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.
