That heavy duty cart in the last picture is fantastic. You have a better bone pile than most.

Home-made-looking saw an jointer and things I can’t identify..motor is delta Rockwell and close to date on the others. 1948. Is 110 and runs. Guess I need a wood working course. Should crop out the lady at the store..[emoji38]

The Jointer is probably the more valuable tool assuming you already have a decent table saw. You'll be slightly limited on size because I'm assuming it's a 4"er.

Those little combo setups are very very cool but smaller and the table saw is more "dangerous" than a tilting arbor saw but still awesome.

What are your plans for it?

The lockable tool cart was at a scrap yard...had just been up late reading theno-name cabinet post section on this site and the next morning saw that thing and almost crashed my truck turning around! Former aircraft mech box with aviation parts in it. $50.00 the combo was seventy. Will clean it up and learn to use or maybe sell later. Just couldn’t let it go.. the Missus loves old iron as much as I do so it’s okay

Tools and blades came with saw combo

The jointer is the only thing possibly worth keeping. Those tilt top table saws are dangerous to use.

.......... Those tilt top table saws are dangerous to use.

Maybe I guess.... any tool can be hazardous if you’re not careful. I use mine a lot. It’s a great little saw.

If you are making mostly "square" cuts, you will be fine. You could probably part that out and make your money back.

Nice find. I have that same saw.
Coincidentally, I have the same rolling drawer cabinet/wood top as well.
It came with an Atlas Lathe on top ( : $50 : )

 

[Stillgottimefor1]

Jim C. That is so clean and cool. And You with the lathe! Outrageous...any idea who made the box?

 

[Stillgottimefor1]

Mintgrun you win. Here’s pictures of some of the aviation stuff that was in the box.

Thanks! Believe it or not, that saw is in 100% original condition. It was manufactured in 1947 and belonged to a childhood friend’s father. I made my first woodworking project, a small birdhouse, using that saw. I was about ten at the time. Of course my friend’s father was closely supervising us. Anyway, when my friend’s dad passed about 25 years ago, no one wanted the saw. The family offered it to me. The following weekend, I drove about six hours one way to pick it up. I usually set the saw up for dedicated production type cuts and most recently used it to replace all the window sash in my house. It’s a great little saw. Tilting the table to make cuts does require extreme care and caution. A saw with a tilting blade, versus a tilting table, is probably a little safer to use. But again, ALL power tools should be used with care. Good luck with your saw. I hope you get it up and running.

You can convert a tilting table saw to a tilting arbor saw by making a shroud stand that supports the saw by the table. Then, the entire saw tilts, and is supported by the stand, while the table remains stationary. Iv'e seen this done a couple of times, on these old delta saws.

I personally would not do it; I have a $50 Craftsman 10 inch saw that's equal or better than these old deltas, and recently bought a 3 hp unisaw in perfect condition with a Biesemeyer fence for $250. For that kind of cash, I absolutely would not take on modifying one of these old saws.

I bought a tilting saw/6" jointer set a few years ago for the 6" jointer, which was in excellent condition. I kept it and sold off the saw cheap, ending up in the jointer for about $25. The jointer is excellent; but I wouldn't use the saw if I absolutely didn't have to.

On your jointer be sure that the top is flat, if not you will either have one heck of a time in repairing it to a full flat face; which sometimes calls for machine shop time which eats up your wallet, hopefully the bed is 100% flat and not damaged.

This little guy is a Dovetail jig. Pretty cool once you get the hang of it...

Thanks, hope i live long enough to learn to use it![emoji854] the newer ones look cheap and plastic, this thing has some coolness....worth anything? You want it?

I don't know what one's like that are worth, but I picked up a 1980's Craftsman jig for $5 a couple of month ago

Yours is probably 1950's. More stout
