I found someone selling a large Dayton table saw in my town and I was thinking of purchasing it but I don't know anything about them. I know other brands but nothing about this one.
Can anyone provide some guidance?
I've done some Google searches and so far have come up empty.
thanks...so i can see they are costly but are they good? i'm sorry..i have a friend with a 2006 high end car he bought new and that thing is a piece of junk.
more expensive doesn't mean better. i would use this for hobbyist work and it's only $150 so yea..it's a steal
it is a jaguar. i warned him before he bought it. he hates it and can't wait for him to save enough cash to get out from under it
but i just want to be sure that this is a reliable, solid brand with a good reputation. since it's used, i am not foolish enough to expect a warranty or any sort of help from dayton with it. so i don't want to get ripped that's all.
Which saw is it? How old, what size, accessories with it, show signs of abuse, see/hear it run, make trial cut or two, ...???
Far too little to judge anything about the particular saw, but for $150, if it's the full cabinet 10" or 12" and has even most of the parts, it's essentially free candy and even if it needs some work it's a bargain.
If it's the contractor model and been thru the wringer, maybe not so much.
Grainger typically uses reasonable QC on their Dayton-branded items but I don't know precisely who builds their current tablesaws, etc.
