I have a delta 10" tilt top table saw from the 40s (I think). The trunnions are made of pot metal and pretty famous for breaking and are more or less unobtainium. I have a pair of good ones, but I want to nip this problem in the bud and have some made of aluminum or brass or bronze. I believe there's some svg files available for these particular parts.
I've attached pictures of the front trunnion. The teeth ride on a steel worm, so that's why I was thinking brass.
This part is basically one flat piece with a few protrusions. I was thinking that the protrusions could be made as separate flat pieces and bolt together. The back trunnion is simpler, I'll get some pictures.
If you're interested in doing this and have the technology, pm me and let me know a ball park price. Don't be shy.
