lol @ AlaskaGuy – I don’t assume that everyone knows. I certainly don’t memorize them. I was surprised by a response though from someone who didn’t know what I was talking about. Guessing there’s not much to do in Alaska? ;)

Anyhow, I just visited a lowes on the way home and there is no longer a display unit set up in the tool section. I was told by the guy there that they should be available on the website for a while longer, but they were not going to be stocking them. He assumed that meant that they were on the way out.

I’ve been agonizing over purchasing either the Rigid R4512 or the PC for about a year now and then upgrading to cast wings and a better fence as time and money allowed. Feature for feature, they’re almost identical, but I think the PC has a slight advantage – and I’ve never had an issue with any of the PC tools that I own. The PC often goes on sale for $550 and my lowes allows me to use HF coupons, so that’s another 20% off – for $440, I think it’s a pretty good deal.
