Fair price for Beisemeyer 8-foot miter saw table?

[Tom Hyde]

I'm looking at a 8-foot Beisemeyer miter saw table (78-808) for sale in good condition. The asking price seems very high but I don't think these will ever be available new again, sooo .... $350 worth it? Yep, could build my own but ...

There were clearenced out on amazon for $99. Maker sure you get the end stops you want. Yu need two - one right and one left. After reading issues with rocking and bowing I bought a keg track top and built mine.

I've got a set. A 3 footer on the right of my saw and a 6 footer on the left.

My stop actually works on both sides so only 1 stop for me.

I really like the set up.

I'm not sure of the pricing but that sounds high to me.

Thanks Mike and Paul. Good info. Still on the fence ... sorry, bad pun.

I've got one - comparable to Paul's.

Had it for dog-years. Wouldn't be with out it, or equivalent.

Did not know there were issues on build quality Mike - assume that came along in recent years...mine is great. I also had a friend get the Kreg and we installed it. Works good enough, but no where near as robust as the Biese.


EDIT - got off track, forgot the point. The point is this: I think that price is too high. $200 maybe? If I was starting, I would find and get the Biese stop - used somewhere. Then build my own table and fence.
