Not great, but might be worth $125-150.

It has a cast iron top, but those fence rails are suspect.



Honestly, I'd rather go for that Jet you posted earlier.

The guy said he was open to offers, so maybe lowball him at $250 and see

if he counters with $300. Those old Jets are big, heavy-duty sumbiches

and can be adjusted to cut perfectly. If it's in any decent shape at all

with a decent fence, it would be a better saw than that Delta above.

So for my uses (hobbyist) and price range, I think I've settled on finding a used Jet. Any thoughts on this saw (quality and price)?

Thanks.
