More details for you guys with questions. His machines are less than 3 months old. My powermatic 6" is new asian....

Thanks for all of the good replies. Made me think this through a bit more. I am paying too much, but I have a real need for the bigger machines. I'm sitting on a semi truck load of white oak planks. Some are over 24" wide... or should I say, half are over 24" and 14' long. I'm talking with...

Spiral blades, I've got room and need larger capacity... sounds like the guy needs the money due to some circumstances with family.

A local guy has a new Grizzly Go454z 20" Planer and a new Grizzly 12" Jointer Go609x. I've got a Nearly new Dewalt 735 + Brand new Byrd Shelix cutter head and digital readout, And a Powermatic 6" Helical Head Jointer - brand new.. Plus $2300. Does this sound like a good deal to you guys...

How is Milwaukee's service? I just picked up an M18 grinder and it lasted about 15 minutes before the motor started smoking. Now it won't run at all... My first Milwaukee failure, and I have accumulated a lot of gear.

Yep - not living there yet...but its a one way in, one way out with 5 other nice houses on the street. Has to be an inside job IMO. I've got some more pics to post, we've made a lot of progress on the house... paving, painting, sheetrock complete and priming inside now, cabinets are sitting...

Quick shop updates... tools are slowly being replaced, and have a new home. I finally had time to set up my Maxline/rapid air pipe - well at least part of it. The rest of the house project is moving along - paving tomorrow and painting!

I'm still working on how to make this sink work. I mocked up a platform out of unistrut and It "could work" with some modification for the faucet. I'd really like to make the faucet a beer tap handle... since the sink is half a beer keg... and the urinal is a beer keg... I'm thinking of running...

I just had a bunch of power tools stolen and I'm replacing everything I can replace with Milwaukee! I did have to buy the Ryobi crown stapler though - Milwaukee doesn't make a real crown stapler battery powered that I'm aware of.... I did buy the 15ga finish nailer and the 18 ga brad nailer...

In my search to replace my tools I discovered that Milwaukee has some cool stuff - including the Tick - which you can place on all your expensive stuff - and track it with google maps. The app - One Key - gives you a database to log all your tools, serial numbers, and photos...really slick...

After premium penalties - It looks like 50% coverage. Oh and I found more stuff missing.... bose radio, jig saw, dewalt planer, etc.

Yeah I'm sure it was tweaker meth heads. Possibly even connected to some subcontractors. Two very specific groups around here are notorious for construction thefts. Here's a list of what was taken. THey had access to A LOT more. Ryboi Drill press Dewalt track saw Dewalt Metal cutting...

I hate thieves - Had a brake in last night and F'rs stole a ton of power tools. I may have to shut this thread down - as the thieves got info from somewhere.

Sunday update: This week is supposed to be a big week. The last section of sand finish concrete is supposed to be poured. The asphalt driveway parking lot is also supposed to be done. The shop's office and gym / living area was finished trimmed out and needs to be painted. Looks like we'll...

Bumping this thread because I've got some benches and a frame supporting my wood working dust control ducting made out of strut. I've found some good sources on Ebay of all places... Redding fasteners is the user name and fasteners Inc tool outlet is the company. I did find a local place...
