Used machinery

I just noticed that he has a used Unisaw, 2 hp for $800.

On the OWWM this particular saw has earned the distinction of being called a Contractor'sSawInnaBox (CSIAB) or the WantsaBeAUnisaw (WBAU).

Interestingly enough there is a CSIAB being listed on eBay.

Maybe people are smarter than I thunk.

all things considered, if a fellow could get that thing for less that say, 700$ its not a bad deal for a CSIAB. . .on the other hand,,,that saw and a bus token gets you downtown.

Don't hold your breath K.

Is that along the lines of the Delta "Junior"?

Sorrry guys. I have watched his stuff for things like drill presses cause he comes up withg good old ones. I confess that I did not look at the picture but jumped the gun. Sorry. Ought to know better with you sharp guys.

Yeah, the only thing I have seen was a 3hp and a 5hp.

Actually Jon the Unisaw was sold with a 2 horse motor. Mid/late 60's?

UA100, who really needs to work up that Unisaw type study in his, eh-hem, *spare* time...

Ayup, following up to my own reply. Pathetic? You decide.

I looked up the Junior Unisaw in the catalogs.

I'm not sure it shows in the picture at the link above but the innards on this thing are quite substantial. From my own comparison to the WBAU/CSIAB I can tell you the Junior is heftier. Hell, it's heftier than the contractor's saw.

I did get word late yesterday that Delta would be re-releasing there WBAU/CSIAB. I suspect with everyone else having such success with their own versions Delta is feeling they may have been a wee bit hasty in removing it from the market.
