I've been blessed with several great tool deals and finally took the camera with me to the shop last night and got the proof!
First deal was this '80s Craftsman shaper, 3/4 HP, came with 12-15 cutter profiles. Got it from my FIL's friend who fired it up once but never ran anything through. $150
113416
Next I landed this 60 gallon PC with a new DeWalt motor, he only wanted $250 (considering a cheap oil-less Craftsman 30gal runs $300 ...)
113417
Of course that meant I needed something other than a blowgun to use for it, scored this like new DeWalt 16ga brad for $60 (retails $140)
113418
Then came the ultimate deal, 3 tools for whatever computer parts I could rub together to build a working machine (and I have tons of these lying around). This guy's inhereted them from his uncle and he just had 'em in his shop taking up space he needed for his new 4-wheelers.
First is a Craftsman router table mounted to a large stand.
113421
The router looks in great shape and came with a couple odd bits loosely stored in a metal box (will have to test to see if the edges are salvageable).
