510 Floating Table Upgrade

[wdelliott]

Has anyone determined how much one needs to pay for a 510 floating table on e-bay along with the 520 upgrade parts from SS to end up with a 520 floating table at a lesser cost than purchasing the floating table from SS directly?

If I am reading correctly, the new 520 floating table from SS (522468) costs $172.11.

The parts needed to upgrade a 510 floating table would seem to be:
Front rail assembly with magnet (522467) $43.34
Rear rail assembly (518491) $30.17
Total $73.51

Thus, if one could purchase a 510 floating table on e-bay for less than $99.00, then one could end up with a 520 floating table for less than a new one.

Does this math seem correct to everyone?

Those are the catalog prices and your math does add up.

If you buy tables on ebay, be careful. There are some losers out there.

Just a Note: Floating Table 522368 ($172.11) = Table and Rails and Mounting Hardware. You gotta buy the mounting hardware too.

I asking because I'm curious, but what are the advantages of the 520 floating tables without the 520 upgrade to the main table and the 520 fence?

Methinks obtaining an additional 520 floating table is the objective.

If you do not need the magnetic strip you should be able to get a 520 table from feebay delivered for under $99.

Thanks everyone. I am interested in a third floating table just for the extra expansion possibilities.

Mention was made of freebay and $99.00. What is freebay? Is this short hand for eBay? If so, I do not see many 520 floating tables there.

Feebay is short for Ebay. You have to sell on Ebay to appreciate the nickname. They do it a nickel and a dime at a time...insertion fee, picture fee, final value fee, final value fee on shipping...... Oh and then of course there is Paypal also owned by Feebay, er I mean Ebay, that takes their cut....over 5% on a $10 item.

In short, there is no FREEbay!!!!

Still I have seen 520 floating tables go such that with shipping it would be under $99. The key is patience, persistence and self control.
