Thanks for the input on my earlier post. I'm going to look at this one tomorrow:

It's a Craftsman, vintage 1940s. Owner says it weighs about 100 pounds and is almost vibration free.

I'll run some 6/4 walnut through it and see how it behaves. Anything else I should be looking for?

Check this one out, Larry.

VS Delta with foot control for $200 or go whole hog with the Hegner 22V
for $800!

That's a good price on the Hegner with the variable speed. From the
picture I see that it had the quick release/tensioner. Makes it a snap
to change out the blades.
