It’s the weekend and Amazon’s dropping prices like they’re hot. Here are the best deals I found that are labeled “weekend sale” and then a couple deals that aren’t.

(The likelihood that these deals are still good is directly related to how much time has passed since I spotted them…)

Did you watch the WoodWhisperer’s Shop Tour video (4th down… called the King and His Castle)? He described certain specialized tools there, tools that make very particular jobs much easier.

Like today’s deal of the day… an oscillating spindle sander that’s $99.99 shipped for a limited time.

1) Wilton 99179 1/3 Horsepower Benchtop Oscillating Spindle Sander $99.99 Shipped

Here’s what one Amazon reviewer thinks:

“What a pleasure it is to sand on this oscillator, especially if you’re accustomed to chucking a drum sander into your drill press. It’s powerful, quiet and has a generous worktable, along with throat plates to match each size drum. Everything stores neatly on board the sander and keeps it ready to use.”

Considering that this tool just dropped almost $50 in price I don’t think it will stay that low for long. If you want it for $99.99 (it normally sits at around $150…) then you need to get on it.

Here are some more details for you:

* Benchtop oscillating spindle sander; dual-action spindle spins and oscillates in 5/8-inch range
* 1/3-horsepower for quick stock removal; integrated dust-collection system
* Features lock-off switch with removable key
* Includes sander, throat plate, 5 sanders
* 20 by 14-inch worktable; 27 pounds; 3-year warranty

This price will drop soon. Buy Wilton Spindle Sander $99.99 now from Amazon >>

Keep yourself safer and your cuts straighter by buying a pair of these featherboards from Bench Dog… currently at $16.99 shipped + 20% rebate with the PTA2OOFF code, the lowest price we’ve ever seen them from Amazon (you will have to buy $25 worth of Amazon merch to get free shipping though).

Pick up the Bench Dog 10-005 Featherboard now >>

What earned this featherboard a four star rating from twenty reviewers? Let’s take a look:

1) Multipurpose featherboard for holding the stock against the guide fence
2) Unique miter gauge slot allows quick removal
3) Easy set-up feature
4) High tech polymer ensures it will maintain its original shape
5) Advanced design means no marring to your workpiece

That’s what Bench Dog says about them. Here’s what the reviewers think:

1) The “feathers” have just the right amount of stiffness to hold my stock tightly against the fence without leaving scratches. I also love how easily adjustable this tool is.
2) Handy, universal, and inexpensive considering how often you may get to use it.
3) Combined with featherboards that hold the wood down, boards will go through straight even when pushing with a stick. This makes for better cuts as well as safer operation.

What? Of course I picked only positive snippets from the reviews I’m trying to sell the dang thing to you If you want to read the downsides of this featherboard you’ll have to go check out the page here: Bench Dog 10-005 Feather-Loc Single Featherboard

Go check out the Bench Dog 10-005 now, before the price goes back up and the rebate’s gone… This product normally sells for around $20-25.

This Triton’s been around for a couple years now and $189.99 shipped is the lowest we’ve ever seen it from Amazon.

Get the Triton MoF001KC now!

Note that the product page says: “In stock soon. Order now to get in line. First come, first served.” So yeah. You might have to wait.

But here’s why it’s worth waiting for:

1. Height adjustment crank (allows above table height adjustments)
2. The design also allows bit changing from above the table.
3. 2HP motor with soft start function
4. Shaft lock that engages automatically in bit change mode
5. Winding handle for accurate and fast plunge depth adjustments
6. Winner of the prestigious 2005 AWFS Sequoia Award for the Most Innovative Product in the Power Tools Category.

Ever since the Triton got written up in Fine Woodworking it’s made its way into the router tables of woodworkers around the world.

There’s some debate about whether it’s the best router for free hand work…

There’s NO debate that $189.99 shipped is a great price so get yours now before the price jumps back up!
