Here, in Edmonton good beavers go for 100 to 200 bucks.Grizzly Grizzly G0661 2 HP Contractor Style Table Saw with Riving Knife, 10-Inch description This will tell you what others like it sold for. So, what is it worth: Easiest way to find out the value is to look at ebay and search for closed listings. Usually it's designed in so you need a replacement. An inconsistent fence isn't a show stopper, but it will either require work or replacement. Try clamping while putting a bit of sideways pressure on the far end. Slide it over to to one of the mitre slots. Those are show stoppers as very hard to replace.ĥ. Check the rack (tilt and rise) castings for cracks. Bearings in the blade shaft are easy to replace. Drive train: Check for play in the whole saw support mechanism. Allows you to handle wider work - and to have a bigger table to accumlated junk.ģ. Tolerable for construction sites where 1/8" is good enough.Ģ. Sheet metal tops bend, flex, dent, and are a PITA. But for the next guy searching.īeaver made a bunch of different saws before being bought out by Rockwell, who then merged with delta.ġ. Sorry to be a lecturer but I had to say something, not out of anything but love. I have a 3 hp table, and I never get behind a board and never allow a pinch that I can control.sharpness is safety! And if you use a saw that is more powerful and have this bad habit of pinching you can get a serious injury.

Please a saw stop is no joke and move on situation, sure we can control this on a 3/4 hp saw, but the one time you don't maintain control might mean a hospital stay. As I was writhing from the board bashing my mentor came in and said did you catch a board? Yes! Well you won't do that again.he was right I never have. I have Amish friends whose saws are hooked to 40hp Diesel engines, I have seen boards shoot through shop walls from a catch, I have taken one to the lower abdomen when I was younger, it will put you on the ground, possibly with internal damage.

You should not ever stop your motor, the slowness of a blade either stopping or restarting is the greatest catch hazard, this is very dangerous, please stop doing that. Ok guys we gotta talk about sharpness and not stopping your saw.Ī sharp blade puts less pressure on your motor, and is safer to you.

I wouldn't offer more than $150 for that saw, but I'm cheap! May also allow more flexibility in motor replacement if/when needed. I actually like the belt-drive system, if the blade stalls then in theory the belt can slip, no such option with direct drive. I find the blade size and 3/4HP motor to be juuust adequate, but a good fit for available power. Saw was free, though it didn't include blade, a good stand, or table extensions. My old Homecraft (Delta built) from the 50s is an 8". If I buy another tablesaw, I'll be holding out for a really good existing fence I replaced the rail/fence on mine with a 6-ft length of 2x3 steel holding a standard beysermeyer-style fence on it, mated to a plywood extension on a movable frame, and it was a fairly time-consuming pain in the ass. Not too sure about the fence on that saw, definitely see how you like adjusting it/using it if you do go look. What size is the blade? It doesn't actually say it's a 10", and some of those older saws are 8" max. If you plan to cut a lot of thick stuff, you might want more.
