I normally don't do this, but can't resist. It wasn't a pedigreed Unisaw,
but a Taiwan-made cabinet saw with 2hp Emerson motor and 52" Biesemeyer
fence. Years ago, Crapsman used to sell a similar model from their catalog,
under the Crapsman Professional (oxymoron) brand. I just hooked it up and
it runs fine. I won it for $200, used a 10% off ebay coupon (search on
fatwallet.com or your favorite "deals" page), and picked it up locally.
$180 out the door!!!

Okay, you suck; happy now?
Where is the 10$ off coupon?! I looked at fatwallet.com, but didn't find
anything.
Enjoy the saw.

It's eBay vernacular used to whip bidders into a frenzy... <g>

True...
Good Luck with your new saw, and Work Safely.

Go to fatwallet.com, click on "forums", "hot deals", then put "ebay" in
"title search" and click "go". Read away. The links are really long and
probably aren't worth copying and pasting.

I thought if you won something you got it for free. The winner gets to
spend money, the losers get to keep theirs. Just does not make sense.
Sounds like you "bought" the saw for $200.
Anyway, good luck with the saw. The fence alone is worth more than what you
paid.
The saw has a "Dayton" sticker on it, referring to the Emerson brand
apparently licensed by Grainger, in the same way as Home Depot licenses
Emerson's Ridgid brand. Years ago, I saw identical Crapsman Professional
saws in the Crapsman tool catalog. Thank you for the name of the oem. I
didn't know that. I do believe that is what I won a few days ago.
