JUST got this out of my vehicle: Although this is my third complete Delta foot feed, this is the first one that has had the added bonus of the MSA pulley. This drill press is absolutely loaded with goodies, the foot feed, the MSA pulley, the retirement light, the on-off pull switch, and...

@wmec627 welcome to the Delta thread, your first entry is beautiful. Nice that you have an original Delta 1116 drum switch, and the cast iron legs to compliment that lathe.

@chargedmr2 That came out absolutely beautiful. Very well executed.

@RSwannabe nice job! Congratulations on finding the cast base with the top pulley guard piece intact. Can you show your work in the Delta thread please? Thread '1920-60s DELTA / ROCKWELL picture thread - Post your Delta!'...

Definitely 1930s. Post in thread '1920-60s DELTA / ROCKWELL picture thread - Post your Delta!' https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/1920-60s-delta-rockwell-picture-thread-post-your-delta.491552/post-9382385

@chargedmr2 that grinder is in outstanding condition for its age. Did it come with the quenching cup as well? That accessory alone made the purchase worthwhile. First rate.

The catalog and grinder brochure only cover 2 years, those grinders, without much mechanical change, were offered for a pretty decent stretch of time. Perhaps it was offered later in the run, or possibly the owner found a 10-in that wasn't working well and commandeered the light shields.

@chargedmr2 that is an exceptional grinder, with all the Tauco branding and a wartime oil-board serial number badge. An outstanding example and fairly rare. On my grinder, only the pedestal badge was a Delta badged over a Tauco.

@chargedmr2 can't wait to see your finished project.

@Snip's that is an absolute needle in a haystack find, wow. Interesting that it does not have a Delta motor, more than likely that is a Porter-Cable badged repulsion induction motor that was made by Master Electric Co. from Dayton, OH. To have the sawdust blower and dust chute still attached...

@chargedmr2 mine was Benjamin Moore Advance paint in satin, merely mixed at Ace. I would imagine BM and SW would be able to match our duplicate each other's colors. Advance is awesome in terms of the open time and hardness; it is cabinet paint after all. Only thing I would do different if I...

Nice find!

Very interesting setup @jmarkwolf , well thought out. The search never ends for the next best dust collection.

I was asked an excellent question via the GJ direct conversation. Regarding the delta grinder SR-242 wrench, it's size and what exactly does it tighten and untighten? The SR-242 wrench came with the Delta grinder and shaper. It was 12-point and sized 9/16" and 7/8". The 9/16" end was useful...
