Absolutely suck big time.

[Harold Shay]

That is a great score. I think the little jet in the backgrkound will feel overwhelmed by that big 4 bagger. I don't envy you when it comes time to empty the bags. (cough, cough):D:D

Nice job!

I liked the poly conveyor when I had my Performax - spendy but you only install it once.

[Jeff Sudmeier]

You sir suck!! Litteraly with the new dc and you suck that you found the sander, I would love to have one!!

[Ben Martin]

Yes, yes you do suck! Congrats!

[Paul Johnstone]

Someone call the police.. you stole these :)

You'll love the Supermax sander..

[Matt Benton]

I'd mount the motor and impeller on top of one of the $190 cyclone bodies on Ebay. With this setup you could exhaust outside. You'd have a $300 cyclone dust collector with no bags to empty. Smaller footprint, too...

+1 - exactly what I was about to say. Or build a Pentz design yourself.

Major you Suck! ;)

You're very lucky on that drum sander...

I've been scouring CL for months and the deals have been sour at best.

[Peter Aeschliman]

Okay aren't you going to explain how you got that kind of a deal??

[Wayne Watling]

I usually dont read these gloat type threads anymore because I'm always left feeling so envious. This is the last time, I'm never going to click on another gloat thread again!

[John Harden]

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mike Cruz]

[brett gallmeyer]

Thanks for all the You suck comments. lol.

So here is a general reply to everyone...

I allways watch ebay and craigslist. I've been on the hunt for a +6" jointer for a while without much luck. I recently moved back home to indiana. My father just got done building a 30x40' shop. He has gotten into woodworking since he retired and i've been doing it for a living for about 2 years now. I moved all my tools into his shop so he would have better stuff to work with. :) I allways keep an eye out for tool upgrades.

About 1 week ago my older model grizzly dc threw a bearing in the motor so i've been hunting for a 1-2hp motor for it. I just happend to check craigslist localy the other night and spied the add for both of these items so of course i jumped on it! email the guy from 2 different email addresses.

talked to him on the phone the next day, and went to pick them up that night. they were in much better condition that what i expected. I guess he purchased them from a gentlemen selling his whole shop 2 years ago. Thats what he paid for them and thats what he was asking. he actually had someone offer him more money but he said i contacted him first... :)

I've considered doing the cyclone option, and may do it in the future..

oh and not to gloat some more, but here are two more scores i've had lately..

Picked up a delta dc-33 planer about a month ago for $400... Needed a little cleaning up, but here is a pic before i took it apart. its a beast! and purrs like a kitten now.

Also stopped by the local woodcraft and snagged a case of 1 1/4" wood screws. 9000 screws for $25.00! original price $150!

[Mike Cruz]

Nice score on both of those, too. Oh, and nice sized shop to be working in. ;)
