VS520 and BandSaw and ? for $500

Post by fredsheldon »

Looks like a 520. Can't see anything other than the Bandsaw. Might be worth something for someone wanting to upgrade from a 500 to 520. In Austin.

Damn - why don't these deals ever happen within a 1-day drive of me? I'd want it just for the 500>520 upgrade

Hope he finds the rest of it by Then.;)


Geez he must be an old geezer selling it. He understands 'first refusal'.

Jerry, if it's in good shape it probably will be sold, but if not, it might be worth the drive over to Austin. If you don't have a truck we could rent a small trailer and hook it up to my Airstream RV and go get it. :)

I've only known you for less than a week and see what kind of influence you have on people. LOL

Apparently the seller is not a user - the pulleys are mounted incorrectly.

What's in de box? A saw blade/arbor, table insert, miter gauge and rip fence would be nice.;)

Regardless $100 is a decent price. I would haggle down if that stuff is missing.
