Hi all, I just got a used (new to me though!) radial arm saw, have adjusted, cleaned and tested it until I am pleased, and am now looking to buy a dado set for it. My question is whether it is wise or not to purchase a pre-owned (used) dado stack from ebay, or from anywhere, for that matter.
Is there any particular condition of the blades, or any of the chippers, that would be a go/no-go, or is it flatly BAD to buy used blades?
Let me ask this from another perspective: if a person has limited funds for woodworking, would it be better to buy a new budget stack from a place like Harbor Freight, or a used Freud stack from eBay/Craigslist, for around the same price?
Thanks,
Shane
