    Homecraft was the homeowner/hobbyist brand of Delta in the 1950's and early 60's. Heavy, all cast iron. Go to OWWM.org for any and all questions. Also will be able to acquire any parts that you might need. I've got a Homecraft 8" table saw and 9" sander. Great machines built in the USA.

    DEconstruction of barn/garage in Northern NH?

    I took down a 75 year old barn last fall. 30x40. Rented a scaffold and wore out a $20 Harbor Freight recip saw. Very doable. Kept the wood, using in my new barn/shop.
