Single cast, one piece trunion system that is more accurate and precise than trunion assemblies that are made from several different parts bolted together. You get a clear view of the cut line, and it is easy to convert from through cuts to non-through cuts and swap out different thickness riving knives as needed. Tool-free split guard with anti-kickback pawls and an adjustable-height riving knife are easy to remove and adjust. Easy access blade lock lever eliminates the need for two blade wrenches on the Delta tablesaw. Wide throat plate opening makes it easier to change the saw blade. 4300 RPM blade speed, left tilting blade, and a 1-1/8" maximum dado width. There are also storage cradles for the miter gauge and fence under the extension. The drawer has an organizer for accessories (up to 5 blades, the blade guards, throat plates, riving knives, blade wrench, push stick, etc.). A Biesemeyer fence system is standard on all new models of the Delta tablesaw. More table surface in front of the blade than other tools in its class makes it easier to cut long pieces of wood accurately. 31" x 40" cast iron tabletop including cast iron extension wings. The features that are common to all four of the new style Delta table saws are: They all have the same features and are essentially the same saw, just with different extension table sizes and motors. The current crop of Delta Unisaw machines get excellent owner reviews in fact, I did not find a single negative review of the new Unisaw.Ī new line of Delta Unisaw models became available in early 2009.
#OLD DELTA UNISAW PORTABLE#
Over the years, the company has offered a number of different sizes of table saws, including portable and contractor-type models (I actually own a 15+ year old Delta contractor table saw).Ĭurrently, the Unisaw line of cabinet saws are the only models they offer.
Since 1939, Delta table saws (more specifically, the Unisaw models) have been somewhat of a benchmark in woodworking cabinet saws. To see the motors guts, the additions to the saw and to see the rebuilt Unisaw make its first pass through lumber, take a look at the episode V.Delta Table Saws - Review Of The Delta Unisaw With everything back on tract, the rip cut was finally made. We filmed the disassembled motor to get a firsthand look at the motor guts for the video. Over the next few days, with helpful information from the folks at Old Woodworking Machines () and from the site’s message board (/index.php), Steve worked on the motor and found an issue with a spring locked behind a cover near the commutator.
Looks as if the motor needed a rebuild the motor as well as the saw. It became clear the issue was somewhere inside the motor due to tremendous amounts of black soot-like dust that spilled from the motor as we shot compressed air inside. Immediately the saw was turned off and we were left scratching our heads. We had heard the saw running earlier in the morning, but when the call went out to power up the repulsion-induction motor while filming, there was a wobble in its voice. All that was left was to turn on the Unisaw and make a couple quick rip cuts. Steve Shanesy, Popular Woodworking Magazine‘s publisher, walked through the additions made to the saw since the last segment including a shop-made zero-clearance insert, a new fence board and the new motor cover, it’s constructed from 1/4″ Baltic birch plywood and pine strips and looks great attached to the saw cabinet. That’s exactly what happened with the 1944 Delta Unisaw Rebuild.Īs we began to film episode five, the storyboard for the video was writing itself. That wonderful feeling comes just before the bottom drops out. We’ve all been in one of those grooves where everything is going along gangbusters and you have it all under control.
