it is a jaguar. i warned him before he bought it. he hates it and
can't wait for him to save enough cash to get out from under it
but i just want to be sure that this is a reliable, solid brand with a
good reputation. since it's used, i am not foolish enough to expect a
warranty or any sort of help from dayton with it. so i don't want to
get ripped that's all.

classic Jag look and the reliable, easily maintained engine, etc.

Easy enough to do. For some period they used GM transmissions.
Of course, the electrical was made by Sir Lucas, Prince of Darkness.
Now, every time I look at the little Jag of recent years I think to myself,
"what a lot of money for a Ford Contour"

have a friend with a 2006 high end car he bought new and that thing is
a piece of junk.
more expensive doesn't mean better. i would use this for hobbyist work
and it's only $150 so yea..it's a steal

well fyi--i wound up not buying it. it may be a steal but i'm not
equipped to work on these things if there are any issues.
i guess i need to lie in wait for the next cabinet saw that comes
available and by then i should have more cash saved up to make it
worthwhile
which brands of table saws tend to have better longevity than others
or is there such a thing?

OK, I looked. Is there a dumb question I should ask? Like why?

I see a company racing at Lime Rock each vintage meet that drops 350 and
351 ci. V8's into older Jag's. As they come down the main straight,
there's no doubt which cars are theirs!

Which saw is it? How old, what size, accessories with it, show signs of
abuse, see/hear it run, make trial cut or two, ...???
Far too little to judge anything about the particular saw, but for $150,
if it's the full cabinet 10" or 12" and has even most of the parts, it's
essentially free candy and even if it needs some work it's a bargain.
If it's the contractor model and been thru the wringer, maybe not so much.
Grainger typically uses reasonable QC on their Dayton-branded items but
I don't know precisely who builds their current tablesaws, etc.

Sounds about right... At least it's not a Rover!
