the 10'? Since it was advertised as an 11X36 and is obviously NOT 36' between centers, isn't it possible that it isn't an 11' swing either? I have the serial number. So, either the thread table has been replaced by a Delta plate or if original, suggests that this lathe is newer than '84.Īnother concern is how do I know this is an 11' vs. Instead it reads D-E-L-T-AĪccording to Tony's site, Delta bought Rockwell lathes in 1984. The thread table plate above the left gear selector did NOT read A-B-C-D-E as the Army Rockwell Manual indicates. I just remembered something I saw when I looked at the lathe and was wondering if there is any significance. Its a bit divergent from the original thread, so I thought I'd repost to a new one. It is much much more common to have 5hp 3 phase saws in a commercial shop and not 3hp single phase.I posted the following in the '11X36 Rockwell' thread, but that thread may have already run its course. Ive only seen a handful of single phase unisaws in commercial shops and each time i saw the PH: 1, there was a look of surprise on my face. Please triple check it is single phase before you give them money. This is coming from a guy that changes air filters, oil, and thats about it on his car. Serial number tags found on saws after 1952 will indicate a Pittsburgh address though during a short period right after the move it appears that left over tags marked Milwaukee made it onto a number of machines. 1952: Manufacturing was moved to Tupelo, MS following the closing of the Delta plant in Milwaukee. They do it right, and you wont break a sweat. 1 - Site of manufacture 1939: Unisaws were made in Milwaukee, WI. Spend the $10-20 at a shop for them to do the work for you. I did 3 unisaws last year, and that bearing puller and i dont ended with bad blood in the pep boy's parking lot. They will rent it for free, but it sucks so bad to use. It is such a pain in the ass to pull the bearing from the arbor with a cheapo pulley/bearing puller from pep boys. Then, order your 3 belts from Joe at plaza machinery and assemble the whole thing for a top notch saw. Take the arbor to a machine shop/mechanic to pull the bearing and put on a new one. I would then take it home, disassemble the thing following delta's youtube video.

If it were me, i would take $500 to that school and tell them it's an industrial setting saw and they should be glad to have $500 to get it off their hands. They are made of aluminum and measure 1' x 4' with rivet holes approximately 3-3/4' on center. There is a video that delta produced with some old guy yanking the saw apart and replacing the arbor bearing. Delta Oilboard Serial Number Plate Style 3 plates were introduced in late 1947.

Well, the guy has snap-on tools, and I have a 1950s set of craftsman wrenches from my grandpap's estate. I am no mechanic. Brendon kind of is, i think.
