Thanks.

I agree with not using until wiring confirmed. My goal was determining if the motor is dead or alive. Looks like it is alive. The overload seems to be gone, but the wholes look like...

Well, I bought this saw a few days ago. An interesting experience, as usual. I will post details when I have figured things out a bit more. I will also pm you with an address for the files you...

Thanks. Owner says this motor is 1 inch arbor. Maybe he is mistaken since he has never actually used the saw or even started the motor as far as I can tell.

Simple related question. Many users recommend running a 10 inch blade on the 1512 even though it can accept a 12 inch blade and the motor is configured correspondingly. How does one mount a 10 "...

Not entirely unexpectedly the deal fell through, at least for now. Turns out the owner can't mount the saw to the table ( a missing metal plate must be fabricated) and he has never actually seen the...

Thanks. I'm convinced this will be a good addition, assuming the saw is in reasonable shape and mostly complete. It does need a table, but this may be better shop made anyway. Thanks for the Delphi...

I am seeking experience and opinion from users, or anyone really with information, about the quality of this saw. I am in the process of acquiring one with the goal of using it as a dedicated cross...

does the upside down peace sign below mean this not one of the better quality Rockwell RAS? (This is not the 9 inch saw I have, but another that is knocking around.)

This discussion is very useful, thanks. Sounds like RAS can handle many tasks well but cannot rapidly switch between them unless precision is not important. I'll see how it goes with the one I have...

I've always been intrigued by the versatility of the RAS but haven't been convinced it would be worthwhile given my limited floor space. (That really isn't consistent, is it?) Anyway, I haven't had...

Right - thanks. I previously bookmarked Steven Edwards' thread as a possible dp table to build.

But I am wondering if lack of slots will...

How important are slots (analogous to "miter gauge slots") in the table of a floor standing drill press? Can most jigs and add on tables be fit without slots? I am looking at a very nice used drill...

Thanks for your advice. I did purchase this Yager planer, SN 2421, for $20.

The owner was able to free up the table raising handwheel, but the table itself remains frozen. I also planned to buy...

Does anyone know whether the 36-220 Type 2 is significantly different from the original 36-220? It seems there is also a 36-220 Type 3. (From what I've read a "non-exploding" blade guard would be an...

So ... what's the difference between Delta and Rockwell 6 inch jointers assuming they are the same model number, something like 37-220. The manuals from owwm.org for this model and these...

Actually, there is no motor! Only found this out after two emails and one phone call. Old tools certainly are an intriguing business. But I figure for $20 almost anything is worthwhile if underneath...

I am considering a used Yager thickness planer available for $20 (needs some work but basically functions), said to be model 2421 though I can't locate that model on line. Any thoughts or experience...

So ... as soon as I committed to buy the combination saw/4 inch jointer for the asking price, the owner decided not to sell.

This has now happened three times since July, all for CL deals...

I didn't feel I needed the ts since I have the 10 inch contractor saw. If I had nothing the combo sounds like a great start. But a dedicated dado blade in the smaller ts might also be convenient....

The $250 6 inch is an old cast iron model with cast iron base. The $50 6 inch is a newer lightweight model. The $50 4 inch is an old cast iron model with a standard Delta/Rockwell steel base *with...

really just starting out:
-Delta 10 inch Contractor saw 34-410
-Delta 9 inch band saw (newer, lighter weight)
-Hitachi 3 HP plunge router
-DeWalt hand held e-drills
-Sawzall (don't ask)
-odd...

I wasn't very clear. Homecraft is an old line of Delta, very good quality but not their "professional" grade. The model number of the jointer sold separately is 37-110.

I have a very limited jointer (and overall woodworking) budget. For $50 I can get used either a relatively new 6 inch Delta jointer in good shape or a "vintage" 4 inch Homecraft jointer. The latter...

Woops. You're right. Thanks.

I've read the posts and there is much info. Thanks to all. Is it reasonable to consider adding a larger motor-side pulley to reach lower rpm? I guess belt length/tension dictates a correspondingly...
