Heads Up - Bargain 'available'

[edma194]

Free Model 510 in Billerica, MA: https://boston.craigslist.org/nos/tls/d ... 00829.html

I see long double bar clamps and the jointer on the bench behind it (amongst other things, like the mitre gage and floating tables). A lathe chisel rest is on the table to the left; plus the obvious belt sander on the machine itself.

Curious to know if there is a story behind that posting.

You probably get a big box o' parts and stuff with that one. The price is great. If I had more room I'd go pick it up.

Well that did not last long!

Free Shopsmith in Plymouth MA, and it looks like one of the original models.

The keg of nails looks like a good deal too!

The Peerless Lathe is interesting. Looks very much like an old cast iron lathe I rescued from an old home about to be torn down.

Good price for a 520 - assuming good condition, and you're near Eugene Oregon to pick it up.

How about this bargain? A 510 and an used joiner for only $2100

No pictures but what a description! "Excellent condition" should make worth 3 times the asking price for any old 510, right?

Shop Smith Mark 5 Model 510 Reconfigurable Power-tool in excellent condition. It is much more than a power tool. It is actually a complete woodworking system.

It features an easy speed adjustment at the turn of a dial (750 to 5500 RPM). These Machines operate in either Horizontal or Vertical mode. The Horizontal machine is used as a Table Saw, Disk Sander, Lathe or Horizontal Boring machine. The Vertical machine is used as a Drill Press or Drum Sander (accessories not included but easily obtained). These are a very versatile tool that can become a different machine in a sec (or the turn of a hex wrench). The addition of this tool will give you a very robust Woodworking shop in a relatively small space. Tools, manuals and a 4” Jointer (never used) included

ShopSmith, an American company, makes a very high-quality product.

Ever notice that when a 'bargain' is posted here, it's listing becomes deleted???

I check Craigslist every morning for Shopsmith (and Shop Smith) listings. The one I linked only showed up yesterday, and it must have been seen and bought by someone else watching for good buys. The planer was stand alone for under $500, and the DC was about $150 or so. Hope a fellow forum member was the lucky buyer!

There is another DC listed in the Houston area that might be bargain, but, a.) Is not in the best of shape, physically, and b.) has been listed for over a month. The price is low ($120), but it may be the seller just hasn't deleted the ad. I have not asked or inquired about it.
