When you think, "that joiner fence is still square" and don't bother to check. Always check your fences...always🤦‍♂️ #southernwoodworkers #georgiawoodworker #southernyellowpine #handmade #deltamilwaukee #delta654jointer #deltacombomachine (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9LMZ4iFb7k/?igshid=1wsp178al03za

No shelf queens, just work clothes...vintage tools doing what they do. #vintagetools #vintagemachinery #deltamilwaukee #delta1164 #delta30C #radialarmsawsdoitall #radialarmsaw #dewaltradialarmsaw #dewaltmbf #dewalttools #oldpowertools (at J&C Fine Woodwork) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8q14ZJllaw/?igshid=4yw1449fabfs

This is why I love my radial arm saw!!! Making the back relief cut for some door casing only takes minutes! No fancy jig on the table saw and no big honkin' bit for the router or shaper. Just set the saw on an appropriate miter, raise the blade to get the desired depth of cut, and run it thru. The old Delta 30-C proves itself over and over again. #southernwoodworkers #deltamilwaukee #vintagemachinery #vintagewoodworkingtools #vintageradialarmsaw #radialarmsaw #deltaradialarmsaw #radialarmsawsdoitall #makingdoorcasing #doorcasing #makingtrim (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4_ayLBl8k2/?igshid=1c1ujs1vfi5yb

Got the Delta 30-C cleaned, lubed, and adjusted. I have tentatively parked it where my Craftsman 10" was. Plans are to build a long bench here to house this saw and my Craftsman 12" RAS, but for now it works like this. Also did a little work to the bonus prize I picked up with the Delta RAS, a Craftsman King-Seeley shaper. Mostly complete and on an original stand, it's missing the belt guard and the dust collection shute. It runs great and a little more cleaning, lubing, and adjusting and it will be ready to go. I sure hope the gentleman finds the box of cutters for this machine. #vintagecraftsman #vintagemachinery #vintagewoodworkingtools #deltarockwell #deltamilwaukee #craftsmantools #woodworking #woodworker #southernwoodworkers #georgiawoodworker #kingseeley (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1klii8Fq98/?igshid=1b1ycn6cqkzd5

So, instead of removing the blades from the Delta 654 jointer I did a little tune-up on them in place. They weren't chipped or dulled enough to warrant regrinding them. So I pulled out a small piece of oil-stone and went to work on them. After honing them back to a sharp edge I did a few test cuts. The results were quite impressive! Even with the squirrelly grain at its end this piece came out glass smooth! It's hard to beat good quality steel! #deltamilwaukee #delta37-595 #delta654jointer #vintagemachinery #vintagewoodworkingtools #oldschoolpowertools #deltacombomachine #woodworking #woodworker #sharpening #oilstone #jointerknives #razorsharp (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Cyw5YF993/?igshid=k5vi9tzctw7i

Some before and after of the table cleanups on the Delta/Milwaukee 1164 Combo machine. Cleaned the tables, checked for flatness, cleaned and lubricated all ways, screws, and adjustments. Then I checked and adjusted squareness and parallel on the saw and jointer. Made one small fence adjustment and she is back in business! The cast iron on these old machines is really high quality. Once cleaned and waxed, boards just glide right over the surface! #deltamilwaukee #oldschoolpowertools #vintagetablesaw #vintagemachinery #vintagewoodworkingtools #vi tagejointer #delta1164 #woodworking (at Screven, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1AUxTaFSqm/?igshid=ohszh0dv14pz
