Possibly Asian made Delta 20" band saw?

[Dave Cav]

Anyone have any info on this band saw? It appears to be approximately 18 to 20", badged Delta, but possibly Asian made, which would explain why I didn't find any examples on Vintage Machinery.

Sad ending to an iconic American company. Used to be you would buy Delta because of the availability of parts and support. No longer.

28-640? looks like a very capable saw. It is still supported

That looks more Italian than Asian. I had a 24” Meber that looked exactly like that including the table casting.

Thanks. Yes, it's a 28-641 (three phase). The motor nameplate says Taiwan. I can't see the saw data plate, all I have is pictures and not much info from the seller. Yes, it does look a lot like Italian saws. It shares many design features with my Minimax, including the flat Euro-style blade guides. My neighbor is considering it, we may be making a road trip on Monday.

If you get to go, drive safe. I want one of those but don't have 3 phase.
