Delta Homecraft 8" Table Saw - 4" Jointer Combo

In the late 1950's, Delta sold the Homecraft Saw-Jointer Combination. This combination of a No. 34-500 8" tilting arbor circular saw and a No. 37-110 4" jointer were mounted on one stand and were operated by one motor.

With the saw and jointer mounted on one stand, Delta advertised that customers would save valuable workspace. Casters made it possible to store it anywhere and roll it out when you were ready to work.

One motor powered both machines keeping costs lower. The table saw or the jointer could be operated singly or together. The basic machine was listed as the No. 34-640 Saw-Jointer Combination Unit and also included the No. 37-113 Jointer Raising Block, No. 50-308 Stand, No. 49-1888 V-Belt and Motor Pulley Group. Without the motor, the unit weighed 207 lbs.
