View Full Version : What does $100 buy these days? (small gloat)

In my case, $100 bought a benchtop hollow chisel mortiser, a 12" drill press w/ vise, a 12" disc sander, and a rolling clamp stand full of clamps. The ad that caught my eye was the mortiser w/ extra chisels for $15. Everything appears to be in new condition. I tested out the mortiser on a scrap of 8/4 mesquite, and it cut through like it was butter. I will need to replace the cheesy table and hold downs though.

The clamps are still in my truck, so no pic, but there's about 18 bar clamps of various lengths, 12 smaller spring clamps, 18 C clamps (mostly 6"), 2 screw clamps, 2 long parrellel jaw clamps, and a couple of specialty clamps. Gotta love craigslist!
