Acquired in a private sale. I installed new motor bearings even though it performed great as purchased. This has been my go-to rip saw for over a year. Great dust collection and has a shortstop. It's not pretty but gets the job done and that is all I care about. A word about dust collection; For those of you who are thinking of purchasing a saw like this or the 88 in the non-sliding version, the only reason the dust collection works so well is that it doesn't have the sliding table. I have way too many sliding table saws and they are all super cool...until you rip a lot of material with them..the dust collection is horrible on sliding saws (at least olivers, and I've owned or own every version except the 290). Ideally one would have the space for at least two saws so you could have the best of both worlds. While they are not as cool, if most of you tablesaw work is ripping, go with a non-slider.
