Post: RE: Advice selling tablesaw

I'd say sell it with the fence. You'll lose a lot of potential buyers by selling a saw without a fence installed. The price is hard to say... 3hp cabinet saw asking prices are all over the map here...

I bought the Bosch 20VSC over a year ago and it has been great. The included dust collection works very well. It replaced a PC ROS that I also loved. The sanding was the same but the dust collectio...

If I said I didn't think they were worth the money, I didn't mean that. My feeling is that there is an argument to be made that you can get as good of a cut with a blade that was half the price. The...

Yeah-I do not know if they are worth the money-that is relative. Made in USA is a selling point for me. I have an Amana 40 tooth on my saw now and it does a fine job at half the price of the WW2 40 ...

I've never sent a blade out to get serviced until my WW2 40 tooth needed some work.  The red blades have been my go to and I just used them until I tossed them or made scrapers out of 'em.  Several br...

I have had a HF one for probably 15 years. I think I have replaced the hose once. It works fine. I bought a Campbell Hausfeld 50 foot one a few months back. For 50 or 60 bucks, it works well and I...

Just ordered some ducklings to add to our 3 chickens. No, it doesn't make financial sense. We, as humans with disposable income and time do that. Eggs are good too.

Wire wheel/brush and some oil for good measure. You can get into electrolysis or chemical brews if you'd like but more trouble than it is worth IMO.
