Like most everyone else - it seems like the deals just never pop up around here. So after missing all of the recent tool action on the Sears DP and the Lowes Biese fences, I finally managed to pick up a nice piece of American made iron at a good price. Woodmaster Model 612. 5 HP motor wired to 240V, it cuts smooth and clean with new blades on the machine and 2 extra sets of new blades in a box. It needs some slight re-conditioning (cleaning, table waxing, and lube), but it works well. I picked it up last week, but I knew that I had to wait to post with pics or you wouldn't believe it.
$175...

Note that the infeed table is on the top. I had to take it off for transport. It has a little green over-spray on it, but nothing that a little can of gray spraypaint can't take care of. I'll probably have to come up with a better dust collection option than the home made HVAC vent fixture in the first pic. If anyone has a manual that they want to send me/scan for me, it would be much appreciated.
