chadlanthier Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 So as the title says I took a chance. I'm not sure yet if I just screwed myself. But I have faith. I had been eyeing this one tool for a while but could not justify the $400 price tag, even though I've spent more money on other tools. So I typed the name into google to see if anyone else had started selling it, because it is only sold out of Canada by one company exclusively. Low and behold I found one on Craigslist. Problem is, it's in the middle of the country and I live in upstate ny. And while its used, it's half the price of a new one. So I emailed the guy asking if he would ship it, after a few emails back and forth. I sent the money to him. So I'm sure your wondering what I ordered, it's called the little ripper. It's a sled with rails that attaches to the bandsaw that allows u to mill boards from small logs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I looked at one of these and I can not justify the cost, you are right $400 is crazy........with a little thinking I'm sure a fella could make one for far less... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Chad, did you use PayPal? That'll be helpful if it goes south. I did a sell on CL to a guy in Vermont and it went awesome so I'm sure you'll be okay! The big thing is make sure the SN is not stole !

Mondo1310 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Have you received the item yet from that guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Yeah, I received it last week. Not only was it like brand new, but it had a height extender. Which I'm pretty sure is extra. It was a good score, saved $200 off a new one. I'll have to take photos. I've been busy with assembling the xcarve. It's a slow going process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
