    Guess the Delta bandsaw model

    Had this old girl given to me. Any model markings that were on it are long gone. The blade appears to be 150” which narrows it down to around 8 models. There’s a few pieces that need replacing and I don’t want to order from the wrong model diagram. Also, I’m hoping to get some Carter upgraded guides and i’m unsure of which to get. The Delta 20” shows 3 options and none really fit my situation. Possibly a type C but there’s 1 bolt mounting it to a piece that’s bolted to the frame that holds the table. The Carter guide says it bolts to the saw frame and shows 2 bolt holes. Any ideas?
    thanks

    Nothing matched at vintage machinery unfortunately. I looked there first. I’ll give your other suggestion a try. Thanks!

    Did you search under Rockwell Manufacturing on the vintagemachinery site? That machine bears a strong resemblance to a 28-3X0.

    Yup, that’s the common 20” Delta/Rockwell bandsaw from the ‘70’s and ‘80’s (?).

    Edit: maybe one of these:

    The Rockwell 28-3x0 and the second one you listed, Matt, both look like it. Definitely not variable speed. That really helps guys. Thanks!
