Hi Guys,
I haven't been around much, but I had to sign in to mention this IRS Auction. This is not my machine. It's 4+ hours drive from me, but I was still going to bid it up to 3000.
However, I put a bid in on a new SawStop today, and surprisingly, I won that for under 2000, so I won't bid on this machine. Still tempted to bid just for the jointer, but . . . my wife might kill me before I got to use either of them.
PLEASE, someone check this out if you are looking for a sliding table saw or a 12" jointer. This has both of those, with 4.8HP single phase motors.
The last CU300 that sold on ebay went for $4500 on a buy it now with local pick up. The lowest priced one on ebay now has an opening bid of $6999 (although it is the 8' sliding table. The one in Hickory is the 5 1/2' sliding table version.)
I spoke to the owner of company because I wasn't sure if it had single phase motors. The listing isn't clear, which may be why the bid is currently under 2k. The owner assured me it is a single phase machine, and said it was barely used. He got if from a university professor I think. You can call and confirm that it's single phase for yourself.
Anyway, this could be a fantastic buy for someone with a small shop looking for a high end multi-machine.
Happy Holidays!
Todd
