Scrolling Steve Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Randy, as long as the refurbished saw has the New saw warranty it would be worth a chance IMHO ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have several "refurbished" tools and the DeWalt scroll saw I had was refurbished. I have never had a problem with any refurbished tool I have purchased to date. That being said I have never had a refurbished Delta tool. Mine were DeWalt and Makita.

WayneMahler Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Normally refurbished by the manufacturer comes with a 1 year warranty. Worth checking to be sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have purchased Dewalt orbital sander and trim size router refurbished. I am happy with them and the price. I wore out the disc pad on the sander and have replaced it without problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I think dang near every tool in my shop is refurbished.. Most are getting quite old now too and never a problem yet.. Only new tools are the Dewalt scroll saw and the Grizzly band saw.. All, sanders, my old scroll saw ( dremel ) miter saw cordless drills etc.. all refurbs.. and my Dewalt would have been a refurb too but I bought it from grizzly during a sale and it was priced slightly below what the refub was so I went new.. My ryobi planer is a refurb and I've run the snot out of it..and it's about 8-10 years old.. though last couple times I used it I thought it was sounding funny ( motor ).. but... I got my $100 out of it a long time ago.. yeah thats right $100 from a outlet store.. don't normally go to those but it was on a vacation trip low and behold they had a tool store that I almost bought one of everything, LOL I wouldn't be scared to buy refurbished as long as the price points and warranty are decent.. which most times they are.. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Think about it, a lot of "refurbished" tools are returned to the store tools, they are checked, tested completely before being put up for sale as "refurbished", more than you can say for a new tool right out of the box... The ones returned because they were broke or didn't work properly are repaired and checked, tested completely before resale as "refurbished". Anytime I need a tool anymore I look for "refurbished" first. I believe the 180 day warranty Is correct, at least on the ones I purchased, but that has never been a factor to me. Looks at the new tools you buy that claim to has a warranty of "x" years, then try to get decent service on that warranty. The only warranty I put stock in is how long I have that I can return it to the store for my money back or a replacement. That is usually 30 days. Just my opinion.

kywoodmaster Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I have a refurbished belt sander and drill that are close to 30 years old and I don't baby them. With a refurbish all the problems have already been corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Some times the guarentee is shorter than a one for a new product, be sure before you buy. IKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye10 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Some thoughts on refurbished ? I see a delta manufacturer refurbished That would save me about. $ 90 dollars ... I buy from a company called CPO and they sell reconditioned tools as well as new tools. I bought a reconditioned router from them and it was still not right. I had one at my house the next day. I live about 30 miles east of Nashville so I am not that far but still that is great service. I turned around and shipped the router in the box that my replacement came in. They shipped me a shipping label and UPS came to the house and picked it up. This is the second time they have done this. The first time was for something else but I can't remember. http://www.cpooutlets.com/reconditioned/reconditioned,default,sc.html Edited March 2, 2017 by hawkeye10 amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl S Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) I have also bought several Recon. tools from CPO and they have been like new and I have not had a problem with any of them They are a good company to deal with I believe.
