Thread: Gilbro Combination Table Saw

You will probably need to post a photo of it if you can or at least a model number/type.

Good luck

It's always hard to give a price on old machines so as Lappa has pointed out take a look at what similar machines are being sold for. The machine does look to be in good condition. Only real test is to put it up with an asking price and see how things go. You can always reduce that later if there are no takers. Take a look at some items up on this market place to get an idea of how things are conducted. Prices often get adjusted. Good luck.

Hi Everyone!

I had many interested in the machine but I sold it to the first buyer with an offer of $300. The man was a builder and my hubby took him through all the workings of the item. He said it was in fantastic order and was thrilled with his purchase. I probably could have got more money for it but the chap who I sold it to really appreciated it's condition and working order. I feel it's gone to a good home! Thanks for your help in this matter.

Glad things worked out and its found a good home
Regards

Hi Sam, just wondering if u are still around in the forum, I have a couple of gill bros pieces and was wondering - thanks Jane

Now and then but I don’t know anything about Gilbro machines, just that more info in your post may have helped. Lots of knowledgeable people on here perhaps they can help.

Best of luck

Sorry Jane, the two pics that you sent to me would appear to be separate free standing machines with individual home built frames and commercially sourced motors. A combination machine is a machine that combines 2 or more functions into a single machine, sometimes operated from a single motor, as in the Gilbro combo machine (tilt table saw with horizontal dowelling borer, and a 41/4inch jointer, supplied on a metal frame with a common motor) or with multiple motors where it easier to turn motors on and off to select functions than to change belts to do so.

Also, the saw in the picture sent is a home built timber work bench with a saw spindle, blade and motor added. It would bear no relationship to Gilbro other than an item of theirs may have contributed the motor.
