Tool Gloat

[bobby g]

I just finished installing the Shop Fox oscillating edge sander that I bought from Bill Pappas over the weekend. :icon_thum I'd been looking for a machine like this, in this size & condition, for about 2 years! Thanks to Bill for the opportunity to buy it and best of luck to him in his retirement move to Florida. He is a real gentleman and has great taste in tools. Also a big thanks to eyekode for borrowing a trailer and allowing me to get in on his trip to Bill's to pick up a tool. I have a feeling that news is on its way about that.

Everything in that photo is dust free! Stealth gloat on awesome dust collection / ability to clean up after ones self?

Two years? You waited TWO YEARS? I admire your self control. Once I get the tool bug, I'm toast. :tool:

Nice score Bob! That's a great machine (I have it's slightly bigger brother), and I've been really pleased with the quality and performance of mine.

Great score Bob. Now I'm jealous. :rotflm: Of course, I've been jealous since I visited your shop two years ago. :gar-Bi

I too was able to give a tool from Bills shop a new home. (Sorry, I didn't take the camera to the shop today.) The sliding table makes a fine addition to my Grizzly G0690.

Nice score Bob.

Still waiting to hear Salem's gloat, although I have a slight idea what it could be, after seeing his ads here and on CL.

Bobby,

Thanks for the kind words, it was nice meeting you as well!

Regards,

Bill

Bas,

Got a really fine Jet 22-44ODS, like new condition, I live just down the road from you, we can have it in your fine shop in no time! Got the bug yet?

Regards,

Bill

Yup Mark I bought Bill's sawstop. Very nice overall. I hope to post a comparison with my ex-grizzly (just sold tonight to a fellow NCWW). Preview/spoiler: the grizzly is still a nice saw!

Nice sander! I have a old Woodtech I need to make a dust collection hood for.
