Accuracy -- Long Life -- Convenience with a Delta 10" Unisaw!
The Delta Unisaw has been one of the mainstays in home and industrial wood shops for over 60 years. No woodshop should be without one. Share your Unisaw Pictures with other visitors to this site.
In 1949, the Delta-Milwaukee 10" Tilting Arbor Circular Saw was a completely self-contained motor and driving mechanism in a strong steel cabinet type base. The saw table was 20 x 27 inches with optional cast iron extension wings that made it 36" wide by 27" deep. With the standard rails and rip fence, it cut to the center of a 50" panel and ripped stock up to 3 1/8" thick.
The saw blade tilted 45 degrees to the right, operated by
a large convenient hand wheel. The blade was raised and lowered by another hand wheel at the front of the saw cabinet. Dado heads, molding cutters and many other attachments could be used to add to the versatility of the Unisaw. The carriage swung on trunions that were large, heavy, and strong with working surfaces completely machined.
The rip fence bar extended over the rear edge of the table and the fence locked both front and rear, the rear lock being operated from the front of the fence. The standard guide bars allowed the fence to be moved 25" to the right of the saw blade and 15" to the left of the blade. The front guide bar was graduated for quick setting of the fence. It also featured a micro adjust knob for fine movements.
The saw arbor bracket was a very heavy casting, with accurately machined teeth to fit the raising and lowering worm gear, and with accurate adjustable stops to limit up and down travel. The shaft was carried in two sealed-for-life ball bearings mounted in diamond bored bearing seats.
