Over the weekend, I have upgraded the old Delta contractor saw; probably didn't need to, but I couldn't pass this one up. I'm not sure if this is gloat worthy, but I'm thinking it may be pretty close.
It's a 1975, same model year as me, Unisaw, model 34-466. It's a single phase, 220v 1.5HP. My contractor saw was also 220 1.5HP, but this seems like it's putting quite a bit more power to the blade. It needed a few minor tweeks and a good cleaning, but the seller provided me with the parts required to make the fixes. The arbor threads were pretty stripped, so I installed a new arbor (included) and changed the bearings (also included) while I had it apart. The castings, gears, etc. were in perfect condition. I still need to install a mag switch; I have it on a toggle for now, just to hear it purr. The seller also included an extra front and rear trunnion brackets and an extra cast iron extension; not sure what to do with these for now. This saw also included a 54" Beiseimer Fence, which is already on the contractor saw which will soon be up for sale. I like my old Unifence, which is now mated to the Unisaw. Thanks for the help in my previous thread asking for help learning more about this saw. It's now going to live out it's life in my shop!
