Good one ?

[Eplfan2011]

Going to buy this saw, just want to check it's one of the good ones.

 It looks in mint condition with the stand $300. It's a black one but does have made in Taiwan on the plate. I'll take a blade and a scrap of wood to test it, I'd appreciate your input as my knowledge of these is sketchy at best

Yes this looks like it could be a decent deal. The tables on these are painted and can be helpful in deciding how much use it has had. Hard to tell in these pictures as they're small and don't give a clean shot of the table top. But you get the idea.. paint worn completely off = well used.. hardly any scratches.. probably lightly used.. Now, not to say they didn't repaint or use a magnet sheet on the table top to prevent scratches.. 

I'd say the price is right if it appears to have very little wear, heck.. a lot of them bring this or close to it with a lot of wear.. 

Edit to add: This could be a scammer unless you seen this in Michigan.. The same exact photos of this listing on FB Marketplace have showed up in other cities around the US.. I watch classifieds like a hawk.. so just beware this is all over the USA.. maybe your seller is the right one and someone stole pictures.. I've been watching the same saw for a few weeks now.. they've lower the price recently..

Well I dropped him a line as it's not that far away from me, I'm always careful about buying online, I'd want to drive over and see it and pay cash, no Venmo or such .....

Was also looking at a 40 694 still in the box (Opened) for a couple of hundred near me.

I'd snap it up, if it was within 6 hours or so of me. Taiwan are the goodn's.

Kevin if you click on the pics, then click on them a second time they blow up to quite a good size, and the table looks almost brand-new.
From the pics, I'd hazard guess that it doesn't know the meaning of work

Delta is not good at parts & service. Caution.

That one is from back when General International was selling them... Should be a good one.

Well, no new post of a new saw so I assume they never answered you? Being that photo was used in many ads on FB by different people I suspected it to be a scam or fishing for emails and or more profiles to hack, LOL

Sorry I did mean to post that I never received a reply lol. I did make good use of the money I didn't spend though, upgraded my magnifier light, new cheap HF stool/chair and ordered a airbrush from Amazon

The last of the good excaliburs. What Kevin said about the tables is very true. Here's mine after 2 years
