I started hunting on CL for a good deal on a table saw to get into woodworking. A few months later I've missed out on a couple, and ended up with deals on a Compound Miter Saw and now a SS instead. Oh well.
Anyway, the owner claimed it was never used, just sat in a garage and then storage after a move. From what I can tell its an older one, US made, probably 1997. The top is pretty rusty unfortunately, so that will take a lot of cleaning. Hopefully I can salvage it. Came with the stand as well. Haven't done any testing other than flipping the switch.
I'll post pictures soon. Anyone have advice for cleaning off 10 years of rust? They'd tried steel wool and that had smoothed it out but hadn't removed it all. I was thinking mineral oil and a scothbrite pad, but this might need more than that. This being my first SS, I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions.
Update: turns out it was a Type 1, even better
