    Richard's Electromatic

    Saw this on local CL tonight. Got the look of a precision piece of equipment. No way i could buy it, but it looks like something a single guy could make a dining table from. For those who have used one, is it what it looks like?

          Tis only 640 on ebay

          From what I've read about this thing, it was quite the tool. Regretfully, my budged for new saws is about 3.30

              It doesn't look like it has a throat plate, so I don't see how you could do a beveled cut with that. Nor do I see a way to have a ZCTP in there for chipout reduction.

              It looks impressive though. But for $1200, I'd save up a bit more for a modern cabinet saw.
