Thinking about purchasing

All of these machines were purchased around August 2005. I have seen
these and cannot tell they have been used. I may be wrong on the model
of the Forrest, but it is a dado set.

I have had my Dewalt TS with sliding table for about 3 years and really love
it. No problems at all. It runs quiet and virtually no vibrations. As I
recall, I paid about $1300 which included the sliding table, outfeed table
and right table extension. Have also mounted a router under the right
extension. For $600, it sounds like a very good deal as long as it's in
good condition.

I think you need to let me know where these are at so I can go inspect them
for you. ;)

No experience with the saw, but what type of blade is it? If it is the
Forrest WWII blade, it is not a dado blade, but a combination regular blade.
I do have this blade on my tablesaw and it is excellent. The blade alone
costs about $115. If it is the Forrest dado set, I believe that actually
runs around $250 but I don't own that one.

I have this joiner and am happy with it. Find out how old it is because
some of the older models had some problems with (I think) the fence. Sorry,
I can't recall exactly what the issue was. Search the group archives
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&group=rec.woodworking for this topic.

Seems to be good deals if the machines are in good shape. Good luck.
