Look what showed up in my driveway

[JimDawson]

My youngest son picked up some stuff at an estate sale, and wound up with an extra one of these. This showed up at about 9:30 tonight. He kept the Delta belt/disk sander and the Delta drill press, all about the same vintage as this one. So I'm the proud owner of a Delta 6x? belt sander. It runs and sounds pretty good. It looks to be complete and original, but no table

Anybody have an idea of the year of this one?

Nice! I've got a stand just like that one. Using it for my band saw...

Don't know what year it is, but shure wish someone would drop one off in my driveway.

It looks like a 6x48. Harbor freight sells belts for that size. It seems to be very well made and sturdy. Nice find!

Yes, its a 6x48. Table assembles show up on Ebay pretty regular for less than $100.

So that's where it went. Please put it back on the trailer and send it to the right address ==== Mine. :lmao:

I've got a short bed Delta Milwaukee jointer.
She runs smooth!

That’s a nice son you have! And it should work just fine on both wood and metal projects. And yes, it’s a 6” X 48”.

Could be from the 60's.

If it has a serial number tag on it, I have a list of Rockwell/Delta serial numbers by year and can look it up for you.
