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.

$550 for that particular Jet seems way too much. Don't get me wrong,
the older Jets (blue paint job) are strong workers. Fact is that about
five years ago I scored a Jet (same vintage) cabinet saw at a local
garage sale for $400. Even came with a great aftermarket fenc.

Heavy sucker that works like a charm, tweaked it so everything is dead
nuts on and it stays that way. For that $550 you should be able to do
better, even if it's an older vintage Unisaw.

I wouldn't give him more than $350-$400 for that saw on a good day.

Bottom line: Quality is there but the price ain't
