    Antique Sale

    I bought a new BT3100 Sunday and have an antique Delta saw for sale. As best I can figure I bought it in 1970 which makes it 36 years old! Since 36 year old cars are called classics and bring BIG money I am offering up the Delta for only $1000! BTW.. I am keeping the channel locks to lock the tilt and the open end wrench to lock the slightly crooked rip fence.
    Cut twice.... measure??

    Why doesn't the word 'planing' show up in my computer spell check?

        Good luck with your sale. The last thing I bought that was made in 1970 was a SS396 4 speed El Camino. Oh, and welcome!

            I'll bet you could get him down to about $800 or so......

            No no, I'm not making an offer!

              Yikes, I have a 50 year old Craftmaster table saw with a 1/2 hp Delta induction/repulsion motor (same age) and all in mint shape, I mean MINT. I thought of letting it go for a couple of hundred bucks....if I were lucky. Maybe I should hang on to it now that I've read this thread lol. Am still considering purchasing a BT3100 or something more modern than my old reliable 50 year old outfit.

                    I have a really old table, probably an antique. I think it was made by the Card Company in England. I'm not sure. People just call it a "Folding Card Table". It looks like an antique. I also have an old saw. I think it is called aptitude, talent, or skill or something. Anyhow, I think I have some bolts to make a table saw for someone. I don't have a fence for it, but if you need one, I can get one. My neighbors go to bed early and take the dogs inside. I think a few minutes with some wire cutters and I can have a fence for it (I can only get black vinyl covered chain-link, I hope that is OK.) I also have a firewall router. I don't know if it is 1/4" or 1/2". Actually the holes look kind of rectangular, but I'm not all that good with the woodworking stuff. Oh, it has an antenna too. Let me know if you want either of these, I'll make you a deal.
