First post here.
I've been watching Craigslist for some time now hoping to find a decent TS. I'm just starting a small woodshop, strictly hobbiest stuff for the wife...new cabinets, sewing boxes, blanket chest, etc...Also have grown daughters and some grand children I would like to make things for.
Anyway, I was originally looking at the Rigid R4512 but discarded it due to the alignment problems I have read so much about. Then I found the Delta 36-725 at Lowes, and thought about that one. It's too new to find any reliable info on, so I'll pass on it as well.
Frankly, I would rather wait until I find a good quality saw on CL so I would have something that would last a good long time.
I found this one:
http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/tls/4282545897.html
but there is no model number listed. I'm concerned about the rust on the top and in the miter channels.
Also it seems a bit pricey at $850. I'm not against paying that much for a TS, as long as it's worth it. For just $500 more I could get a brand new Jet Proshop with a 52"fence, but if the used saw is a good deal, I can save the money for a better router.
So, any opinions out there?
Thanks
