1947 Delta Unisaw Restoration 1947 Delta Unisaw Restoration Project Before.and After. Since its introduction in 1939, the Delta Unisaw has been the standard in cabinet-style tablesaws. Even today, Delta still produces the Unisaw, in substantially the same form as it built them in 1939. While certain accessories have changed and certain details have evolved, the size, shape, operation, and basic 'guts' of the saw are very similar to that first 1939 saw. Although there are a number of other quality cabinet saws on the market today- some of them more expensive, or perhaps more 'deluxe' than the Unisaw, most woodworkers dream about owning/aspire to own/think it would be really cool to own a Uni. I was fortunate enough to have been able to purchase a brand new 3hp right-tilt Unisaw for myself back in 2005- still fairly early in my woodowrking career. Even then, I had long dreamed about owning a Unisaw.

I suppose that you might compare it to a Rolex, or a Corvette, or some other iconic brand that people aspire to, although those analogies are not quite right- those products are high-end luxury items. While Unisaws certainly aren't cheap, I think most woodworkers like them because they set a certain standard, and not because they are the most expensive saws out there (which they are not). Anyway, since I bought my new Uni in 2005, I have become aware of a number of folks who have refurbished older Unisaws. The reasons for refurbishing are as varied as the person doing the refurbishing. Some people think that older Unisaws- built with a lot more cast iron and such- are more solid than the Unisaws built today. Others want a table saw that is totally American made (today's Unisaws have a lot of foreign-sourced parts, although they are still supposedly 'assembled' here). Still others just appreciate the history behind an old tool, or enjoy fixing up old things.

When I saw the 1940's-era Unisaw that my friend Dave Richardson ('Just_George' of the and ) had restored, I told myself that if an opprtunity to fix an old one up came along, I would take it. Fast forward two years or so to my new home in Virginia, and a posting on the DC Craigslist for a '1930's-1940's Delta Unisaw and Jointer'. He was asking $1500. Nf ep album download.

Since I already had a mighty nice jointer and didn't fell like restoring one fo those, I inquired as to the price of just the Uni. He said $900. I politely told him that he was insane.

He politely ignored me. After a couple of weeks went by, and his Mrs. Got on his case about freeing up space in the garage and getting some spare cash, he was a bit more receptive to my next offer.

To make a long story short, $400 bought me this beautiful 1947 Unisaw, with the original repulsion-induction motor still in operating condition: Now, you're probably thinking, 'Wait a minute- I thought that you said 'beautiful' Unisaw?' Well, having seen a couple of nice restorations, I knew what was hiding underneath those years of abuse, neglect, and rust. They key is getting everything disassembled, stripped down, cleaned up, repainted, repaired/replaced as necessary, and reassembled. With the help of a number of useful internet sources (including the aforementioned Dave Richardson and a whole group of great, great people on and ) and some good old-fashioned trial and error, I was able to get the job done. Incidentally, although you can't see the serial number in the last picture, that number (52-4466) was how I was able to date the saw to 1947, thanks to the at. The following pictures represent more or less of a chronological overview of the process I went through (although to be honest, some of the pictures were taken simply as a reminder for myself on how things went together, so that if I screwed up later, I would have some sort of reference as to how things were supposed to look).
