Table Saw
My dad bought a new Craftsman 12" direct drive table saw in 1975. He's probably sawed 40 semi loads of wood on it in all the years that have passed. That saw is still in use almost daily and still has the original motor on it. So the best bang for the buck is finding an older Craftsman on Marketplace. There are plenty of older people that have them retiring and passing away. The market should be full of them, I know you can't hardly give away a radial arm saw today.
