So I see this ad in Craigslist for a 12" Table Saw for $125. Craftsman,
it says. Older model it says. Only about 30 minutes away. So I say I'd
like to see it if it's still available. About 8 hours later, a reply with
a phone number and a note "It's still available". So I call. The guy who
answers sounds like he's in his twentys or thirtys. Doesn't seem to know
a lot about the saw. "It came from a machine shop or something." "Yes,
it's available." "Yes, it runs." "I'm moving."

So off I go. Thirty minutes later I'm looking at an old 12" Craftsman
band saw. The guy calls it a table saw. Sometimes he calls it a bandsaw.
The words seem interchangable to him. I politely decline, and return to
my car, secure in the knowledge that....If it seems too good to be true,
it probably is.


Was that guy, Bruce Johnson, from the DIY channel??? He is clueless as to
what a RAS is.
