Hi all,
I am brand new here. I signed up for one reason, to see if I could sell this saw.
I am sorry if I am violating any forum rules by posting this. I am not a spammer or a dealer and I had never even heard of this forum until I was trying to find out how to fix this saw. If I am stepping on any toes by posting this, I sincerely apologize.
I am not here to rip anybody off, I would just like to sell this saw to someone who knows what to do with it and will appreciate just how nice of a saw it is.
I love this saw and it hurts to get rid of it. I have never used it commercially. I have used it for doing work on my own house. It has been used lightly/moderately for ripping blocking and an occasional hobby project, and only a few times a year. Other than that it sits in my shed covered with plastic. I'm not sure how long I've had it, maybe 8-10 years(?).
I am not a big hobbyist woodworker (I wish I had the time... the smell of sawdust is like catnip to me). Maybe someday after the kids are off to college I can actually build some furniture...
Why do I want to sell it? I was ripping some blocking for some crown molding in my sister in law's house, and I got a bit overzealous and was apparently ripping the blocking on the wrong side of the beveled blade Yeah, I'm an idiot. Long story short, I burned out the motor. I also discovered that the shims were bent in a curl and this is why I had trouble raising and lowering the blade.
After that, it sat unrepaired for about 2 years until I decided I need to get it fixed. After a long search I found a repair shop. They wanted $340 to fix it. Decision time. I found the parts that I need at sears for about $230 (+/_), but decided that because I have less space to keep it than I did, I would buy a smaller portable table saw and see if I could get someone to take this one off my hands.
Other than the motor and the shims, to the best of my knowledge, everything else is in good shape. As I said, other than the incident that caused the death of my sweet toy, I was reasonably gentle with it and never cut PT wood or hardwood with the exception of a half dozen oak stair treads.
The fence is accurate, I have been able to cleanly cut 3/32 inch shims from 2x4s. Granted, my assessment of what constitutes accurate is probably not what a good woodworker's assessment would be since my work is fairly crude at best.
The miter sled seems in good shape. The saw has all the original parts with it. I never invested in any of the accessories, have never used a dado or router with the table or any other after market pieces.
Here are some photos. I am not sure if this way of posting the photos works, but if not, you can contact me and I will try to send them another way.
My problem is that I have never sold a single thing online and am not sure how to go about it. I have a paypal account, but to be honest, I've never received payment through it. I also am not sure how to go about shipping this thing. I want any buyer to feel confident, but I also don't want to be ripped off myself. Any suggestions are appreciated.
You can contact me at dquidas@gmail.com.
If you are serious about it, I can give you all my contact information.
Again, if this posting is out of line, my apologies, and I will be off to craig's list with the saw. I jsut wanted to give obvious enthusiasts a whack at this before it ends up beat to death in somebody's garage or in the landfill.
thanks,
David Q
