In a dilemna
I just got a great buy on a hybrid table saw that I pick up on Saturday. Now I have to choose between keeping the 500 or the 510 because I don't have room for all three. I love the 510 and would love to keep it but the old greenie was given to me by my father-in-law who bought it new. The wife will say I have to keep the greenie. Would you swap the newer innards of the 510 headstock into the 500 and swap the tables or just sell the 510 as is? Since I won't need it as my primary table saw, do the larger tables of the 510 even matter?

I would break one down and hide the pieces in the attic.

if you sell it, will you be able to replace it with one you all ready know so much about ? or this could be a good thing, in a few months tell the wife you sold the old one and now ya want/need a new one ?

My wife knows Shopsmith and she does woodworking so that would never work here or ever needed. 4 Mk-V's and 5 10ER's.Hobbyman2 wrote:+1

Consider making a shorty out of the greenie or the 510.
