Going to an auction one day and spied this in another back yard
Smallpatch posted a topic in Old Woodworking Machinery
I bought a table drill press at auction one day while spending some time close to South Fork, Colo It was just the thing I had been looking for so I could mount it up high so my eyes were next to the small drill bits I used for drilling very small holes when I did inside scroll sawing. I wanted to see if having that drill bit up where my eyes stay most of the time I could actually see where the end of the bit would be going in to the wood and not on the lines like I did sometimes causing a little trouble making the holes disappear when finished sawing a pattern out.. Well, as I was leaving I noticed a garage sale sign next door so as I was pulling in I noticed this old lathe laying in do-do of a horse coral. I looked around for a while and couldn't see anything I was interested in and said you got anything else you want to get rid of???? He said yes I do have some stuff I had almost all my life and it just sat there in my way for I bought a new better one. I offered 20 and he said I will help you load it. . I also bought a used dust extractor sitting there under the picknick table that I only use for one of my drum sanders. Sitting in an Rv park for 3 months got a little boring so the next year I Loaded every thing it took to saw out the four jewelry boxes I glued together after getting back home. Amazing what you can do with these old machines.

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.

I bought this one for 85 bucks from a fellow who was selling a Rockwell Scroll Saw. I purchased the scroll saw, but I also saw the DP sitting there and he said he'd let me have it. So here it is, I have had it for about 6 years and love it. Plus, 85 bucks! You can't even get a bench top model for that much. The table is a Rockler thinga ma jig that I bought on a whim. It works, but it has it's draw backs, when I have the time, I will build my own. I love the old Allen Bradley switch the DP came with. The motor is not the original, I need to track down a 1hp Delta vintage motor.
