Recently responded to a Craigslist ad for a double arbor, 1/2 HP motor. Older motor, and works great. A bargain at $25.
Got to talking with the seller and he mentioned that he had an old vice somewhere in his shop. Pulled out a W.C. Toles No.65 , 10" vice. Quick release with brass dogs on each jaw. Haven't measured it's max open length, but it's substantial. And this thing weighs a ton. Anyway, picked this up for $75. As I was leaving, he said he might have something else I might like and wanted give it to me. Comes back out with a miter saw kit. The back saw is a Superior, in excellent shape, about 24" long. Don't know what brand the miter rig is, but it is a nice set up. Not sure I'll use it for anything more than quick cut offs and rough work, but it's hard to say no to tools, especially when they're given to you.
Chaulk this whole experience up to a great Craigslist experience.
