I'm considering buying a used cabinet TS off Craig's List or whatever.
Aside from the obvious:
Overall condition, fit and finish
Table flatness and condition
Cranks, pulleys, &tc., smooth tilt and blade adjustment
motor and wiring
arbor run-out
bearings
What else should I look for?
Thanks a heap,

I'd start with thinking about what saw I'd want if I were buying new, then look for that model in the pre-owned market. In addition to CL, you might want to watch IRS auctions in the event there is one close to you. They seem to specialize in surplus woodworking equipment.
