Default Unisaws...Are the Old Ones "Better" than the New Ones?

True...in fact I would pose the question..."Why buy a new Unisaw when
there are used ones available?"

I talked to that point when I answered this to begin with.

For some folks, the costs, and risks, of buying used are not equal.

IF there were a low risk, reasonable cost source of used gear, then many
more folks would use it. Not every one is retired, with lots of tire-
kicking time, and unlimited resources to use, in order to buy experienced
gear. And some, many, live in old tool hell, or so they like to imagine.

The ability to buy a solid, clean, new tool, from a trusted dealer, at a
fair price, is an option that many, including me, have taken. It's easier.
quicker, and, from a time perspective, cheaper by far.

But life differs for everyone. That's why there are so many choices out
there.
