Had this discussion with the wife , she thinks we should fix the plumbing b4 I spend the money on a saw **%\$#%&&"+'*-&%& OK....... So there goes any chance at a new or recon. Yes I have looked for a month so I went back to the excalibur 19 inch, I offered he excepted 125.00
I was out to see it a few weeks ago so I know what I am buying
PRO--. It's clean, high speed (3 speed belt change) it has no more vib. then my old RBI (, MAYBE LESS). I cut some wood different speeds it's quiet enough and I know a thing or 3 about machinery to judge it well made... Foot switch and light. Con -- about 15+ years old, no parts and heavy ( that may not be a con) .
The big con ... The reason I walked away the first time , rethreading the blade .. the arm does not lift , my only experience is on my old saw the arm lift's you have room to see your next hole.. a couple of members tell me this will not be a problem you bend the blade and there is enough room.... I have to figure there is a way and hope to get use to it.
It was also pointed out if I got it cheap enough and it does break I could almost get my money back parting it out, don't think it will come to that.
At least starting tomorrow Iam not going to be saw less 😊😊😊😊
