  1. I just saw this Delta Unisaw listed on Facebook Marketplace. It looks identical to mine and mine is a 1947 build. Great saw and the seller is asking $350. It is currently wired for 110 but that is easy to fix and you would want to upgrade the fence. For $500 you could have a heck of a saw. Located in Ft. Wayne Indiana. I love the art deco of the switch plate.
  2. well, been wanting to replace an older saw (left tilt) i got rid of when xfering to home shop, found i enjoyed using one on occassion, well one popped up on offer up, was in sorta dismal shape, left outside, ect. so after a week or so of dickering, and working it hard, i managed to make a deal today and brought home the saw. i will need to find an cast iron extention top, and a new mag switch, saw is a unisaw. left tilt 230v 3 hp, unit single phase, plan is to have both saws in same line right tilt on left with table space between and left tilt way out on right, to save footprint space in shop. just need to find some parts, clean it up some, some lube and lotsa woodworker love and kind words, , i'll have to dig deep for those. heres some pics of the albatross which will take up some more of my precious time. happy hump day to those that subscribe Rj in Az
  3. Size chart for Delta numbered v-belts.
  4. I'm looking for advice and suggestions about how and where to sell. Do I refurbish, all or partial? What about shipping away from my location? How to price? I have my father's woodshop equipment bought in 1948 (have original invoices). Includes table saw, scroll saw, band saw, shaper, wood lathe, grinder, drill press, and belt sander, located in Washington State.
  5. After 235 miles round trip, gas, tolls, time, and one fried shrimp lunch along the coastal highway, I own an older Delta contractors saw. K88-xx serial number is 1988? The 120V motor had power and noise issues but it fully disassembled, it wasn't bearings nor bushings. It was the drive belt. Plus ribbons of HDPE wedged within the motor. Someone was cutting cutting boards As much as the motor guy motor-mouthed the motor, fully-assembled, noise was not banshee-unbearable. No one complained about my front porch resaw clinic. I ripped until I could not find my flip rule. Took a break, drank water, realized I'd been running the Delta four hours. Ripped another 30 minutes. Near'filled a bucket with sawdust. Did not have compressed air like Steve Newman, but with the mini-vac reversed, a blew everything out, eased the 110 pound saw back into the living room, and my new friend doubles as an off-entrance table. Quietly awaiting more fun. At max height, it is a slow push resawing heartwood. Started with full thickness machine-oil impregnated heartpine. With care got nice slats with no blade marks. Thinner stock, easier push. This wood, I'm unsure what I'll do with it; be more careful in what I buy I've more but it'll be venting cutting oils for my lifetime. Maybe decking for sturdy basement platform step. Noticed early that the thin blade cuts easier than the thick blade. With care, I got slats of heartpine as thin as the thin blade. Shut off the saw and adjusted the fence to 16th" before every resaw cut. Maximizing the good piece - a 3x4x22 remainder from a 4x8x22 joist, still not enough for a 60" headboard. Maybe a panel nonetheless? A shutter panel to set in a window frame when more darkness is wanted. Wall hanger by all other times. Left nothing to chance - even cleaned the flip rule. An old drawer front of fine-grained, white, buttery wood? Buttery wood, butter-smooth cut. Very rewarding - opening up a single 1x3 - 55" piece of c.1910 flooring dumpster-rescued a few miles west, outside a refurbishment. Ya cut it open, the wood is as fresh as the day those carpenters laid the floor, scraped it smooth, before floor finishers did their thing. Before my next session, this Lufkin will get more respectful cleaning.
  6. Saw this posted on CL a few days back. Hum-ha'ed around for a few days before calling the guy since the price was fair and it was only about 8 miles up the road. We spoke previously on some other items he had listed but it was pre & post back surgery. He's slowly thinning his herd of lesser used items. A really nice guy and EXTREMELY talented woodworker. Learned we had lots in common. We had a nice visit. Anyways, new to me...older model but in good condition; cost less than the H-F 1x30" version I bought a few years back. Wanted one I could dedicate to metal (ferrous). I get nervous switching back & forth even after blowing wood dust out. It's something I'm comfortable operating since I can sit if need be. Thanks for looking.
