Rockwell 34-600

I found on Craigslist for cheap!! I have restored it for my son and he will be getting it for Christmas. I think it turned out pretty well.

Selling My old Delta
by: Anonymous

I just bought a 10" Craftsman to replace my little Delta Home Craft. I hate getting rid of it, but the cost of replacing the dead motor, plus the fact that it's so small, I'm slowly building a new kitchen and this little guy just can't do it (for me).

If you are interested let me know, I'll send pics and we can talk, it's in Mason, Ohio 45040.

I'm also getting rid of an old Delta 36" scroll saw that I bought at school auction about 15 years ago. It's the BIG cast iron beast!

My apologies if I'm violating any terms of service, but this seems to be the right group to present this to!

Table Saw motor
by: Anonymous

I already gave the saw to my son; but I think it
had a 1 hp motor on it. Table extensions may be a little scarce, but keep looking and you may find some.

That's My Saw!
by: Steve

Dan,

I have been using the same R/D TS for the past 22 years at home. The motor just croaked. What size motor did you use? Mine was a 13A 3/4 HP motor that always seemed a little underpowered.

I am wanting some table extensions also, do you know if any are available (cast) for this saw?

Nice job BTW.

Table Saw restoration
by: Anonymous

Thanks for the encouragement! I did find a leg set on eBay, but it was $75.00 and due to budget constraints, I used a more modern leg set that I got for only $25. I gave the saw to my son for Christmas and he was flabbergasted- it was a total surprise to him.
I think that this Delta 34-600 is more robust and actually weighs more than my own Craftsman 10" CONTRACTOR SAW. My next project is to restore an old Shopcraft 10" bandsaw. The wheel tires don't look too bad, but if I need new ones, can you suggest a vendor?

Nice job
by: David

You should feel good about you restoration, I have restored the mid 50's Delta Home craft models myself because they are fine machines. The only thing that would put the finishing touch on yours would be an original stand- They do come come available and can be aquired even if there's a busted tool mounted on them.
