Last summer I picked up a brand-new never used (but fully assembled) 510 with unassembled bandsaw still in the box. I purchased it from an older gentleman who bought it in March 1999 who parked it in his garage and never so much as plugged it in. Anyway, after installing the bandsaw's table, I'm loo...

Spend 6 months rewiring, re-plumbing from scratch (including well pump). All floors, walls and ceilings... Keep op...

This summer we just purchased a brand-new (but first bought in 1999 by a local fellow), never-used 510 with bandsaw, lathe tools, blades, accessories and safety kit for $500 here in central Washington state. I understand prices vary considerably by region though.

Ok thanks! I didn't know I needed 4 of those tubes. I do have the two telescoping legs. I set up the table saw for the first time today and cut a couple boards for mounting a mailbox to a post. I definitely need to clean and wax all the chrome tubes and spend a little time aligning things and gettin...

Hello, We are new to this forum. We just got a 510 at a garage sale this past weekend. It was built in March of 1999, but has NEVER been used! The power cord is still rolled up as it came from the factory, the bandsaw was still factory-sealed in its box, and almost all the parts and documentation is...
