We had to go from $500 to $1050 before I convinced this person I was pretty serious about getting a saw! And that's the dollar amount I payed--$1050+10% +7% (sales tax), in case anyone is curious. I felt like I didn't want to do any more saw shopping--and this one was only about 5 miles from home--so I thought beforehand that it wasn't going to get any easier. I met a kind person who helped me get the saw home on his trailer--I had talked with him for 10 or 15 minutes before they got to auctioning the machinery. While I was collecting parts in a plastic garbage bag that I brought with me for the occasion, he asked me if I needed any help moving the saw. And I said yes, please. And he said, where's your truck. And I said, I don't have a truck. Can we put in in yours?--I said I live close by and I will be glad to give you $100 to help me. His trailer featured a hand-powered winch-which was handy pulling it up and letting it down some improvised ramps. He did a lot of work though, securing the saw.. He got he out of a "tough jam". I thanked him and tried to hand him $100, buy him a tank or two of gas, etc. but he would only take $5 for gas. A nice guy who made a real difference, like many of you folks. Bill

The only problem I see with this post is that it's not a new thread, onto itself. Purchasing a Unisaw, with the latest model Unifence/side table, mobile base & motor cover deserves a thread all its own, with some more bragging and feel-good statements. *That extra moble base might be able to be retrofitted & used with a pending(?) jointer, too.

I'm excited for you, Bill. ^5
