Hi all,
Thanks for the membership to the Sawmill Creek community.
A client gave me this Delta Unisaw and attachments this week. I've spent the last two days combing the internet to find pictures to assemble it.
It was stored under the eve of a garage, covered with other stuff. I assume it's been exposed to indirect rain, etc. The top is rusted, appears to be mostly surface rust. Judging from the conversation, this owner purchased it secondhand and never hooked it up. it was last used about 12 to 16 years ago.
I'm familiar with low-end table saws having used them occasionally throughout my life. That said, this thing is a beast. The attachments e.g. slide table, etc, indicate it was used for big operations. I could use help with identifying attachments and maybe parts that are missing.
I could also use advise about how to assess what I got, what needs to be done, etc. Should I contact Delta? or hire a consultant to test & appraise it? Since I was in the market for a $600 contractor table saw anyway, what would I have to to do determine if it's salvagable for my own use? I don't want to put too much into it if it's not salvagable.
I don't have a 240v circuit. I'm asking around to borrow a portable generator with 240v capability, or may rent one. Let's stop there. What are your thoughts with how best to proceed?
Thanks,
Smythe
