Now Fred are you going to let another great deal get away from you ? Less then 3 hours from you ? That is a quick day trip for you. Cleaned and service would be a great deal ! :)

Waiting around on a bargain is a bad idea. I'm still kicking myself for some good bargains that I let get away.

Rest assured I wouldn't have posted that find if I really wanted it for myself. I knew that rascal from the other side of The Woodlands would jump on it if he really wanted it :)

A 510 for $600 OBO. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/ ... 57146.html

Don't be fooled by the 500 extension table in this photo:

Image

Study the jumble of parts in the third photo; I see a 510 main table/fence,a 510 extension table, at least one 510 floating table plus a band saw, scroll saw and strip sander. Also maybe a jointer. Many other bits and pieces.

The scroll saw, strip sander, a couple of sanding discs and a whole bunch of disc sandpaper somehow made their way to my basement. I told the guy to relabel his ad as a 510 in order to attract more interest.

They're doing some interesting work in there, building some tables out of power equipment stands for a new bar several miles from me. I might just have to check out their work in the wild.

Looks incomplete but free makes it a bargain, right?
