    Mortiser gloat

    Found a general 75-050m1 for 150.00. Looks like it has never been used. Looks very nice indeed in my workshop. Same guy was selling a clear view cyclone for 700. Very frustrated, as I can not figure out a way to fit it in my shop. Even outside won't work. Came with a starter, a remote, and a ton of duct. Argh.
    just thought I'd gloat a wee bit.

    You didn't buy it... no pic didn't happen...

    Hypothetically, that is certainly gloat worthy.
    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    Pic to come. I can't believe it myself, frankly. It is light years beyond the delta it's replacing. Best part, I sold the delta for 150. So I guess it was free.

    Great price. I bought a barely used Jet for about the same price and I thought that I got a pretty good deal, you win hands down!!

    This goes beyond "you suck" I think it is actually an "I hate you" I just paid 500 for a new one after watching cl for almost a year.

    Nice score.
    Why do you think the cyclone won't fit in your shop? is it because of height? I've a basement shop and have fit it there (with a 93" ceiling).

    Don't rub it in. There was no way I could fit it in my shop. Or put it outside. Seriously upset about that to be sure.

    For the doubters here is the mortiser. Sorry it's so crappy, blackberries are lousy cameras.

    So can I gloat now?

    I have an 87" ceiling even through the joists above the garage. it would have been too tight.
