I am looking at a Darra James 3 hp 12″ 5/8 arbor cabnet saw for sale for $400 tomorrow.
Does any one have any knowledge on these saws? Quality? Are parts available?
Thankyou,
happyman

I looked at one when i was just starting out woodworking in the 80s for $800 and wished i'd bought it, but i wasn't familiar enough with the name to take a chance.
If you google "Darra James", you'll see a 12-incher for sale for over $2000.
Here's a link to a good discussion and more links to partz:
