I wanted to keep the 3 phase motor because it’s a tank, so I worked with my local motor shop for a phase conversion solution. Many parts were stamped “Made in the USA”. 1970 was before the United States had any political or economic relations with China. The extensive use of castings and heavy gauge sheet metal speaks to the reputation for quality and longevity these saws have earned. Working on the saw, I quickly came to appreciate the quality of construction. Arbor and motor bearings were quiet and solid. Only maintenance on trunnion was lubricating tilt and elevation shaft bushings. A wire wheel on my drill press worked well to clean up many parts, fasteners and the fence rails. I got perfectly matched oil base enamel at Sherwin Williams. The plinth, fence, wings/top edges and the underside of the top needed painting. The cabinet cleaned up well using degreaser, WD-40 and scotch brite pads. The top and wings were smooth with no rust at all. The saw was complete including a Uniguard blade guard.įor 50 years old, the saw was in remarkably good condition. I learned this saw came from a high school wood shop.
1970 Delta/Rockwell Unisaw, model 34-450, serial number EM-9262 purchased in Feb 2021 for $500 from a vintage machinery dealer.
