If you know me you know I don't buy new tools. Made an exception today. Found these on the Craiglist and just couldn't pass them up.
These are probably some of the last made in American Delta tools. Not sure if they are any better than the over sea's one though. But I like that they are American made!
Delta LD shaper. Looks to be in very good shape. The table is rusty, that made me feel better about buying it The switch is on the motor and someone has added a second switch which is in pieces. So not sure if it runs. I am betting it as simple as rewiring the switch it will run. Not sure the purpose of the wood on the stand but it's coming off. Polish the top and spit shine her up too.
Fence is just not in the photo.
Bandsaw had a loose blade on it. The owner said he put the blade on and realized he didn't know what he was doing. Got it home, put the blade on, adjusted the tracking and plugged her up. Ran perfect. Adjusted the guides and this is one sweet cutting saw!
Not sure what I am going to do with them. Will clean them up and make them nice and shiny and probably sell or trade them.
