Hi there,
I've been watching Craigslist in my area for the past few weeks for table saw deals. I've come close to buying a Ridgid R4512 several times, but just too worried about the trunnion and blade alignment issues (and there is only one left in a ~50 mile radius of where i live).
That being said, I finally found, what i feel to be a diamond in the rough, based on what i've read here on the forums and on other woodworking related forums..
The Craftsman 315.228390: http://bham.craigslist.org/tls/4306157904.html
No riving knife, no handle for the angle adjustment, current owner claims it cuts true and accurate (but he also didn't know what Hz stood for or meant, and didn't know what the fence was called..., e.g. a "fence"). It looks like it's the cast iron wings, but I honestly can't tell :/
That said, for $150 and only a 45 min drive from my house, I may can talk him down to $100 and it'd be worth my time I'd think.
Thoughts?
I feel like the fence would be decent enough until I can order a Delta T2 or similar..
Thanks for your comments.
