My dad has one of the greatest saws ever invented. The delta frame and trim saw (buck saw) sees day in and day out use and it’s retirement is near. if you have never heard of this saw, it is a sliding saw w/ 8 1/4 inch blade, has legs that fold up and wheels for mobility. It is basically a portable radial arm saw. This saw will crosscut 16″ aluminum soffit material and is great for cutting siding. Delta quit making this saw a few years ago and i don’t know why, maybe due to the advent of the sliding miter saw. I would like to get my hand on a new or slightly use one. does anyone know of one for sale or any delta dealer who may have one hiding in the back room?

We have one at our shop, its been sitting in the corner for a long while taking up space, nobody seems to like it. It looks to be in fair shape but I have never used it. The boss is out of town for 2 weeks, but I could ask him if he was willing to sell it. I'm not sure what the answer will be.
I noticed your locationis Effingham, Is that Effingham IL? I'm lawrence ks now, but make it to st louis every so often, so if he is willing to sell I could meet you in St Louis possibly, to avoid shipping.
If your interested let me know
for the right price i would definately drive to st. louis, tis only a two hour drive.
I can't gaurantee he will be willing to sell it or what the price would be, He is a pack rat and keeps things we should just throw away.
But like I said I will ask when he gets back in town. Hit me up in about 2 weeks because it is likely I will forget, I've been a bit scatter brained lately.View ImageGo Jayhawks