  7. My wife and I watched our Grandson, Teddy, for a week, while his parents moved into their first house on Long Island. While here, he did the usual things for a 5 year old, play dates, swimming in the local creek/pool, helped with yard work, and helped me start a dovetailed, sliding lidded box, that is to be used to store loose parts for my Delta shaper. We didn't quite get around to painting it but I'll show him the results when finished. All-in-all, he had a great time!!!!
  8. Eyeing this jointer for sale, auction actually, and I can't tell if it's 6 or 8"; I want to say 8. Also, is it worth buying?...only 3/4 HP motor.
  9. Welp first turn of the new year. 2021. As well as the first turn on the brand new delta lathe. It took me a few minutes to figure out that forward is backwards and reverse is forwards basically. Either way I love the lathe so thanks to who ever suggested buying that one it was well worth the 600 some odd dollars I spent on it. It is extremely quiet and I'm honestly over all happy and impressed with it. Beats the harbor freight lathe by 1000 fold. I also got my new cole jaws for the larger bowls as well but I wanted to do a small little myrtle wood bowl for myself to throw my keys in when they are not in my pocket so it works. But roughly done.
  10. I found this on Craigs List, and I was curious what it's used for? I don't even know if it's metal or woodworking related. Thanks for any information.
  11. A few days ago I stopped in our local junkyard to see whats new... I seen a Delta scroll saw in the trash... I seen that the head was missing. I never seen one this big in the junkyard before. I said to myself Wow. To bad the heads missing... Then I walked up to the tin pile and there was another guy unloading another saw just like the one below. The skid steer was pushing everything back to make more room. After the skid steer was finished I Looked what was left of the saw. I could not believe that It had what looked like a good head on it. Everything else got smashed up. so I walked back down to the lower pile and the skid steer was pushing everything back again to make room. I thought I was to late to save anything. When he was done this is what I found...
  12. Anyone know if the jaws from the Nova line will fit the Delta version?
  13. During these current events with the Covid19 virus, and it's side effects I'm reminded of what I heard/read about The Great Depression. So that got me to thinking that this was also Delta's early years when they had to compete for buyers scarce spending dollars. Most of my machines are from this period in both our country's, and Delta's History. Being that most of my machines are now approaching 90 years old, and not being a purist I have where needed used parts from later model machines to replace hard to, if not impossible to find parts. I do so in a manner that can be reversed if original parts ever do find their way my way. The purists call me a Resto-Modder. I also can't/won't/don't even try to compete with the true collectors that pay top dollar. One of Delta's selling points involved the way their machines could be assembled into combo units that could be powered by a single motor, or if you lacked electric power by an engine. I've looked years for a couple sets of the metal bench legs that Delta offered. But the one's I do see are way out of my price range. I do however have a set of legs from a Delta scroll saw stand, so I might just see if I can't make a pair. My intention is to build two of the benches for a pair of combinations. The first will be a bench similar to below that will support 3 of my Resto-Modded machines. The second will support an 8" TS 4" jointer and an 11" lathe. So now if only the weather would cooperate!
  14. I've found the information in these catalog snips very useful over the years redoing my old machines. But every time I've needed them I've had to look to find them, so I'm putting them here so I can find them easier. Hopefully you will find them useful yourself. Around 1972 Delta changed the catalog numbers. Instead of ordering a pulley and having to specify the bore size you ordered by a specific catalog number. These and other 5 digit catalog numbers were then again changed around 1983. The new numbers were 12 digit. The below links will take you to the 5 digit to 12 digit conversion tables. Part one. http://www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=1087 Part two. http://www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=1088 The 718, and 720 pullies were used on quite a few Delta machines over the years. They are commonly found on the 4 speed scroll saws, wood/metal bandsaw, and a few others. The 932 was commonly used on the Delta 9", 10", 11", and 12" wood lathes. This is the pulley that matches the lathe headstock pulley. The 985 is more commonly referred to as the DP 260 pulley. It is the matching motor pulley used on the smaller Delta 4 speed Drill Press's. It is used on both the standard, and Slo-Speed Drill Press's
  15. Last Sunday my neighbor called me stating he found one of those Delta machine lamps I had showed him. ...He didn't tell me it was attached to a machine. First a view of the lamp. Turns out it was attached to a 1939-40 Delta Catalog No. 645 11" DP, that in spite of being damaged was in pretty nice shape. First a photo showing the damage.It appears to have been dumped on it's top at some point in it's life. You can see the replacement motor pulley on the left. Even the decals don't look to shabby. Early SN 1-8660. And to top it off a nice Delta 1/3 HP RI Motor! Amazing what people put out by the curb! Right in my price range "If you're taking the lamp, the rest goes with it." Gotta love curb shopping!

