Framer Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I found a RBI model 220 for 350 on craigslist. Im not familar with this brand. Looked to be in good shape. Any advice on this would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrampaJim Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Around here 220 VS models go for $400-600. IF, (big if) it is a variable speed $350 is not too bad. They RBI - Bushton have a good rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I did a search for Hawks in your area on craiglist.. and if the one I seen is the one you're speaking of.. I'd think it would be worth the money providing that it is as good as it looks.. Appears to have the extras with it... ie foot switch, light, and dust cover for the machine.. While I got a great deal on mine at $100 by the time I made a few upgrades and minor repairs.. etc.. I now am pushing that $300 mark.. While as it turns out many of the items I purchased for it wasn't needed as it was user error LOL.. live and learn though. Anyway.. I love the saw now and that is what really matters... still much cheaper than a new one at $1200 + 150 shipping. On a side note.. now I am looking at a 226VS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
