Bought this in the spring of 2021. It was part of a lot that was being sold and included a table saw, dust collector, and radial arm saw that I didn't want and were in various states of disrepair. Bought everything for $1000,cost me $100 in fuel and $150 for a new trailer tire to pic it all up, so $1250 total. Sold the other pieces and got $900 back, so I own this for an easy $350. Going to pull it apart as far as I dare, clean & paint, replace bearings, considering having the table ground flat (don't know that it needs it, but it would clean it up and I'd have a known flat table) and put it to work. 7.5 HP 3 phase Baldor motor.
