Archer Posted March 29 Report Posted March 29 I'm very excited and wanted to share. I found this lovely saw on marketplace and took a ten-and-a-half hour round trip to pick it up. It's almost unused despite being about 15-20 years old and was stored in a dry shed so its in perfect working order despite its age. Its an original Taiwanese-made Excalibur, originally sold on the Australian market by Carba-Tec. I paid $600 Australian Dollars for it, roughly $412 US or 358 Euros at time of posting. I think I got a good deal, but please tell me your opinions. Dan, flarud, barb.j.enders and 1 other 4 Quote
don in brooklin on Posted March 29 Report Posted March 29 Great Score. It is the same model I have had for 15 years this fall. The only thing that I replaced was the blade clamps with the Pegas version. I only did it because it was on sale but it did make a little bit of difference. I am sure you can get many more cuts on with this machine. Enjoy, Archer and OCtoolguy 2 Quote

They are an order of magnitude easier to use than the worn-out clamps on the Delta 40-540 I've been using. It runs smoother, too. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted March 29 Report Posted March 29 Congrats on that score. You can't go wrong with these older saws. I'd like to find a deal on a older one like this or even a good used Pegas, Jet and some of the other brands that were built good before they started being made in China.
