dvdneal Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Just introducing myself. I've done scrolling on and off for about 10-15 years. Mostly just ornaments that I hand out at Christmas time. I've always used cheap machines like Craftsman or Ryobi. My last, a donated Ace saw finally took a dive so I'm looking for something in a good used machine. Judging by the reviews my choice seems to be Dewalt, RBI, Excalibur, and a couple Deltas. Looking on craigslist I can find a 20 year old RBI for about $250 and just wanted to know if anyone out there thinks it's a decent deal? Thanks Dave amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Dave, You a gambler? $250... what do you know about it? Pay $50 to test it for a week and if it runs well then pay the other $200. Oh, glad you decided to upgrade... ....continuing, I know nothink about RBI except it's a good stat in basebell.... ball That's my plug nickels worth.

ike Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 I wouldn't go for any t;hing 20 years old. I just bought a Dwelt 788 for #159 it was about 7 years old but never used much I bought it from a woman who Hus bin died a couple years age, I know the woman and sh is an honest person. This was a good buy most run about $250 to $300. any way welcome to the village . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepy Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 That sounds a little steep for a saw that old unless its in excellent shape. The Hawk is now made in KS so parts should not be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
