I compiled a cross reference list of Delta tools to their Shopmaster Equivalents.

[LCHIEN]

I bought a number of power tools from Delta prior to and around when they made the change. I find it helpful to know which models are equivalent to help in finding the same design under two model numbers to help interchanging/compatible parts. Maybe this cross reference list will help someone else. I actually own 6 of these tools on this list.

Between 2000 and 2003 Delta was acquired by Pentair and rebranded their entry level Hobbyist benchtop and floor tools to Shopmaster and changed the Delta nn-nnn model numbers to AAnnn Shopmaster model numbers while keeping the design pretty much the same except for new labeling. I with the help of AI have assembled a before and after model number list. This is important because many of these tools are now discontinued and the parts list of the before and after models are identical , helping searchers find identical models from which to scavenge parts. Because these tools are essentially the same, you can often find compatible replacement parts (like brushes, belts, or blades) listed for both model numbers. For instance, parts for the 22-540 are almost always interchangeable with the Shopmaster TP300. Or scavenging a broken 22-540 could fix your TP300.

Air Cleaner	50-860 / 50-868	AP200 Standard rectangular ambient air filter; 850 CFM.

Filter Part Numbers
If you are looking for replacement filters, the following numbers are interchangeable for these units:

• Inner Filter (1-Micron): Part 50-859. This 3-pocket inner filter fits the

Shopmaster AP200, as well as the Delta 50-860, 50-868, and 50-875
professional models.

• Outer Pre-Filter (5-Micron): Part 50-858. This fits the AP200

and the same professional-grade units mentioned above.

• AP100 Specific Filter: The triangular AP100 used a different 5-micron inner filter, part 50-877.

Thanks for this. It will be helpful to some, and many if they are doing a search for cross-references .

I was partial to Porter Cable back in the 80's and 90's, especially the routers.

Here's a little AI compiled history of the Delta- Porter Cable association. For a while in 2009 Black and Decker, parent company of all, began to relabel various smaller Delta benchtop tools as Porter Cable to sell at Big Box stores. This ended in 2011 when B&D sold Delta off. I think internally B&D had a hard time reconciling all their overlapping product lines of storied brands once under one umbrella and giving each a niche.

When did Delta handheld tools begine being renamed as porter cable?
Delta handheld tools were not exactly "renamed" as Porter-Cable; rather, the two brands were consolidated into a single operating unit starting in 2000.
Wikipedia +2
Under the ownership of Pentair, the companies merged their headquarters and distribution to Jackson, Tennessee, in 2000. This led to a strategy where the brands were often marketed together as "Delta/Porter-Cable". Following the acquisition of both brands by Black & Decker in October 2004, the separation between their product categories became more distinct:

• Handheld/Portable Tools: Mostly moved under the Porter-Cable name. This brand was positioned as a "mid-tier" or "value-pro" line, sitting between the consumer-focused Black & Decker and the professional-grade DeWalt.
• Stationary/Shop Tools: Remained under the Delta name.
  Wikipedia +3

Key Rebranding Moments

• 2000–2004 (The Pentair Era): The brands functioned as "sister companies" with shared service centers and combined catalogs, though they kept their individual logos.
• 2005–2009 (The Black & Decker Era): Delta's smaller portable power tools were largely phased out in favor of Porter-Cable counterparts to avoid internal competition with DeWalt.
• 2009 (The "Identity Crisis"): Around this time, some traditional Delta stationary tools (like small band saws, jointers, and planers) actually began appearing with Porter-Cable branding for sale at big-box retailers like Lowe's.
• 2011 (The Brand Split): Stanley Black & Decker sold the Delta brand to Chang Type Industrial (TOTY) while retaining Porter-Cable. This completely separated the two companies again.

Pro Tip: If you have a handheld tool with a Delta logo from the late 90s or early 2000s, you can often find the identical replacement part by looking up the equivalent Porter-Cable model number from that same era.
