    Delta 28-682 $700 + shipping

    Reviews on Amazon seem pretty mediocre, but FrozenWarrior says the lowest price prior has been $1300, quite a difference.

    Price is about $700 plus $150 shipping.

    Comments??

    Never met a bargain I didn't like.

    Bleh. Its such an old model that it doesnt have a lot of current standard features, though it does have quick tension.

    Sounds like you would need to plan on replacing upper and lower guides. Look for Carter replacement and see how much those would be. With the improved guides you should be ok. My guess is those guides would be around $200. Makes saw $1050 which is a price range that has a lot of competition.

      I'm thinking about this one, because I may be able to get one CHEAP. I can look to upgrade the guides, but I am more concerned by the one review on Amazon that says I'll kill myself trying to install a 1-1/4" resaw blade on it. Anybody here have this saw and tried this little chore?
