Just my 2 cents worth, keep the original single phase 66 and swap the fence out and sell the 3 phase saw. I am just not a fan of the VFDs, though others swear by them. Much easier resale on the...

Just my 2 cents worth, keep the original single phase 66 and swap the fence out and sell the 3 phase saw. I am just not a fan of the VFDs, though others swear by them. Much easier resale on the...
Go over to Vintagemachinery.com or OWWM.com. The folks over there can help. Free to join. I get all my old machine manuals from thr VM site.
Go with the air straightener method if you want it directly on top of the cyclone. Doesn't look too difficult to come up with.
I did not see any remarks and I only saved the photos.
As to the questions regarding the direction of the blower and cyclone inlet, I am no expert, but from all I have read, it seems that there is...
Glad to see my topic revived. Unfortunately, mine is still sitting in the corner in its original form and configuration. I haven't done anything with it yet. But I did do some additional research and...
Electricmotorsite.com sells new Leeson and Baldor motors and are very reasonable with great shipping. I have bought several new table saw motors from them. You can also go over to OWWM.com and join...
Doug,
As in most Delta 14" saws the pulley will have a set screw holding it in place, possibly two of them. In some instances you will find a set screw in place with another set screw on top of...
As others have said, get the from Lynn at Accurate Bearing. She is indeed the expert. Got my DP600 quill bearings and motor bearings from them. It has been three years since I did mine, so I cannot...
Patrick,
There is a 5 part You Tube series on the restoration of the Delta DP600 drill press. The spindle is addressed in Part 4 of the series. Maybe this will help. Fast forward to 14:46 of the...
Congrats Joel! You will like that saw a lot. The blades were a nice addition. Can't go too wrong with anything that has the Powermatic and McMinnville label on it.
The Powermatic 141 is a fantastic saw, built like a tank. Just look at the upper wheel attachment shaft and block vs a Delta or other brands. Solid machined steel. The 141 at $750 is reasonable if it...
Attached the leg set to the new extension table I built for my Unisaw. Red oak frame using my Kreg jig and installed a 1/2" thick white Corian top. Slides like butter. Other than that, the Honey Doo...
Greg,
Now that is a great looking saw you have if I must say so myself.:) I hated to see her go............

Michael, I have one just like it. As a 6" jointer it will do anything needed in that category. Some like larger jointers, but for a hobbyist, as I am, it does the job well. The 3/4 HP motor on it is...
Keep it. they really don't take up that much space. You aren't going to net a lot of money out of a smaller saw like that, but it is still a quite useable machine and will more than do the job it was...
Price is not bad if it's a floor model. But as always, condition, condition, condition and completeness. Missing parts can be a problem with some of the older Walker Turners. Quill bearings and motor...
Good move Ray. Just make sure you inspect everything very closely for cracks etc. Plenty of folks have rebuilt these saws here and over at OWWM, so getting info on your rebuild is a piece of cake....
Dean,
As others have said, you can check with the OWWM guys or the Dewalt forum. Keep in mind, that the GWI can also accept other motors from the Dewalt line. I believe that the motor from the later...
The older PM 66 models are fine machines. I owned a 1972 model and restored it and used it until I got a new saw. Very easy to work on and built like tanks. The old pea green models are worth having....
+2 on the early Biesemeyers using the Formica pads. I'm on my 5th Biesemeyer.....yes, I have an old machine habit. Sell off the excess machines and keep the Biesemeyers and sell them separate or...
I have had two of these saws, one, a 1972 green one, I converted to single phase with a new Leeson motor, the other was an 1984 model with the 5 HP 3phase motor same as the one you are looking at. I...
Check over at the OWWM.com site. They have a section devoted to buying and selling parts on old machinery. Join and post a wanted to buy ad for the parts you are looking for. Good group of folks who...
One thing to keep in mind especially with "estate" type situations is that they are sometimes looking to unload the whole lot to a single buyer vs machine by machine. Just something to keep in mind....
I hate to say this, but I would get rid of all three. You have a Grizzly cabinet saw that will do anything you need it to do. I would suggest saving that floor space for another machine that you need...
As Bill indicated, you can get the manual over at Vintage Machinery/OWWM. Join over there as well, those guys have restored more machines than most of us can count. If you run into trouble with your...
