I don’t know if any of you deal with Woodworker.com. They are a pretty good source in my opinion, and I’ve been satisfied with the price and quality of everything I’ve ever purchased from them.

I was kind of shocked when I received this email from them yesterday. Of course I never heard of the brand, and they’ve got to be some poorly made junk, but the prices are enough to grab your attention.

yeah, thats pretty incredible – I think that the material alone would cost just as much here in the states…

on a side note – if I spend any more $$$ I would really have to build another bed REAL fast. (I feel guilty buying a pack of screws for $3.99 these days)

I found this on Sawmill Creek, someone said, “The Woodtek is made by Geetech, who also makes the GI 50-220CM1, the Sunhill CT-250T, and Craftex hybrids….all appear to be the same basic saw with different bolt-ons.”
I didn’t research extensively, but appears to be a quality company as the others have said. I just received my Jet contractors saw yesterday, and there are some striking similarities between the Geetech TS and the Jet.

Great prices on those tools. I have bought quite a few things from them as they as located in NC. Great customer service as well. I’ll have to look into that table saw.

A shop I worked in had woodworkers supply yellow and green machines, mostly different sanders. They got a lot of their supplies there and seemed pretty good all around.

I bought a commercial 20” disc sander a few years back by woodtek and it has been perfect..absolutely perfect..not a single thing wrong with it. The balance of the big disc was unbelievable and it would continue to spin for at least 20 minutes after I shut it off till it stopped.. At the time it was $900..but has gone up a bit from there.. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy more woodteks in the future..
