(In my experience, this motor has been very reliable. The bullet motor, while made by Marathon Electric Motor, does not have the typical Delta label and is likely to not be original. The miter gauge is a Rockwell and not original. I have never owned the goose-egg motor cover or original electrical switch box.
#DELTA UNISAW WEIGHT SERIAL NUMBER#
The serial number is 38-2290, indicating that it was manufactured in Milwaukee in 1945.
The saw is set up for 220-volt, single-phase operation. I am selling my Delta Unisaw, which I have owned for twenty years. Vintage Delta Unisaw with 50-inch Biesemeyer t-square fence, blade guard, and mobile base. The following video is not me, I found it on youtube on the Woodriver mobile base.Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.ĭelta Specialty/Delta Mfg. Looks like on Amazon, the Woodriver Mobile Base is from WoodCraft. I also found a review of this same design base, but from the WoodCraft store that was quite positive. Actually the Woodriver and Woodstock units on Amazon only have a few reviews, but they are positive. A good number of reviews on Amazon back up this concern as a reality.Ĭonclusion: It looks like the Steel City unit. A concern on the HTC is that the foot pedals are plastic, and there is a concern that they could break. It does require supplying a strong ¾ inch plywood base though, and does not readily adjustable should you ever want to mount it to another piece of equipment. They are both very close in weight capacity, but the Steel city is about half the price. Having 2 Foot Pedals, does require more motion and time to go around to both sides of the saw to get it rolling, but this is a sacrifice that seems necessary for easy access to the foot pedals(compared to the center mount of the 3 caster unit).Ĭost: This leaves me with the HTC3000, and the Steel City unit left. They will lower to the ground for a truly fixed tool, yet will raise the unit easily by a quick step on the pedal. The Foot Pedal units seem like the way to go. I don’t think this is enough benefit though to overcome the movement that could happen while sawing with locking casters. Note that the Rockler All Terrain has larger diameter caster which makes rolling over small obstacles easier. The Previous owner had installed non locking swivel casters, and the table moved too much with big or heavy pieces. This is one of the biggest problems I’ve had up to this point with my saw. A locking caster in my experience still allows some movement, and if you are trying to rip a big heavy hardwood slab, or an awkward sheet of plywood, you don’t want any movement of your saw. There are two locking Caster units, the Jet and the Rockler All-Terrain. This sounds like a pain, and eliminates this unit for me. All of the remaining units have 4 casters.Ĭaster/Lift Type: The hand screws of the Shop Fox require bending down and multiple turning action of two screws. If an extension table is mounted, which would typically be mounted on the side of the foot pedal, would you be able to easily activate the foot pedal from the side, since you could not stand in line with it? This seems like a negative drawback, making it a less likely candidate. Number of Casters: Only one 3 wheel candidate is left, the Rockler. Once I also add an extension table, the weight will likely be above 400lb, which eliminates the HTC2000 and the Delta. The Bosch router is normally mounted, adding to the total weight.
#DELTA UNISAW WEIGHT PLUS#
Weight Capacity: Mine is a heavy saw with additional cast iron, plus added wing extension that serves as a router table. Delta does not make a mobile base to fit these older Unisaws, and therefore I am reviewing the above universal bases for my saw. I have an old 1953 Delta Unisaw with a cast iron base.
