its price and that I could afford. Now P1,700 is still a lot more than the cheaper MICs however this one is not a MIC, it is Made in England. In addition, it also comes with a free tile cutting wheel.

Re: Bargain Alerts

I also saw this B&D grinder in DIY Shop at Uniwide. Not bad at 1,700 pesos. How is it holding out. I could use one for wire brush duty if it packs enough power.

tks

Re: Bargain Alerts

Hey bro. I wanted to use it this weekend but it still has the British type of plug which I still have to replace. It did not come with an adaptor :<. One thing about it is that the body is fatter than others which makes it a little bit hard to hold. The body does get thinner towards the end so if used with the handle it should do fine. I normally don't use the handle and remove the guard too but I'm happy with it.

Re: Bargain Alerts

Hmmm ... the one I saw did not have a British plug. Maybe its not made in England. Where did you get yours?

Would you be kind enough to upload some pics please. tks

Re: Bargain Alerts

The model is KG900. Nameplate says, "Type 1 220-240V 50/60Hz 3.9A No. 10000/min dia. 100mm". It looks like this:

Re: Bargain Alerts

Thanks Bro. Looks like the same unit I saw. I will check it again when I have chance.

Re: Bargain Alerts

any bargain table saws around? ano ba ang hahanapin? for home hobby use lang po sana.. thanks

Re: Bargain Alerts

Bump.

This kind of thread are usually stickies on other forums. Tools and Project Materials on bargain prices where bargain doesn't necessarily mean cheap. A good tool or material at a good price is still a bargain.

Re: Bargain Alerts

What were the prices of the Stanley planes?

For combination square, for comparison, the Kapro was P325 at Panda.

There is also a magnetic version, P470.
The Kapro levels (from 50 cm, P275 to 120 cm, P450) also look well made and have an accuracy spec, 0.5 mm/m.

Was Panda at Worldbex?

Re: Bargain Alerts

I saw that square at Panda too. Its the one I used to check the jaws of the Right Angle Clamp I recently purchased. If I was out for a combi square then that one would be on top of my list.

Made in Israel I was informed.

I did not see the magnetic one.

Re: Bargain Alerts

the stanley no 4 (i think) is 1600 pesos

I saw the kapro combi square at hans tools today. The kapro seems to be a little bit better built that the stanley
