Delta Milwaukee DeltaShop - Combo Saw, jointer, drill press

Delta Milwaukee DeltaShop - Combo Saw, jointer, drill press

I inherited this Deltashop from my Father-in-Law. Components include the 8 inch saw, jointer, drill press, disk sander, plus a tenoning jig, and saber attachment.

It went through Katrina, the drill press spindle and chuck were frozen, and there was a fair amount of rust just about everywhere.

I am now using the saw, with great results. I will be soon using all the other attachments as well, after some more clean-up.

The serial number on the unit is AR 3096.

I am interested in hearing from other fortunate owners of this particular model.

It is so well-built that I expect that my grandsons will be able to use it for many years.

I am interested in sources for parts, especially the spindle assembly and add-on safety parts.

Help
by: Zachary Edgar

Just picked up one of these machines, how do you attach drive belt to the saw to power accessories? Am I missing some sort of arbor that goes in place of the blade?
Does anyone know what belt lengths are for all accessories?

I just bought a 34-530 DeltaShop. Does anyone have a manual that can copy and share or sell? I need info on pulley sizes and belt lengths. Mine has the drill press so 3 belts are required

Rescued Deltashop
by: Terry Lemons

Rescued a DeltaSHOP from a trip to the dump a few years back. No manual but it seems to be fairly complete. In process of cleaning and getting going again. Any value to it?

Used/New Parts
by: Clip

I just bought one of these from my neighbor. Just vacuumed it off a few minutes ago. Don't even have it all together.

Got on the internet to see what I could find and I found that most (not all, but most) of the parts can be found on eBay.

I might be able to answer the question about the size of the belt in a day or so.

Update to my post
by: Tom

At least two questions have come up about the hook-up between the table saw arbor and the drill press pulleys.

I use an MBL "Three Stars" 4L900 V-belt, available at hardware stores. Proper belt tensioning is important, by raising and lowering the table saw arbor.

On my model, the height of the entire drill press assembly can be raised or lowered, using the two set screws at the top of the assembly. By adjusting both ends, the same belt could be used to get the lowest speed setting.

I also discovered the importance of firmly seating the drill press attachment against the table saw, to eliminate vibration.

I've been using the table saw now for over six years. It works great with sleds to get precision cuts

Michael,
The drill press is driven by the saw arbor which uses a 2 1/4" pulley. It takes a 90 X 7/16" belt.

Question on drill press for Deltashop
by: Anonymous

Hello,
I just bought the same set-up at a yard sale in Phoenix. Currently, I am cleaning the parts and trying to figure out the assembly. After finding some instructions on the web, I believe I am missing the lock screw clamp of the drill press mount bracket. So far, I could not find any pictures/photos that show this detail, what it looks like and how it fits into the saw table insert opening. Can anybody help?

Thanks!
Tobias

Drill press belt
by: Tom

Dan,

You should have two pulleys for the saw arbor. One is 3 inch for "high" speeds, the other is 2&1/4 inch for "slow" speeds.

Raise the saw arbor to the highest position, remove the hex nut and the blade.

I went to Ace hardware and bought a 1/2 inch X 90 inch V belt( part no HH 10804).

It easily mounts on the drill pulley,(hex nut facing in on the arbor) the idler pulleys at the top and the cone pulley inside the housing on top. Then lower the arbor until it is tensioned not to slip during operation.

I also have a kill switch I mounted overhead, so I can cut off the drill quickly.

Hope this helps, if you haven't already gotten the info elsewhere.

HOMECRAFT SAW, JOINTER, DRILL PRESS
by: DAN

Hey There, I have one that was my fathers. He bought it around 1954. Does any one know the belt size for running the drill press? I have everything else but the belt. It was lost when we moved in 1958 and the drill press has not been used since. Please contact me at: dlmiv@yahoo.com

deltashop
by: Al G

i got mine in 1982,, included all parts and acessories (even the beautiful Delta brad pt. bits, unused) all the original manuals, parts lists, Delta's advertising pamphleand some original project plans.. original owner built a beautiful house in Placitas, New Mexico with it. i'm in rio rancho, NM. i'd like to know when it was made? i've "upgraded" every machine in my shop,many times, over the years but... the castings and machining on the Deltashop are superior. absolutely nothing wrong with it. i've never wanted to part with, even though i use it rarely and it takes up alot of space in my shop. it really is a good example of how we used to make machines i've finally decided to sell it? anyone interested? any offers? ,FYI,the drill press belt is driven by a 5/8" bore pulley on the table saw arbor-no keyway or set screw-adjusted by raising and lowering the arbor. great machine, never seen another one. e-mail me, Al @ ggaarden4@q.com.

Tom,

I recently received a Delta Milwaukee homecraft Delta shop from someone who just wanted it out of thier garage. It has all the same attachments as yours does but the problem I am having is hookingup the drive belt for the drillpress. FFroom you photo I can see that it goes into the saw part but can't tell if there is a seprate pully for the belt or what. Could you take pics of the drive belt hook up and send them to me please. I am in the process of cleaning and fixing. Got the saw to work and the Jointer but need to know if I am missing a part for the drillpress belt.

Any assistance you could render would be greatly appreciated.
