1938 Delta tablesaw jointer by: Keven Kullberg I also have a saw very much like this one, this was my grandfathers saw that he purchased in 1936 or 1938 problem is everybody thinks (employees) they can pick up the saw and move it lifting on the table. I haven't had time to look at the saw for years but, I have the tools and equipment to possibly make the parts? Kevin@kpgi.us

Delta Combo Saw by: Handymike Hello my name is Mike I live in Los Angeles. I recently purchased a Delta (model# 34-607) 9" Table Saw with a 4" planer on the left side of the table saw. I was told it is a model from late 60s/70s. It was missing the motor. But it seems strange to me that both the Planer and Saw could run off the same motor. I do not believe it was possible since the motor on saw has to tilt with angled cuts. I got the original fence w/saw. I am looking for the motor mounting plate I kno I can fabricate one if unavailable. I may consider selling the whole saw or possibly parts. I have two old Craftmans saws and Iam also looking for parts on a 1987 model 10inch. also built like a tank but it has a bad spot on the tilting shaft rod. I have checked w/Sears but that part is not available . Any one out there know of sources for old parts. I can be reached at: Handymikecandoit@yahoo.com..Thank you.

Delta/Rockwell 1160 front trunion by: Glen I seem to have the same problem as most with this particular saw, broken front trunion.I have found the original schematics online, with part numbers, however it appears, that even new you couldn't get a replacement for this part. If anyone has found where to get one, please contact me at, dreager357@yahoo.com. Thanks

Owners Manual TCS203 by: dave I'm looking for a owners manual for the TCS203 Rockwell/Delta table saw you can contact me at dave7773@verizon.net thanks

Delta 1160 Table Saw Front Trunnion Part by: Dave, South Africa Hi, I'm looking for the "front trunnion" for a Delta 1160 table saw - in parts diagrams, ref no 70. Haven't managed to find a supllier who still has one in stock. Could anyone suggest where I could enquire? I also inherited the unit from my late father and would like to repair this fine piece of equipment. Cheers, Dave.

Delta Combo Saw and Jointer by: Gary I also have a Delta combination table saw and jointer. I inherited it and have been using it for the last 20 years or so. Both the saw and the jointer work great. I suspect that it was originally purchased in about 1940. The only shortcomings for me are lack of portability and unavailability of safety features such as blade guard. I put locking wheels on the legs of the stand so I can at least move it around in my garage, but I have yet to solve the safety problem. Does anyone know of any safety attachments that may be adapted to this saw? I will be posting some pictures of the saw on a separate posting if anyone is interested. If you do see that posting and have any thoughts about exactly when it may have been manufactured or what the current value might be, I would appreciate hearing from you.

I Want to Buy a Delta 1160 Table Saw by: Doug I am really impressed by how heavy and solid the arbor assembly is on these saws. I have a good tilt arbor cabinet saw, but I want to restore my old Delta 1160 tilt-top table saw. Mine has broken trunnions and the main casting (apparently dropped before I bought it). I'm looking to buy replacement trunnions and main casting (TCS 203) or a more or less complete saw with those parts in good condition. I live in Northern California. Contact me at: Doug at yourwoodcraftsman dot com

Delta Model 1160 Tilting Table Table Saw by: Larry Buskirk Hi, The model no. of this saw is 1160. I have the same saw (S/N 11-745). It was introduced in the 1936 Delta Tools catalog. I have all but two of the attachments available for this saw (the no. 871 hold-downs, and 1170 tenon spacer set). I am also missing the original wrenches that came with the saw. I hope to someday find these missing items to make it complete. If anyone has these items, and would like to sell them I can be contacted at lbuskirk@wi.rr.com

Delta saw/jointer by: Fred Schaufele Have a similar saw, including the jointer to the left, powered by a twin shaft motor. This saw has been in our family since the late forties, second rebuild on the motor, and in use everyday in the shop. Have never seen another one like it.

Old Delta by: Gene Freudenberg John, I have just restored an old saw like yours. Mine is a combo with a six inch jointer on the same table. These saws were made from the latter 30's to the early fifties and can usually be dated by the table. Mine was probably made in the mid forties and has the same table style as yours.
