Need Quick Help, Delta X5 Unisaw Advise

[Ken Massingale]

I can get a like new X5 with 52' Biesemeyer fence, 3hp, 230volt, left tilt, brand new mobile base, has about 10 hours run time, the base and fence has never been installed.
It was run the 10 hrs. with a power feeded.

Good deal? or can I do better with $1100 to spend?

 

[Travis Porter]

I would say you could do better. Not a bad deal, but I wouldn't say great either.

If I were looking to buy a table saw I would jump at this one. I bought one just like it back the first part of the year and have no regrets what so ever. With the economy there may be some that will sell theirs a litle cheaper but I can not see anythiong wrong with getting a ~$2000.00 saw for $1100.00 JMTCW

That is a good deal. I bid on some at govdeals that were over 30 years old. there were 5 of them at Columbus county schools. I did not get one, they all went for over $750.00. they had the standard unifence. see what they want for the power feeder.

Offer $1000.00 cash in hand. The sight of money is a great motivator.

Thanks guys.
Looks like I'm taking a road trip tomorrow!

Other option is a Grizzly g0691. 1215$ shipped (no mobile base) (price in wood magazine). Positives are new/warranty and a riving knife. This is what I am considering. Just trying to figure out if I can actually fit 50" rails. Oh... and I don't really like Bieseymer fences. They are smooth and lock tight but I would like the unifence design where you can make the fence short or the Biesemyer clone's that allow you to screw on UHMW plastics or sacrificial fences (instead of clamping them on).
