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. |
