FOUND Delta Tilt Top

[Sourwould]

Probably a long shot here, but I'm maybe looking to find an old Delta tilt top table saw. Would like to find a ten inch, but I doubt there's really a ton of these around.

I thought there might be an off chance that someone has one in a basement or shed or something. I don't think there's a ton of people that still want to use these. Haha.

I'm located in Durham.

Those things look dangerous to operate cool looking and lots of metal in them though

Probably. I don't do a lot of bevel ripping. It's more about the footprint of the saw.

Have you tried the classifieds on OWWM? The tilt tops have a following. I found a few parts there for my fathers tilt top that he still uses.

I have. I figured I'd post here since this is a regional forum.

How about a wanted ad? Thinking someone has one squirreled away that they may be willing to sell.

There was a 10” listed on Craigslist and OWWM a few months ago in Columbia SC that I seem to remember was listed for a few weeks. There was another guy in Charleston that was restoring old machines that used to list things.

I think the unpopularity factor of the saw is in your favor!

Thanks for the tip.

I found the columbia saw on owwm. I thought I wanted an unrestored saw to save some bucks, but man that's a nice saw for 250. It's sold.

I'll check out charleston. Might be a bit out of my radius. My truck is more of an "in-towner."

I have exactly what you’re looking for fully restored with new bearings and I’ll sell at a very reasonable price. It’s a 10 inch Delta 1160. Not sure what next steps to communicate are... does the forum have a private messaging feature?

Yes it does. If you hover your cursor over the user name a pop-up window should include a button on th e bottom edge that says "Start Conversation". Click that and away you go to message that particular user. In this case you want Sourwould 'Taylor' as the interested party.
