Got this a few years ago, ( A FEW) finally getting around to fix en her up. It's the 14" model, 28-290. Needed the Table stop pin, ran across Rog's I think his name is, did some reading, and made the stop my self. He also made the tapered pin for the table, but I was not up to trying that, (don't have a taper attachment, did not want to fool with offsetting the tail stock. Got one at ACE for a few dollars, BTW it is a # 6, fits well. Got new "polly" tires, getting it all painted up, cleaned up, Will post more pictures later, Here is the table stop I made, and the clamps I made that hold that metal box/belt guard to the base. The table stop sets on a 5/16X18 bolt coming up through the casting with a jam nut on it to lock it. The Idea is If I want to tilt the table to the left, I tilt it 1st. to the right, and pull the table stop off the bolt, then tilt to the left. The places that sell delta parts want $90.00 some dollars for it!!! The clamp with the round head screws shown, is the OEM delta one, and the two I made (only one shown) sport the hex headed bolts. The places that sell delta parts want around $15.00 each for the clamps!!! |

Making it yourself and saving money! What could be better? Pictures of the press? :nrocks: Eric |

I don't know, I night make a longer table stop, looks like too much of the screw is showing.If you look at Rog's, it looks better.Maybe I'm too fussy? Wish I could get the measurements of a Delta OEM table stop, any one have one to measure? This one is 1/2" diameter,1 3/4" long, and bored to about 7/8" deep. |

Be sure to copy Delta parts and not Rockwell/Delta parts. Rockwell value engineered everything at Delta when they took it over in the late-1960's! |

Oh, really, See, I had always thought Rockwell was good, but I guess I have heard that Delta was better before. This is from about 65, so guess were talking all Delta here. Have not run the saw yet, but from what I can tell, seems to be real well made. Still looking for the correct dimensions for the table stop. Also if anyone has the stand shown below, I need the dimensions of #257;cover, #261;Stop ( looks like a metal strip,) and need to know or possibly if someone has it can take some nice big, clear photos, of how this thing is put together. There is part # 263;bumper, (there are 2 of them) and part # 262 2 latch, (there are 2 of them also). Need to know how the bumpers and the latch's, and the stop (#261) work. Also need to know the dimensions of the "Stop" too. Mine is missing, and I have no Idea how it is put together. I am sure I can come up with something on my own, but I would like it to look as close to factory as possible. |
