Just a heads up. Normally they are $120-130. Wonder if this is a temporary or permanent price reduction.

is that the new model or the old one?
new one has a tool-less blade change and maybe some other improvements
they may be cutting prices on the old to get rid of them
HD here had one for about 75 on clearence the other day, just the saw, no case or anything
Don't know about model changes. It was the saw that was on display, so if there is a newer model, they aren't selling it yet. It is the same model # that I have.
Remove the "743K $85 at" from your thread title.
That is why the saw is on sale.

Only thier routers and belt sanders are any good any more.
But those may get "upgraded" soon also.

I have a couple. They're OK except the cords wear out real fast. The new quick change blade thing is a pointless annoyance. I like the old one better.

Mr T,
Any clue when that happened?

the 743 (lefty) is still in production... the 347 (righty) is out of production, replaced by the new one with the tooless blade change..
the new one is so noisy it's annoying.. i just ordered a 347 yesterday from a different branch of my tool store..
both the 743 & 347 are superior to the new one.... very accurate cut.. lot's of good features
there are a lot of factory reconditioned 743's on the market.. if you can get a new one for $85... buy a dozenMike Smith Rhode Island : Design / Build / Repair / Restore

Amazon show the 347 still available, but not the 743.
Out Blowes has Makita combo router set, recp saw, and circular saw on close out.
He was right. My local lowes had one lefty hiding on the bottom shelf with no sign. The tool saleman knew nothing about it. Went to the register and it rang up $85. Cool.
Mid sixties I believe.Mr T

I picked up a new one on closeout at our local Lowes for fifty a few weeks ago.
Who Dares Wins.
