      I can't comprehend a blade that size. If I had one of those in my shop, every time it would get turned on, the neighborhood would suffer a brown out.

        It would fit in my basement. If I knocked a few walls down.

          About a year ago I bought some cutoffs from a local cabinet shop. They had machines like this to turn out cabinet boxes and doors. It's probably the only way to compete with big box stores.

            Mark just emailed me that link and said our anniversary is coming up .
            I told him that I would need a piece of jewelry that costs just as much before I would ever consider it. Or maybe I would go for a big lathe so that I can start turning pens.

              I don't understand how, even splitting the costs four ways, a group of woodworkers can "lightly" use this machine for 89 years and now be needing another one, at $22,000 used price a new one must be over $30K.

              I mean how can they justify a new machine if this one is lightly used? Can't be worn out, can't imagine its too small.

                If I could afford that, my shop would be a minimum of 60 X 60. When I worked for the CHP we had Cabinet shop that built all squad funiture for the area offices. They had one and it was fun to watch. They also had a large CNC router set for doing Melamine, that thing would cut, dado, rabbit and dirll the shelf pin hole for a whole cabinet in about 30 minuets. Then the had a edge bander that was something else also. Trouble was none of it was made in America all in Europe. They still did some stuff the traditional way. Their was about 90 x 90 and had a room off to the side for finishing. I will have to post the picture of my Retirement present that was built in the shop using all the different machines. I did assemble and finish it though.

                  Probably, but you would have to rent a crane to lift your house off the foundation and then lower the saw in and put your house back on top.

                    The scoring saw motor alone could power most contractor saws.

                      now this is a tablesaw

                      Probably wanting to sell this machine because of business expenses. They probably can't write it off their operating expenses( taxes) any longer, so they would have to buy a new machine to justify the expenditure to the IRS.
