Hi Everybody! I'm in the process of moving out of the warehouse I've been leasing for the past 8 years, and part of this is getting rid of some of my equipment at my house. (Need to get rid of stuff at the house so my wife will let me move stuff out of the warehouse, lol.) Anyway, I have 2 saws (well, 3, but I'll get to that) that I need to sell. See below for more details. I obviously can't ship these, so this is local pickup only. Old style Highland Park 14", on wheeled cart. $1350The first saw is an old style HP 14". She works great, and is mounted on a sturdy rolling cart. The blade is a nearly brand new BD/MK-303. It does have one chip on the edge that is about 3/4" long, but it has not affected the speed or quality of the cut at all. I will do a cleanout before the purchaser arrives to pick it up. Old style Highland park 24" - With spare 24" MK-303 blade. $4000Next is an old style HP 24", with a spare 24" MK-303 blade. Both the installed blade and the spare blade are in nearly new condition. (Probably less than 100 cuts on either blade). Dirty, but fully functional. I pretty much only used this saw when I had monster pieces of rough that I needed to break down and fit in my workhorse 18". Home built 18" monstrosity... mostly sold for scrap value and the relatively new 18" MK-303 blade. $600 This is the 18" saw that I home built back in 2013. The thread for that is here: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/61388/After using "real" saws for the past decade I can say that the one I built is not a good saw, but it does work after a fashion and it does have an essentially new 18" MK-303 blade. I forgot to get new pictures of it, but the thread has what it looked like new and I can try to take some tomorrow and add it to this post. This is just out of curiosity since I can't make it down there to procure any of these workhorses. If you don't mind me asking, have you upgraded or changed what you're offering in your shop? - Rob

I would hardly call your HP24 "old style", it's not a round rail saw, but I guess vs a new china made HP it's old, and arguably the best version from HP. The 18" build thread took me down memory lane. I have the 10" saw still, and the 18" kit parts collection has left my hands, then returned, just like a still unassembled boomerang. Yours is tempting, within a round trip even if I want to really end up with 12 saws, post a few pics when you can.

Looks like a very fair deal for those needing a heavy-duty saw... especially the 24" HP.

Also found a barely used Covington Gold 18" blade that I'll include with it.
