A friend of mine dropped off a NOS Unisaw today. It had been left on a large commercial job [commercial cleanup]at some point and was in his way in his garage when I mentioned I would like to have a saw in my basement while I am building my house.
The saw had never been run. Still has stickers on the belts, original junk Delta blade that came with every old Delta, original splitter/guard, top was rusty, but not a scratch anywhere. Has Jet Lock rails but no fence.
I tipped it over and checked it out, tipped it back over and plugged it in. Fired right up, no issues. Has a 110/220 1.5 HP wired for 220. Saw must be fairly old as it is not covered in warning labels, saw is a Delta but motor still says Rockwell.
Very cool. A guy can't have too many saws. It was so nice that I felt guilty and gave him my old Mountian Bike I built about twenty years ago he has drooled over for a while now. We are both happy. Especially as I am too old and busted up to ride that thing any more......
Now I have to figure out what to do with the fence. I have a couple of Biesys and a Uni fence but no rails and they are on other saws anyway. I just gave away a Jetlock last year when I moved my shop, figures......
I think I'll give it to my wife. Honey, you'll never guess what I got you today..........
