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.

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

Today we found out that Uncle Sugar is handing out more money. I don’t agree with it but since they send it I’ll spend it. I’m going to upgrade my fence system on my 1947 Delta Unisaw. It’s a great saw but the OEM fence needs replaced. Here’s my question. Which fence do you have? Love it? Hate it? What would you buy?

Anyone seen my Uni arbor? After listening to my 1947 Unisaw arbor go chirp, chirp, I decided to tear it down and replace the arbor bearings. Actually, it wasn't too hard to field dress it from the machine and the bearings came out pretty easily. After I got it apart, it felt like I had a couple of square balls in the rear bearing. When I was tearing it down, I could tell by the paint marks that this was the original set of bearings. I sure hope I can get 69 years out of the next set. The tear down also gave me an opportunity to clean the worm gears on the tilt and elevation. Now we wait on the bearings.
