Well, I just got back from Redmond's Open House, which is going on today through Saturday (OK, look, I'm not affiliated in any way shape or form), and man, have they got some fantastic deals on current products, discontinued stuff, and scratch and dent deals.
Thought long and hard about the door buster on reconditioned X-5 Unisaws (left tilt, yadda yadda) for $1,249. Since I have a Beismeyer fence, I could have omitted the one that came with it, and paid $1,000 for it. The delta guy said the proce was hard to beat, but then again, my wife would beat me pretty hard if I pulled the trigger on that one. Anyway, I got a great deal on a "scratch dent" Delta 50-875 air filtration unit....$165..complete with remote. Not bad.
Of particular note, they have a lineup of misfit tools in the back that are looking for homes. close to 10 Unis that are incomplete in some way (missing fences, guards, splitters, and miter gauges) for $500!!! Scotty Redmond told me that they're "AS IS" and ...meaning that the trunnions may be broken, might be missing other internals, etc. They had a load of lunchbox planers (Delta 22-580s and some Powermatics) for $100...again "AS IS".
Worth a look if anyone's got time and money.
