Hi,
I appreciated all the good feedback I received from the community on a potential jointer purchase. I'm still in the process of outfitting my shop and I ran across two ads from a woodworker who is selling a Delta 36-475 Platinum addition contractor saw wired for 220V with a 30" Unifence, 2 Freud blades (50 and 80 tooth), outfeed table, Delta Tenoning jig, and homemade crosscut, tapering and mitering sleds. The pictures of the saw look immaculate. He's asking $475. He's also selling his lunchbox planer (Delta 22-580) with a mobile stand for $275.00. The size is not too much of a concern as I have a track saw and rail for sheet goods. I'm also thinking that a rip blade will help with dealing with hardwoods that may be difficult for the saw to handle otherwise.
As I'm relatively new to woodworking, I appreciate any feedback on whether purchasing these items seems like a wise investment or am I better off buying a new hybrid saw like a Grizzly 715 and a Dewalt 735. The extra $700 for the used machines buys a lot of other tools and wood.
Thanks,
