    Default Latest Tool Rehab

    I thought I'd post a pic or 2 of my latest tool project.

    I purchased a 1953 Delta Unisaw cabinet-saw on the 18th of December & had it at a friends shop to get it cleaned up & repainted & the tables made.

    I brought it home in February. Original coast $250 finished cost about $900.

    I still have to build the router table fence & mount the router under the table.

    The first picture is what it looked like before I started the rehab. :eek: The rest of the shots are what came out of all that work.

    It ended up about 1/2" short of 8 ft long from end to end.

    I just smile every time I use it. Next project is a cabinet to go under the right extension table. I just picked up the material for its face frame today.

    There isn't anything like old steel. I see it is the same age as yourself - was this intentional?
    You have created an excellent multi-function machine.
    Cheers,

    No the age of the saw was an accident. I was just glad to get it.

    Looks great,
    What did you use for the router inlay Bart? I tried a Triton one, but it does not have a uniform depth (pressed metal), thus it has been a pain to set flat.
    Cheers, Steve

    You can see it here if you purchase one get the template it makes it a lot easier. This one has height adjusters & when you first look at it it has a crown in the middle & you'll wonder how is that going to work. I set my Hitachi M12V on top & it flattened out just fine.

    Thanks Bart,
    Did you purchase the template as well?

    If so, could you done without it or did it just make the making of the insert hole just too easy I'd be mad not to get it as well?
    Cheers, Steve

    I purchased the Template & it does make it easier. I'd buy it again.
