guess what we picked up at a garage sale?

[dkguitarist 5,000+ posts]

one of neighbors had a garage sale yesterday and they had a table saw advertised for sale and my dad really wanted it so we went over after they opened and picked it up for $150. came with like 6 blades, some misc things for different sized wood, and some tarps. the guy bought it back in '83 for $394 i believe. they were moving to a retirement home, and already sold the house so they were forced to sell what they had to leave behind. he really hated to let it go after so many years, but it has a good home now. and time for me to start building my own boxes and ampracks. hehehe. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

lol. that is if you want an uncarpeted, and jacked up cuts, then yes. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif haha. i have no woodworking skills whatsoever, so it'll be a good experience for me. infiniteless possibilites with a table saw, (outside of car audio as well).

that'd look pretty tight. post pics when ya finish. i do need an amprack built. gonna have 3 amps, and *in the future* a carputer. i'll have no trunk space whatsover. also maybe a cd changer. but the table saw is a 10" (referring to blade i'm assuming.) and we got a box of like 6 other blades. gonna be fun once it warms up a tad bit, as it gets closer to april.

Phantom, you can cut aluminum on a table saw too. Have to use a carbide blade though.

it's just kinda dusty from sitting so long. it's really stable, no wobbles, haven't tested it yet but it looks to be in good operating condition.
