I have been a long time member but my posts have always bounced due to older email address on record (hopefully correct now). This is simply an advert I saw!?
I know nothing about it other than I have bought stuff from HGR and feel I always got good deals (many people feel differently!). If I had more space to go separates I would have seriously thought about selling my Combo (after going to view this machine - I would check it out well especially with the X-roll protruding - Forklift operators!)
Thanks Niel. FWIW, a member of my FB group alerted me to this saw a week ago. His msg said, “saw this at HGR in cleveland ohio, nice saw”. Not sure if he is a member here.

Neil, I bought from HGR for years. They are absolute bottom feeders if you’re a machinist and you know how to rebuild machines then say you have some pretty good deals sometimes for somebody that’s not capable of doing the stuff that I can do you’re wasting your money.
The other thing is their shipping department is shit so unless you send them specific diagrams and blueprints of how you want the stuff moved you’re gonna get machine said come on a pellet and half not and most of the time it’s their fault.

I absolutely agree that you need to know what you are doing with HGR. But as I said I am fortunate to being only 100miles from the warehouse in Ohio. So I collect my own stuff (although that says nothing of how it got there in first place). Some of the machines were obviously packed by people who cared for them ?before HGR got them. I bought a Clausing Colchester lathe that was in great shape and best of all was someone (bless their soul) had packed a 6 jaw Griptru Pratt and Burnerd Chuck in the lathe which was never part of the advert or mentioned. That chuck was probably worth almost as much as I paid for the whole machine.?
