I just picked this "industrial" table saw up at auction for $351.00. I've been wanting a decent table saw for a long time and Delta seems to be a good name in the biz so I just lept without looking. Turns out there's little to no info on them on the internet. Plenty of info on the 36-752 saw but...

Does anybody know anything about these things? All I know is that the original owner bought it around 1946 and that it's a Delta Homecraft. Don't know blade size or horsepower. I suspected that this was a tilt table design but the seller claims its a tilt blade. That and the blade size are my...

Sorry for the bad picture. If you can't see it clearly, this slide has a semi-spherical cut removed from the back bottom portion of the slide. The first time I saw such a cut I figured it was a home done job. But then I saw it again so now I'm thinking it must be from the factory. Here's the...

I'm currently working on a 6" Parker with a swivel base. The locking mechanism for this thing works, basically, just like a brake drum. My question is, which of these parts should I paint? All of them? None of them? Given the manner in which it works I wasn't sure if paint would last long on it...

Pictures say it all. Looks like it was made in California. Los Angeles maybe? Tough to see under the grime. Can anyone make out the company or know who was making vises out of LA?

1/3 hp Craftsman block grinder. This thing is nearly flawless. Rockwell Delta Homecraft drill press. Again... just a little dusty but otherwise flawless. Has a corrosion ring on the table that'll come right off. Vintage Waterloo machinists tool chest. Has some surface rust on the base...

Anybody recognize what this is? I can't make out the lettering at all. Thanks for your help. -Vne

[/URL][/IMG] Sorry for the potato pic. It's from an online site. The vise looks like a Reed to me but I can't figure out what the peg in the top of the static jaw towards the rear is. I thought maybe it was an indication of a swiveling static jaw but I sure can't make out the seam between the...

First post of a new member! Hello all. I have a confession to make. I have an addiction. It's new to me and it's bad. For the last 3 days I have been combing Craigslist and online auctions for vintage, American made, vises. It's become my new vice. I have a crumby harbor freight vise that...
