My New Old Table Saw

Once again, I neglected to pick up the camera as the first tool for the project.  Thus, I have no before shots of a 1970s-era Delta/Rockwell Contractor's Table Saw that I rescued last year.  It was destined for the scrap yard.  After countless hours of tearing it down, cleaning, polishing, painting and with less than $100 in new parts, the most expensive of which was the new 60 tooth blade, it's good as new.  Cuts wood as if it was warm butter.  The motor is super quiet -- as table saw motors go.

If you're interested in seeing other restoration projects I'm involved with, head over to The Vermillion Guild's blog.

To give a sense of its condition when it arrived, here's a shot of the rusty table.

Here's the restored c. 1974 Delta/Rockwell Contractor's Saw.
