The mag switch powers the VFD, the vfd buttons turn the motor on and off. The built in braking is enough to do the job, you can add a braking resistor if you want it to work faster. Not sure what...

This is my saw, its a 20" Rockwell 3 phase running on 220. The vfd is mounted in the column and gives you the advantage of variable speed as well as braking....
They are nice saws, I have one, an earlier version with the cast aluminum motor cover. Good luck on a VFD for 7 hp. They stop being reasonable after 3 hp. For a motor that large you are looking at...
Did you remove the retainer before you tried to press out the bearing? That could be why it cracked, sometimes you dont notice things like that if you havent done one before. My suggestion would be...
350 is a bit high in my book unless its already been rebuilt. Even a saw that has seen very little use will need bearings if they are original. I had the chance to pick up a 40a but passed on it...
You might try posting a wtb ad over on owwm.org's BOYD forum. That may scare up some parts. I rebuilt a newer version of the same 20" saw a couple of years ago, also 3 phase with the VFD mounted in...
Could be the tag was removed, on mine and others, its up on the non-rotating arm. The last digit or two is probably different depending on motor configuration. Posting a picture would help. ...
For 5 bucks, you cant argue with a tool that gives you good results. Not taking anything away from the OP, I'm glad that he has a good saw that has paid for itself many times over. From my own...
[QUOTE=Ted Wong;1583763]Bob,
Where on the owwm site did you see that picture?
Thanks[/QUOTE

You have a very good DP there, the qualtiy of an old Walker Turner will not be matched in any of the current chiwanese imports. Only way I would trade that machine would be for something along the...
I'm spinning an Amana AGE MD12-480 in a Delta 12/14. Current price over on amazon is about 45 bucks, you can see it here: http://www.amazon.com/AGE-MD12-480-General-X48t-Bore/dp/B000K9HRMU It is...
What is the runout? You need to measure it with a dial indicator to know for sure. They can be had for fairly cheap at HF, about 20 bucks with a magnetic base. You can try and take it on a smooth...
The 36-750 is a hybrid saw, which means that the internals are hung off the top rather than being bolted to the cabinet as a true cabinet saw design (like the unisaw). Most likely this is a chinese...
This saw was manufacturer by Duro. Monkey Ward sold machines under it's house brand name, Powr-Kraft that were sourced from multiple manufacturers, just like sears did w/ Craftsman label. Whether...
This was previously an old round table top that I made a sub-base for and attached a 12" lazy susan bearing in between. I keep it stored up in the attic when not in use. Works quite well, I used it...
I have the older 255 model, and I like it. Got it used for about 450 IIRC, came with a bunch of extra paper rolls. Mine works pretty well. I went over it when I got it and it sands pretty evenly...
It looks reasonably well made. But it all really depends on the condition vs. the price. If you can get it for around a c note, not much to loose. Give it a good going over and check for any...
Your press is actually 10 years older than that, its a 1947. Here is the list out of the OWWM wiki for delta serial nos:
Year From - To
1941 13-0000 - 15-0000
1942 16-0000 - 21-6500...
Jaze
The tires look fine. If you already have bearings ordered, that's good too. Not sure how that lower guide got that way, you should be able to order a replacement from Jet since they are...
There are ways around the 1" miter slots. One way is with using aluminum miter slot extrusions as a filler, the other is milling some UHMW plastic. Both work fairly well.

I'm using a Delta 12/14, but I'm only spinning a 12" blade in it. It will take a 14", but that blade will always stick up out of the top and I don't care for that. For home hobbyiest work, I don't...
The other week I picked up a Rockwell 15" VS press with production table for 100. Also picked up a Delta 6x48 belt/disk sander for 100 last year. Other deals included a Dewalt MBF for 25, Walker...
Wow, thats my saw. I'm not sure how less conventional it is, I just painted it something other than delta gray. The wooden bits are due to having to replace some missing arms with bolts and wanting...
I had the rollers in my Makita 2030 recovered a couple of years ago by them. Very good folks to deal with, just call em up and they will work with you on a price and to arrange shipping.
Kent gave a very succinct answer. Lots of factors, but it is a very desirable press. I just sold a Rockwell version of a very similar press, 15" VS with a 3/4hp 3 phase baldor motor, mag starter...
