I have this model saw and it is a fine machine in my little cutting room. However, Buehler no longer supports these older machines and one might struggle finding replacement parts for them if needed. If this machine came with all the tooling and options for it, then it might be worth what is being asked. It also helps to have a nearby machinist that can make slide and plug holders, etc., In regards to thin sections, it works fine doing all the rough cutting and such that is needed to prepare a thin section and has been a work horse in many cutting rooms around the world. It's a matter of experience with a particular saw as to how thin you want your cut to be. IMHO, .008" is really pushing the final cut. I use a 5 inch thin blade on mine. I've seen 6" blades being used with some minor modifications. The 3" blades from buehler are indeed pricey! Cheers!
