Worth the money? Power? Resaw ability?
I just added the 28-303 to my shop the 14 is in great shape and has set for 10 years in garage. After tearing it down yesterday, I could see it had a 3/4 Delta Motor any thoughts about using this saw to resaw? Is it powerful enough? The saw has all org. parts and paid $350.00. The guy said his dad bought it new paid $1800.00 15 yrs ago. Humm, that don't sound right to me... Most parts i believe are USA made except the bearings upper and lower have Japan stamped on them. Saw is a Pittsburgh product. Motor is USA. Platen and trunnions are USA. Might be a USA saw,lol...Is there any reason to beef up the motor are live with?
Will post a pic if anyone wants a eyeball on it...
