Man, that would go with my Delta-Milwaukee Drill Press that is older than I am.  Those older saws have good heavy parts.  They don't build em like that any more.

my 10" delta bandsaw is vintage 1944, as old as i am give or take a few months. my delta unisaw a 1953 version which still passes the nickel test easily, whilst the walker-turner 16" bandsaw is of indeterminate age, but roughly a contemporary of theirs, and all are gems.

Aren't old tools great?  I also have a 1940ish Craftsman metalworking lathe (6" swiing, made by Atlas Lathe Company) that still runs like a top, and seems to be able to handle any environment well.  I guess the metal has so much oil imbeded in it that it can't rust.  Or, maybe it is just better steel.
