I have wanted a radial arm saw for some time and saw one listed in the local paper for $100. I called the guy up, an older fellow who lives about 40 miles away and told him I wanted to see it. He is 83 and in poor health and said he was selling everything so his wife wouldn't have to when he was gone. He has about a 1 1/2 car garage with enough tools in it he hardly has room for his small suv. The saw works good and came with a rolling table and a hard back book telling how to use the saw. Looking around, I saw a cutting torch, a Miller 180 amp stick welder, a Lincoln SP170T wire welder set up for argon( see my other post), a big upright air compressor and lots of wood working tools. He had a Craftsman 6 1/2" jointer planer setting on top of a table saw. I asked him how much for the planer and he said $50. I told him I would like to have it also, but I didn't know he was selling anything beside the saw, so I didn't bring much cash with me. He said, How much do you have on you? I pulled out my wallet and counted out $138. He said that enough, so I got both the saw and the jointer. I'm thinking real hard about the mig welder. I thought I made out like a bandit. Chris
