Thread: Invicta Delta Jointer (identification and info)

Can anyone identify the Model Number (or specification) of my recently acquired jointer? Aside from the attached photos, it is 1820mm long and 415mm wide, it is badged as a 3 phase but appears to have been delivered single phase. the only details that I have are those on the compliance plate (in photo)

If anyone can tell me the providence of the brand at the time the machine was manufactured 1985 that would be great as well. The machine will be restored (already started) as these machines deserve to be specked up and put back to work. I am also looking for a copy of the owners manual for the machine - someone may have one that they are willing to scan to me or suggest where I could get one from.

The restoration project will include;

Remove all paint splatter - underway,
Clean and polish all beds and guides back to original - underway,
Flatning of surfaces - if required: have to remove the paint to assess flatness,
Electrical check and assessment of motor, and rewiring to bring up to current safety standard: next,
Strip down and complete clean and lubricate.
Cutter head removal and restoration, haven't got this far yet
Replace bearings with new sealed bearings - Sealed, high spec, non - lubrication style
Blade removal, sharpening - probably professional in the first instance,

upgrades - if anyone has an opinion on the best items would appreciate any feedback/hints

• new blades
• blade setting jig
• a new spiral cutter head (that's going to be expensive)

don't know what else?? suggestions??
