    Default is it worth it?

    i have been offered a triton 2000 workcentre for about $500.
    it includes the stand,saw table,router table & biscuit joiner & all your fences & accessories that come with it.i know this one has had very little use & is in perfect condition.
    i haven't priced one new
    so would it be worth the money?

    The Workcentre alone (no saw) costs nearly $500 new. The other accessories are probably worth another $300-350. You can spend a fortune on Triton accessories, so I this is a great chance to get a near new Triton plus $300+ worth of extras

    Excellent buy. Grab it.

    Then get a Triton saw.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    IMHO $650 would still be a reasonable price, so provided you look after it you could still get 6 months use and make a profit...

    Keep the MK3 for cross cutting and use the 2000 Workcentre for rippingh etc.
