Default Reconditioned Tools

I've been hesitant to buy reconditioned tools, the ones that have been
reconditioned by the factory. However, I'm considering a Delta
reconditioned scroll saw, the 40-570R from Amazon.

Anyone have good experiences with reconditioned tools?


My DeWalt SCMS is a refurb. Saved me $100 and even came with a better
blade than what I see at the big box stores. It's been a good tool for me
so far. I've had it about a year and built my son's fort/swing set
with it.

I almost bought a refurb DeWalt planer, but it doesn't come with the dust
hood and extra knives like the new one. After adding that stuff to the
refurb, it's the same price as a new one. So sometimes buying new is
better.
