Nice Band Saw Fence for the money (Medium Duty)

Post by ken572 »

This caught my eye so I thought I would share.

Ken. :)

Be cautions in how you interpret this link. The offer is NOT for a fence. It is for a micro-adjuster for the assembly.

Ken,

There doesn't seem to be a price listed or any way to add it to your cart to buy it.

Hi Ed,
Scroll down approximately 1/4 way, and over to the right and you will see them. :wink:

Ken,

Well, I'm still not seeing it. All I see is the $14.99 price for the micro adjuster but nothing for the fence itself. :(

I see what you mean :oops: I called there customer service,
(Night Person). They said I should call back in the morning and talk to
the day customer service people. She said she could not find #485-7200K
in her system, so I will call and see what the deal is. :?
I did find the following, by typing 485-7200K into the search box and it
shows the Fence for the same price :?:

I just got off the phone with customer service at Eagle America,
and they said they no longer sell the Precision Fence Package
# 485-7200K. I asked why it is still listed on their web site with
contradicting prices and she said oh, we forgot to take it off. :roll:

I guess I won't be ever placing any orders with them.

I also apologize for wasting anyone’s time with my cool find. :oops:

What’s cool is that you found out that it’s no longer for sale. Thanks for the effort, Ken.

Looks like a spam? Or just poor customer service?

Not spam, but it looked like they were selling a complete fence assembly, when they were only selling a sub-assembly.
I emailed them 3 times/3 addresses immediately after finalizing the order, and have not seen any confirmation.
