Considering that brand name table saws come with 1-2 year warranties,
I'd never consider paying 3/4 price for one that has no warranty, no
matter what condition its in.

Might want to look at the tools with warrantees versus those which have
outserved them. The old ones were not made "good enough," they were made
for a lifetime.

At ten years, not sure where this one fits, but it's definitely not the saw
that my 25-year old, or my son's 40 year old contractors' is. Gave $250 for
his, and considered it a bargain for a saw that sold for $500 new.

Oh, wait just a minute - that was five hundred 1965 dollars....
