Excalibur 21 (looks mint) on Craigslist (Hudson WI)

[Blaughn]

There is an Excalibur 21 for sale on Craigslist that looks like it is unused for $650.  If I hadn't already purchased mine, I would be all over this.  https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/tls/6199443220.html

If where you live is like it is here very few good scroll saws come up for sale. I bet it don't last long.

Great saw, hope some one on here is close.  I rarely see Ex's on the Northwest Craigslists.  Fact I have only seen one.

Looks like the anniversary issue.  I purchased one about three years ago.

If it wasn't 6 hours away and I had a little more $$$...........  Sigh.

It IS in MINT condition. e-mailed back and forth with the Dude a few times. Finally, this morning, we talked on the phone. He explained why he was selling it and that they used it about 10-15 times. I asked him if he was firm on the price and he said, "no, why don't you make me an offer". So I did, and he accepted. I told him I live an hour and a half away, and I'll come look at it and if it's in good shape I'll buy it.

Holy crap!  The table top doesn't have nary a scratch on it.  No sawdust to speak of in the nooks and crannies,and it purrs like a kitten, the nickel didn't budge. I bet it doesn't have five hours on it.  He showed me the receipt and it was dated 2/7/17.

Now I have two EX-21's.  One for the basement when it's cold outside, and one for the garage when it's nice out.

A special thanks to Bruce for posting it

Believe me, unless someone was using an accessory table, the tables on the Excaliburs do not lie.  If there are not gouges on the edges of the hole, and scratches around the blade hole, it hasn't been used.  I appreciate seeing an EX with the paint wore off, let's me know the saw is more than a passing fad with the owner.

Dewalts don't have the paint to indicate usage, so you just have to try them out to see how loose they are.

I hear you Hotshot, but I wish it didn't wear off quite so fast.  My Ex was scratched and warn very quickly.  Didn't hurt the scrolling, but I would have liked it to look nice.  The magnetic mat on the Seyco is a good idea, however, I and I think Doug also, find it is not as slick as we would like and waxing does not seem to help.  I may remove my mat after it gets a little more worn.  I also found out last evening that my brother-in-law and Nephew have the tools and knowledge to make me a new table if I desire, one without the extra big hole that the Seyco has.  All I have to do is buy the piece of steel plate.
