This looks really unsafe to me

[Larry Fox]

I saw this pic in a local CL add. Unless this thing is really secured to the floor well (can't tell from the pic) this might take the prize for me in the unsafe category.

What do you mean..... Cant you see that's the ORIGINAL Unisaw. So named because it only has one leg:D

[Anthony Whitesell]

Craftsman made that type of design about 50 years ago.

I actually have this saw but not on that stand, so I can't speak to stability.

Hey Larry,
I saw that last night. You're searching the same CL as I am.

I keep looking for that proverbial used Unisaw for $450 that everyone claims is out there. Haven't found it for a year.

Really,

I seem to happen upon TOO much good old iron. I cant afford to buy anything right now, as I am maxed out with tools and space.

Hi Alex,
I browse 4 CL's all withing the SE PA area.
I've been seeing rust buckets all over...stuff that belongs in the landfill.
I've seen a few good Uni's PM, Grizzly's, but no real deals, probably 10-15% below new prices.

Now I'm only looking at table saws now... I HAVE seen lot's of other good stuff- shapers, morticers, routers.. And some big tonnage 3phase planers- overkill for my needs.

That picture is strange. What is around it on the floor?

[Tom Majewski]

Looks like he forgot to shut the shed door before the snow came.

I'd hate to think it's mold.

I think you're looking at a white-washed rubble foundation in the background. I can't figure out what the benefit behind the design would be. How did they convince people this was an "advancement" in tool technology?

I think it was that round, toothed gadget that stuck up out of the table.:D

Many people are unfortunately. If you see something you have to be ready to jump on it.

Tom, I think that 99.995% of what we see on our local CL is absolute overpriced garbage. However, every once in a while something pops up there that is worth looking at. An interesting nugget also pops up on ocassion in the Materials section. Happy hunting.

Looks like cabinets hung on the studs of an insulated but not sheetrocked wall.
