Here's pics of my 1951 Delta Milwaukee band saw. Got it free along with a 6" Delta jointer and a tilting table table saw. Spent 6 days overhauling it.

I added this 1959 DeWalt 1030 RAS to the shop a few weeks ago (in the shop you can see the guys prepping to load a 1968 925 DLX into my trailer; it's getting sold off to pay for the 1030).
And this 1958 Powermatic Model 100 two weeks ago:
The RAS will get a basic "going-over" to put it into action. The yoke takes some pushing to move; I think it's simply out of adjustment. The planer will get basic maintenance--new belts and bearings and sharpened blades.
Semper fi,
Brad

I saw one of those last week. The new owner paid $150 for it and had to drive quite a distance to pick it up. Yours looks way nicer

This 1953 Shopsmith 10ER followed me home recently. There is a chip in the paint on the belt guard but when I get the camera close enough to see it, the camera won't focus. No corrosion anywhere. All it needed to make chips was a new belt.
We do segmented turning, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

Here's one of mine. It's a Unisaw (Model No. 34-801) I got back in 2000.
The place where I was working at the time had a shipping department and they had this abused Unisaw sitting back there. They beat the living HELL out of it and never performed a spot of maintenance. It was sad.
Not long after I started working there the motor started acting up. That and a long list of other problems (plus some prompting my yours truly
) made them look into buying a new Unisaw. So the old one was about to be scrapped.
I ended up buying it for $100.
I dropped a new 3HP motor into it, new magnetic switch, V-belts, (fabricated) motor cover, new extension table, and a Mobile base. Later I added a Bies Splitter and a T-Track Fence from PeachTree.
That bad boy has served me well for the past 14 years.

See ya around,

I got that beat--I got mine, new, for free. But had to drive 2 hours to get it. Well worth it.
