Unisaw miter gauge

[Grant Lalibertre]

Can anyone tell me what the correct miter gauge is for the 1953 Delta unisaw? Part number?

Thank You

Check the publications over on vintage machinery.

I checked the manual for my 1968 Unisaw in case that would be of any help but I see that it's complicated. They list two miter gauge options, 34-884 and 50-864, but don't specify what the differences are or which is the new or old style for 1968.

By all means get an original, just don't use it. That old accu-set miter gauge may have been ok in its day but it pales in comparison to modern miter gauges. I have one I'd move along from 1954 if your interested. I'll also have to find it as it doesn't get used.

A correct miter gauge is one that provides correct cuts. Some of the older ones just don't cut it.
