Unisaw on Austin Craigslist

[Pappy]

Posted yesterday, found ad this this morning. At that price it may be gone by now. (Would be if I had room for it now!) There is a # posted so it's easy to check out.

I sent you a PM

at that price I'd be worried about a cracked left rear trunnion support or something like that. Look it over closely.

Let us know how it comes out.

I bought it!!

Well Pappy, I bought the saw. I'm ecstatic!!

Here's what I got: A Delta Unisaw model 34-802, 2 phase 220V, 3hp motor. (Which is fine with me as I have 220 in the garage.) I need to check the serial with Delta, but I'm guessing 15-25 years old, but in excellant condition. The picture showed surface rust on the table, but a little emery paper and steel wool cleaned it up. Not pits on the surface. It came with a Delta mobile base, a micro adjust fence, and about 15 commercial and custom made jigs. Some of which I may need to post pictures because I haven't quite figured out what they do. Based on the story, and I confirmed it was used by an avid hobbyist here in Austin. No production use. The lift and arbor was a little tight at first as it has been setting for a couple of years, but a little Tri-Flow and WD-40 freed everything and now they work smooth as silk. Motor is very strong with no hesitation or vibration. Trunion looks new.

Best of all I gave $275 cash! I think it's a good deal. Like I said, I'm ecstatic!

Congrats.

Check that motor again. There is no 2 phase. Only 1 and 3. If it is single phase, it will run on standard household 220. If it is three phase, you'll likely have to get a phase converter.

My mistake

You're correct, single phase. Works on my standard 220 outlet. Just typing too fast.

Great Deal! Should be the last saw you'll ever need to buy.

I do believe....

"You owe me, big time!

Yes! Yes I do!

I had seen this add on CL but didn't do anything until I got your input. Thanks for all the advise.
