Hello again folks,
I thought that I might start a new thread as my original one regarding this used table saw was getting a little long. A short recap. Used Delta 36-320C. Original asking price $150. My offer of $100 was accepted (sight unseen). So, here is how my adventure went:
1) Agreed to meet with the seller yesterday morning.
2) Made it clear from the outset that I may or may not purchase the saw depending on it's condition. No hard feelings!
3) After chatting it up with the gentlemen for a while it was time to get down to business.
4) Before I ever got around to powering up the saw I began tinkering with the fence. See video for how it moved around and did not lock into place properly.
5) Went no further. Told him I would pass. His response: "How about I make you a deal?" I will give it to you free of charge, otherwise I am putting it out on the curb.
6) Really ??? Decision, decisions, decisions!
7) Alright then. He helped me load it up into the SUV and off I went. Yes, yes. I know that I should have had him plug it in before leaving.
8) To say that I am a risk taker would be an understatement.
9) Set it up this morning with my son-in-law. A little house keeping and we proceeded to fasten the top to the stand and we were off to the races.
10) Checked for any blade wobble, ran the cranks all the way to full position and back...smooth,
10) Ripped a short 4" piece of MDF right down the middle. Smooth and clean. Only wish there was a splitter installed though. Considering a custom insert plate with MicroJig system for peace of mind.
