Am I Asking too much?

It's a shame to see such a great machine just sitting there like that looking so alone and lost. Sorry you don't use it. Someone will surely take it off your hands but I think the price is a little high. I'm judging that only on what I paid for mine a couple of years ago. I got my big yeller machine and stand and light for less than 300.00 dollars. By the way, why don't you use it? I see there's a good supply of blades there and you've probably got some wood laying around. Maybe health reasons or something. Just being a little nosey I guess. Take care and I hope you change your mind and get back to making some saw dust with a great saw. David

perhaps pics without the dust- then people could better judge the condition. BTW- a brand new one these days is around $450 incl stand and light so price may be a bit high.

Thanks for the input.

I'll throw this out there then...FOR SALE .... BEST OFFER!

The reasoning behind the sale is that I just have found no use for it in the style of work I do.

Piqued your interest, look here:

very nice work!
Of course you do realize that about 5 minutes after the saw is out the door- you'll find a need for it! Doesn't that happen with everything?

Synpainter · 10-23-2007, 11:54 AM

Janette, You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! Haha...But I figure I have done little more than move this unit from one end of the shop to the other for the past 2 years...so ...

Anyway here are some better shots, well, cleaner at least

I'd give you $225 for it if you would hold it until June when I will be out to the SAW expo in Wilmington Ohio . with the 4h kids. I could use another! Dale

Like that cherry bench fior instance? Would have looked nice with the welcome sign scrolled in. I like your work, but maybe you should keep that 788 and let your imagination free. You might just use that saw after all, lol.

I've never tried furniture making, but it's on my "to do" list.
