So, I have a line on a Dewalt 746 TS locally which I will go look at this weekend. This is to upgrade from my Craftsman TS which I posted about last week.
Is there anything special to this model (known issues etc) to check out prior to purchase? I plan to take a couple of pieces of wood for testing. How might one tell if a saw was lightly used, vs heavily used?
I'll ensure that the basics are covered - top is flat, blade has full movement both up/down and angles, the fence is square, the blade is reasonably square to miter slots etc.
Also, would <$400 be a reasonable price for a lightly used model? It has the 30" fence, steel side extensions (not the cast iron ones available aftermarket).
Thanks
Kirk
