Make that "New additions to "the wood" shop.
Saw an ad on CL from a building contractor needing to rid themselves of machines taking up space. Got lucky on this one since it was on may day off. I was the first to arrive, but had to come back after 1PM. Showed up a few minutes early and within a few minutes, a guy pulls up with a small trailer. Quickly went in and waited for the manager to return.
The first one is a Powermatic 1140F Drill Press. It says "made in America" on the motor, but the ID tag says "made in Taiwan". Manufactured 92/04.
Paid $120
121549
The next machine I was actually only thinking about buying to replace the HF el-cheapo version. It's an American-made 14" Delta band saw. This was the machine the other guy wanted, but since I was first in line, I was the lucky new owner.
Paid$150
121547
121548
This next machine was purchased a few months ago from a guy liquidating his bed-ridden friend's wood shop. If you can't tell by the pic, It's a Grizzly Oscillating Spindle sander
Paid $325
121550
And last up is a Performax 16/32 drum sander. Needed a new conveyor belt
Paid $400. new belt $98.00
121551
Sorry for the blurry pics.
