Alright, I have to brag. Not sure if the sticklers will allow me to call this a gloat since I paid $200.
I just picked up a pristine Dewalt MBF radial arm saw. Bearings run smoothly, no play whatsoever, and the ways in the arm are perfect. It came with a whole bunch of blades, some molding attachments, etc. They appear to be unused. The boxes appear to be original, and in really good shape. The textured paint on the saw is in great shape. I will probably just give it a quick wipe-down.
Apparently it was owned by a doctor, who passed away a few years ago. He gave it to his neighbor when he was getting too old to use it, and that's the guy I bought it from. He had hardly used it.
I'm so excited! I'm still building out my basement shop, so it's going to be a little annoying to have to move it around while I finish. But I had to grab it before somebody else did!
Any tips on maintaining and calibrating the saw??
Apologies for the bad lighting and photo quality.
