"Back From The Archives" I got this old saw last week at a garage sale. I am still trying to find out what I have and what I should do with it. Check out my pictures, I think it is a Delta 1160. Any way of knowing the age of these? It has no serial no. Questions Are these old saws valuable or should I just give it a coat of paint and use it? It is very well made and in pretty good condition. I am not too crazy about the tilt table but I am not a heavy duty wood worker and it will only see light duty ocasional work. But would I be better off selling this to a collector, and buying a newer saw that would be more practical. I love well made equipment ( I hate plastic crud) so if I replaced it it would be with another old saw. Randy

Delta 1160 "Tilty" (An Email Sent into Us, Any Help Appreciated!)
John Morris posted a topic in Old Woodworking Machinery
"Back From The Archives" Hello I have an 1160, and am looking to find a couple of parts. The gears that mesh to move the table up and down are worn, and don't work well. I saw that you restored one in the past and wondered if you had any secret stashes of parts or knew who might. Delta has discontinued these parts (my saw was made in the 40's, so I don't blame them), and they don't even provide a part number I might search the web with. I absolutely love this saw. Dont tilt the table at all. It was my fathers saw, and I have used it extensively over the years. It is the "cabinet makers" model which came on a stand with a 6" jointer as well. I would hate to lose it! Let me know if you have any secrets I can use! Thanks in advance. Neal Kobylik 810-252-9550 nealkobylik@hotmail.com
