Two restorations I just finished up.

[Sandia]

Just finished a couple of machines, the band saw purchased on Craigs list and the drill press on a school auction. New bearings, belts some rattle can paint and good to go. Have about $800 in both machines including parts and VFD for saw. Well, maybe a little more, the saw tipped over when we were setting it in place and crushed the first VFD

Very nice looking. What vfd are you using on the saw?

I used a Teco brand VFD. Easy to program even for someone not familiar with them. RayC who posts on here a lot helped me with the first one I bought for my Harig surface grinder.

I have a Teco on my drill press and they are a nice unit. Enjoy your new equipment.

Very nice work. It happens I am restoring the same 1950's Delta bandsaw,except it is the wood model. My favorite saw. We had one for many years at work. I could resaw 12" thick Cuban mahogany with it very accurately.

If you can find one,make sure ALL the parts are there,as Delta charges a fortune for what they call their "Historic parts",even if they are pot metal. They wanted $400.00 for JUST the folded sheet metal rip fence,WITHOUT any of the numerous smaller parts that are attached to it. And,they were out of those fences anyway! I found a used one cheap somewhere. I just wanted everything original.
