Mar 11, 2006 13 Replies

First item is a preformax sander this is a pro max II 24" sander, this has seen a few hours of use. he bought it new and used if very little. make offer



next machine is a Starmark MAX oscillating spindle sander, like new very little use.



both of the above items have original paper work and like new condition



next machine is a very old "printers table saw" this is a saw used in the days of hand type setting, very accurate machine no tilting arbor. It also has a slide table to mill off the ends of wood that can be set to VERY accurate sizes. This machine is very heavy and well built. All items are in Newtown CT. I will be down to see my dad next week and will get pictures, I have all the paper work on the 2 newer machines and can scan/email info if needed.


Why don't you say where the machines are located, a starting price, etc. Shipping makes a BIG diference in purchase decisions and I, for one, won't buy until I can see it - at any price.

On 3/11/2006 6:09 PM Charley mumbled something about the following:

Umm, he did say they were in Newton, CT, so there's half of your complaint gone.

I'm interested in a spindle sander, but I'm not familiar with this brand or model. Can you describe it a little more - is it a benchtop or free-standing model? What size spindles? HP? Very rough price range estimate? Thanks, Andy

And I'm sure you will do quite well there. I truly believe there are no more bargains to be hand on Ebay. I was tracking a Delta 380 15" planer for the last week. It sold for $885 and the buyer must pick it up at the guy's shop. The 780, the replacement for the 380, is currently being sold on Amazon for $1198, less a $100 rebate, and free shipping. So for $200 I don't have to break my back moving the thing and I get a brand new machine.

Like the exact address, or where in CT, Newtown CT is located

I'm CT and possibly interested. Is there a ballpark price?

Thanks, Barry

I'm too far away, but I'm sure that someone in NY, CT, or MA will be interested.

Thanks to this group, I see that Amazon is offering the $75 off $300 tool purchases. That brings my net price on that machine to $1025, enough to make the wife start thinking its a good idea.

Of course, I'll probably take the PC belt sander instead of the $100 cash back, and I have to add in the mobile base right away, but those are just details.
