    New Reason to Hate Craigslist: $500

    Some guy is selling a 7.5 HP Taiwanese sliding table saw for $500.

    I was socially distant before it was cool.

    I believe that's spelled "atachment."

    This must be some guy cleaning out a warehouse. Surely no one who paid for that thing would accept $500.

    All your saw are belong to us.

    I think he's including the double-bagger dust collector, too!

    So, Steve, you're not going to buy it?

    See, this is where the "hate" comes in. I have no place to put it.

    Never heard of MIKIWAY before! From the shape of the cabinet, it's '80s or '90s Taiwanese vintage. A guy may be getting just what he's paying for! That tropical S. Florida climate is hard on Arn!

    The junk that comes with it might be worth $500 by itself. I looked up Mikiway. Here is what I learned: they cost a whole lot. Whether that means they're good, I dunno. Might make a nice artificial reef.

    Reminds me of an old National Lampoon recording. They asked a guy to name three famous Mickeys, and he came up with Mickey Mantle, Mickey Mouse, and Mickey Way. The candy bar.

    I purchased a Mikiway MB250 saw in 1985 from Bratton Machinery in Tallahasee. It is the 10"/3HP version of what is listed. I recall the price new was $999. A sliding table attachment was available and I believe it was another $400-500 but I didn't go for the attachment. It was a very good and solid saw that provided me many years of service until I upgraded to a slider. It came with two arbors and heavy cast iron inserts. One for sawing and one for dado.

    Several other machinery companies also imported this saw, Sunhill comes to mind but that was a long time ago.

    Killing some time I went on line and came up with a new one for $3500 [New Zealand] which = around $2500 US.
