Major score on some ww equipment

A large millwork shop closed down here in Vegas. It was owned by a man I us=

some clamps from them a few months ago and I got a call letting me have th=
e first look at the rest of the small equipment. Everything I bought was e=

Porter Cable 690 router with base, at least a dozen Amana ogee and roundove=
r, straight cut, and dovetail bits (1/2" shank) 9 Amana 1/4" shank bits (og=
ee and straight cut) two 10" Forrester 2 blades, and a Husky 17 gal, 150 ps=
i 5 hp peak compressor. Snagged it all for $200. Everything is in top sha=
pe and now that my new Grizzly G0732 table saw arrived, I'm practically bac=
k in business. Won't be getting the rest until we get moved up to Minnesot=
a in the late spring/early summer. I guess the jummywood will be piling up.=

There were 22 workbenches in this shop and probably 35 routers of varied si=

through what I wanted (2 were still in their original plastic bags and prot=
