If you can spend about $1,565. you can get a gen-u-wine factory
reconditioned Unisaw with a brand new Biesemeyer fence delivered to
your door.
See http://www.redmond-machinery.com/tab...onditioned.htm
I never found any evidence that mine was ever used at all.


Delta had problems, for some reason Frank ;~), with trunions about 8 years
ago. Many, after delivery were found to be broken. Yours, Donkey Hody, may
have been one of the ones returned to replace the trunion and sold as
reconditioned. A great deal for you and in deed may have never been used at
all.



More than likely not. Any that came back with that much damage were
not reconditioned but parted out in recon, parts reinspected.
Difficult to determine what hidden damage there might be or how hard a
lick it took. Vast majority of recons that make it to sales started
as inventory resets, or minor cosmetic freight damage.

But I'm talking about a different time frame. What is done now is
different and I can't talk intelligently about it.

If DH's machine came to him normally boxed, it would have been done by
B & D. In my era we would recon, test, strap it to a heavy pallet
mostly assembled, and Redmond would have to pick it up with their own
truck. That would eliminate the cost of tear down and rebox after
test, and the heavy pallets were free, we had to pay to get rid of
them.

Redmond good people to deal with. They held our recon lead in high
regard, tried to hire him when the plant closed.
