A couple years back, rescued a Delta Homecraft DP from dumpsters. It was unassembled, and missing motor and chuck. This week I needed to drill some holes in the center of a 9 1/4" disk, which is hard to do on a drill press with a four inch throw. Went and got DP from box I brought it home in. Found a 1/3HP motor in correct frame size to fit, and robbed a chuck off another bench top DP. Then I got to thinking "How old is this DP. Did some research, and Delta used the tag that is on DP from 1947 ( the year I was born,) to 1954. This means DP is between sixty six and seventy three years old. Because I was born in November, my new to me DP could be older than I am.
