Table tilts 45* Right ans 10* Left, Foot Brake - 4"

probably a good deal if you need that much saw.

Could probably re-saw a telephone pole with that thing...

Couple of thoughts- value is what someone is willing to pay, normally half of new is good for an item in good shape that's not too old.
I'd check to make sure it's not 3phase motor. I know some folks buy & use such motors with convertor equipment but it's an additional expense and not real energy efficient.
