I have a tilting table Delta which I'm guessing is at least 60 years old. I can't find any model or s/n on it- just a couple of casting numbers (body= TCS 203 & top= TCS 201). I've waded through the archives here (999 hits for "table saw") without finding anything pertinent. Anyone know how to get more info on this saw, e.g. Mfg. date, today's value etc. Thanks for any help.

I have two Delta saws like you have. They are great very stable and accurate good fence too. have one on wheels for outside work. once they are setup they hold adjustment. Sold my Craftsman never looked back. Delta.com will get you parts break down and old manual.

Do not forget that the first good DELTA saws were WALKER TURNER made in New Jersey.W/T was merged up into delta.Todays best Deltas still look a lot like the old WALKER TURNERS.Put Walker TURNER in to your search engine and your will come up with a lot of info. CENTAUR

So the saw body arbor under table on yours doesn't tilt? We have one that I forget now if it was made in late 40s or early 50s I fixed up in late 70s. The local Rockwell Delta dealer back then had nothing on it and send me direct to the factory that sent me manuals for it and were able to ID the date built by serial number on it. Back then I bought a new fence and tilt guage and few other parts for it reasonably less than a new saw and we still use it today. Might google search or check with local Rockwell Delta dealer and deal direct with them on it too.

Hi Glen,

Thanks for the suggestion and link.
If the saw base (heavy cast body) rests atop a bench for example, the table tilts, not the arbor. And the table raises and lowers, not the saw base. However, if the saw is supported only by its table, then the base of the saw would adjust accordingly, tilt or height. I had never seen this design before this old Delta. My 50+ year old 10" Craftsman has a tilting arbor; this Delta is a totally different animal. The base/body has 4 holes in the bottom that I presume must be to mount a motor bracket. Otherwise, it just doesn't seem practical to mount the saw itself from those holes since the table position would keep changing with every "blade" adjustment. It accepts 8" blades and weighs around 100#. It's in great shape- I just can't find any "real" numbers on it.

Thanks,

Roger

We got an old one of those too. I don't know alot about it other than I didn't like the table tilting and trying to cut that angle and hold onto and feed the wood in.

I did see one the Amish had and they hooked a large Honda engine on it. Since these are belt drive they adapt easy. Could be the largest market for them ?

Hi Mike,

Seems the way to overcome the tilting issue you mention is to mount the saw into a table with the body of the saw suspended below. When you turn the crank handle, the body tilts. Same with the height adjustment.
I think most older saws were belt driven as are some of the current machines.

Thanks,

Roger

The deal about these saws is that they do that. That is also because they were engineered to give as great depth to cut as possible and use biga$$ motors behind them to power the cut. The massive casting are something of note as are the bearings for there were every stress factor encountered. A direct drive was a huge machine. Motor technology has evolved to where "getit done" does mean homes are built with cheap crap while we may reinvestigate the prior engineering. The length of the belt and the way a motor is mounted allows the flexibilty. In later and larger designs part of the trunions guide the motor drive to an angle. One thing is sure. There will never be another Walker-Turner or a Delta.

Hi vitsarus,

Thanks for your thoughts.
I agree, they sure don't make things like they used to...