    Hey Folks, I have a used Delta LA 200 and am looking for parts which is quite a challenge since they are no longer produced. I did find a power switch but I need a handle to lock the quill. I see many lathes that this part seems to fail on and was wondering if anyone knew of the thread and bolt size required. It did not have the handle when I bought it (just a bolt and vice grips) but am thinking that if it matches the handles on other lathes then I could just buy a replacement part for one of them. Thanks, Joe
  17. Ok, here's the last machine from my Monday "I'm just going to look" haul. So when the Craig's List poster told me he had machines in the garage loft I just had to look. So up into the loft we go, and what do I spot? This machine first appeared in the 1933 Delta general line catalog. It was the table saw that became the Homecraft 34-160 after WWII. There's probably a ton of them out there, but I've been after an early one for a long time. Why an early one? Here's why! Only the early machines had "DELTA" cast into the side of the machine. Later versions wore a badge. This one even has the optional table extension, and most of a blade guard. This one's missing a few parts, some of which I'm sure are in my parts stash. If I remember correctly I've got both the dado, and moulding inserts to fit this machine. It's also missing the fence, and rails just like the 20-200.
  18. I visited a friend today who is moving to a retirement community in August. He had a very complete shop and while the community has a woodshop, they could not use all his donations. He's sold some and wanted me to come over and pick up two grinders that he wanted to donate to the woodworking club. Well, low and behold, he had a couple more things. One was a mortising machine that he offered me for free. I have been trying to find an efficient way to cut mortises for a while. I have a BeadLock but it's slow and you either need to chisel out the sides or buy the proprietary tenons. Never got around to figuring out a router jig for mortising. Can't wait to try it out.
  19. I have a friend that just bought a Delta 43-379 shaper and it is missing a 1/2” collet. Collet part number is 698799. Anyone have a spare one that they want to sell? Message me here on site
  20. I received a text today from a friend asking me if I knew anyone that was looking for a bandsaw. After playing 20 questions, I found out that the saw is a Delta 28-241. It’s a 14” saw with riser and is on a stock Delta mobile base. It belongs to a mutual friend of ours that is moving. Price .......$150. It’s now mine.
  21. I planned this out and put it together a couple years ago, it has a Thein style dust plate inside the seperator drum. I'm extremely happy, and proud of this project.
  22. Dear folks, I have been in a quandary lately, I have some extra funds for this year, and I would like to purchase a table saw. But I cannot decide which one I want, so I am coming to the membership to help me decide. You'll see a poll I created with the table saws I have in mind to purchase. Can you please participate in my poll, and vote for the brand you find most reliable in your experience. Thanks! This is a test topic for our new polling feature, please see tutorial at:
  23. I have an old Delta 40-560 scroll saw. The air diaphragm, or bellows, that generates the air flow to keep the cut line free of dust is shot. I can't find a replacement for this part anywhere. I emailed Delta, but they don't have a replacement. They recommended I check with another company that specializes in obsolete and discontinued parts, but I struck out there. So here is my question. You know the flex seal product, where the pitch man sticks a patch on a leaking 5 gal bucket of water, or cuts a boat in half and then fixes it with the tape version of this product? Would that fix the bellows on my scroll saw? I'm thinking of a quick dip in a can of this stuff, or maybe painting a layer on the bellows with an acid brush. I use a scroll saw so seldom that a purchase of a new one, or even a used one, just doesn't make sense. Everything else works fine. I can use it this way if necessary, but after a while I get dizzy from trying to blow a steady stream of air so that I can see where I am cutting. Any suggestions?
