robjeffking Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Well Ive been buying out this retired woodworker's shop like a Dw733-$100, Jet D/C $75, Dovetail jig P/C omnijig with P/C router-$75, Jet 46" jointer $100 and various other odds and ends but the 1 thing he wont budge on is the G0555 1 hp. He started out at 500 I explained to him thats what a new one cost but its in prestine shape I finally got him down to 300 and he gave me some really good deals on the other things He leaves for his new home in the mountains on tuesday and I'll never have this chance again Im thinking Im only saving 200 over a brand new one without a warranty but I have agreed to think over his last offer what should I do? It would be a huge upgrade to what Im using now a older 12inch 3/4 hp craftsman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtooley75 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Yeah, I think that's a really good deal especially when you have to figure in shipping, a mobile base (if you need one), and a riser kit for a brand new one. I was looking at this model as well but woodcraft has a sale right now on a Rikon 14" deluxe BS that's normally almost 1k and it's selling for $750 so I pulled the plug on that one.
