First ensure it is a single phase 60hz motor. Replacing to a single phase will about double the cost. Download game psx iso zoids. Don't assume the table is still flat. Check it with a trusted straight edge. Many cast tops are not flat. Turn the motor on. ![]() Sep 16, 2011 Older Rockwell Delta Table Saw « back to Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories forum. But that is a Unisaw motor. And as far as I know there is only one type of saw that fits a unisaw motor and that is a unisaw. If you locate the serial number you will be able to tell how old it is with the use of this website. I have a Delta Unisaw that is about 10 years old. I keep it in my shop at my cabin which is about 300 miles from my home. I need the model number and serial number from it. ![]() It should spool up fast and run at a constant speed. Leave it running for a while. Fully raise and full lower the blade in varying degrees of tilt. Also tilt zero to 45 stops and back again few times. It should be smooth with no clunking. Thanks Brendon! I had no idea about the 60hz motor issue. Your input is SUPER helpful. Thanks for taking the time to help a rookie. Belts are cheap to replace. I think a matched set of three from plaza machinery is $11? I'd ask the owner if he ever replaced the arbor and motor bearing. I think you can usually expect 15-20 years of life out of a quality bearing, which means the 1995 saw is either coming due, or he did it already and you are good for another decade plus. It's pretty easy to swap bearings, but you made it seem like you wanted nothing to do with machine work. Personally, I would factor in replacing the belts and bearings with the purchase price. Worn belts will lead to vibration, and shot bearings can ruin an arbor shaft. These are easier to do when you have the saw apart and moving it compared to when you have it in place with dust collection, out feed table etc. Table saw's often get entrenched, so I would suggest doing everything the right way before moving it to its final home. We are talking about $40-50 in parts for what I just prescribed. Holy mackerel guys. Thank you SO much Pwk5017, wdwerker and Brendon_t. This is exactly what I was hoping a forum would be able to provide. Support and mentorship for a guy in the boonies just getting back to handwork after a REALLY long time off (stopped building around 99 and just getting back in, although without it being my profession) These are super helpful, and although I'm not skilled with motors yet, I'll be thrilled to learn and will take your advice with replacing the belts and bearing. If I see signs of wear and if the bearing hasn't been replaced. My guess is is hasn't. The saw was donated to a vocational school in Maine from a fabrication shop. The school only uses sawstop technology for the safety factor, and hence I'm getting the deal of the century from craigslist. Expect a post on Tuesday night. I'll give you guys the low down on the saw, and hopefully a pic from my slowly building home shop. Again, thanks a ton. I am no mechanic. Brendon kind of is, i think. Well, the guy has snap-on tools, and I have a 1950s set of craftsman wrenches from my grandpap's estate. Taking the unisaw apart is easy peasy. There is a video that delta produced with some old guy yanking the saw apart and replacing the arbor bearing. If it were me, i would take $500 to that school and tell them it's an industrial setting saw and they should be glad to have $500 to get it off their hands. I would then take it home, disassemble the thing following delta's youtube video. Take the arbor to a machine shop/mechanic to pull the bearing and put on a new one. Same for the motor bearing.
