New here and introducing myself
Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2018 12:02 pm
Hello everyone. I am new but excited to be here. My name is Matt and I look forward to exploring everything here.
What brought me here in the first place? To make a long story short, over 3 decades ago, I bought a brand new 510 while I was rehabing a house I owned. I primarily used it as a table saw. When I sold the house (at a nice profit), I bounced around from house to house until becoming an apartment dweller and was forced to put the 510 in storage.
After moving around from apartment to apartment and moving the 510 from storage unit to storage unit, I decided to sell it on Craig's list for $400. I hated to have to do that but...
Fast forward to now.....I once again have a place to use as a workshop. My first act was to look at buying a new Shopsmith and then came the sticker shock. But not giving up, I started by buying a used 520 on CL. Actually, I bought (3) 520's in various states of disrepair.
So now the journey begins....getting at least one of these machines up and running and making saw dust.
