My first post so please be gentle. (note: I posted this same text on SD)

I was at Sears today to pick up my router from this deal and I saw a guy loading 3 miter saws on his truck. I asked him about them and he said they were under $200 dollars (usually more than $600). I went back inside and noticed the saw displayed for $299. It is a Craftsman Professional 12 inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser. A salesman came up and told me it was even cheaper cuz it is on clearance. Went to the counter and it rang up at $175.97. I went ahead and picked one up at that price because it was just a steal.

I could not find a link to the exact model I purchased (model 2009 21206) from their website, but here is a link to a similar model.

Fire away with questions/comments.

Still just normal sale price in Northern California.

I just want to remind everyone to please remember to be careful with your tools! I've been working with power tools for 25+ years without injury, but last week my rather anal attention to safety slipped for half a second while mitering some crown. Now I've got a month of physical therapy ahead of me to build up strength in the muscle/tendon I nicked with a carbide-tipped blade. Fortunately, the saw was already in the process of clutching down the blade after the cut. Otherwise I'd have a lifetime of one-handed typing ahead of me!

i found two stores with one at each but still coming up at reg price. can you scan a receipt or post your location or more info so we can match this?

Went to three stores. At only one store. Price came up as $499 when he put the 21206 sku in the computer. He didn't scan it with a UPC scanner.

Please receipt scan, they willing to pricematch, though it shows 499.

I found this in the Northridge Ca store. They had 8 left before I bought mine (that was after someone else had just bought 3).

I have no clue about the motor brake, but here is a link to a site that is selling the same model online:

Does anyone know if when typed into the computer it shows $499, if it is scanned will it come up different as $175 ???

Seems like its good only on west coast.

Too bad its a Craftsman.

Also no go in GA. Manager said it was a regional thing…could not get him to price match!

Here's a link to an old cached page from Sears.com showing this saw:
