Dan, I personally think that if you bought all three items , "Even at his ASKING PRICE", you could clean them up and sell them for a profit if you didn't want to keep them. As a for instance, the FENCE on the saw appears to be either a Biesemeyer, or Jet clone, and that alone is worth more than the asking price of the saw. The Lathe, although an older model, has the good metal cabinet type stand, and is worth it's asking price. I can't remember what brand you said the Drill Press is, but if it is an older Delta, then it would be worth the asking price also. Of course, if you can get them cheaper, then Hooray for you. I would definitely think about getting the saw though and if you decided to keep it you could set it up as a dedicated Dado/rabbet machine.

Cheers
 
Dan, you're correct about the large wheel/knob on top of the bandsaw -- it's for tensioning the blade. The two other knobs on the lower part of the top half look like they are for adjusting the blade guides up and down. (One knob moves things up and down, and the other knob holds it in place once you move it where you want it.) This is a good thing...cheaper saws only have the knob to tighten the guides; they don't have the up/down knob.

I don't remember seeing the asking prices on the other machines, but I also agree with Norman...I think they look like good tools with good resale potential.
 
Thanks for all the help on the machines let answer a few questions

Im in california.........
The prices above are the prices i offered him for the machines but he turned down my offers and said he wanted more than that. He said he wanted to see if he could get alot more for the machines. He wanted me to make him a higher offer but at the moment i didnt as i dont know what they are worth.
He didnt say anything about the drill presses. But i went thru this same thing on the bandsaw.
Wondering what others think they are worth so i had a idea what to pay for them. Out of all of them i would like to have the tablesaw.

Question: picture maybe a bad one of the bandsaw but there is a big black knob on the top and another one on the side just below it........not sure but one is for tightening and other ? not sure which is which?


Thanks Dan
