Ping Bill, in Indiana; Anyone near Waverly, Ohio?
Bill,
About a year ago, you asked us to evaluate a Craigslist or estate auction tablesaw. Did you ever find a table saw? If you are near enough to Waverly, Ohio, there may be a saw, here, within your price range: http://irsauctions.com/index.asp?pg=...=&view=&today= A side note (rant): This factory is obviously huge. It sure must have been quite a blow to the workers/community for it to shut down.... I suspect they are/have shut down. I have purchased a few items (woodworking tools, industrial upholstery sewing machine, hardware items) from this auction site. When I went to pick up my items, I spoke with the personnel at the facilities. The companies were not retooling, they were being bought out by Chinese based franchises. Though I am retired, I am a certified upholsterer and many customers want the best built furniture. They are willing to pay for it, also. Most relatively new furniture, I've reupholstered, is foreign made and is really poor quality (frame material, foam, construction). For any of you looking to buy furniture, look into finding an old American made piece and have it reupholstered, rather than settling for this newer crap from overseas. Even the foam, in these overseas products, is inferior. I've replace lots of inferior foam from some of these, so called, "high end" recently purchased (overseas made) furniture pieces. I really dislike seeing our American furniture companies (or any American company) disappear, this way. Sorry for the rant, but some things just rub me the wrong way, sometimes. Bill, despite someone's possible/probable job loss (relative to the link), I hope you can find a saw for yourself, if you haven't found one, already. Sonny |
