So I found this DeWalt 7491X table saw on Craigslist for $300. The guy says it's barely used and he's moving. Is this a steal or a scam? I've been wanting to upgrade my portable saw, but this seems too good. Any advice?

That's a helluva deal if it's legit. I got mine for $450 used and thought I was lucky. Make sure it runs smooth and check the blade for any wobble. Also, bring a square to check the fence alignment. If all's good, snag it quick before someone else does!

I've used that model for years. It's a workhorse. $300 is a steal, but I'd be wary of stolen goods. Make sure you meet in a public place and ask for the original receipt if possible. Also, check the arbor for rust or damage. If it's in good shape, you won't regret it.

Thanks for the tips! I'm meeting him at a Lowe's parking lot tomorrow. I'll bring my square and a flashlight. If it checks out, I'm pulling the trigger. I'll update you guys after.

Good luck! Post some pics if you get it. We love seeing new gear. And remember, safety first - get a good blade guard and push stick if not included. Better safe than sorry.
