Delta Jointer Parts for Sale on Ebay
Purchased 11/2010 from a local school district. This machine had been in storage for several years. Machine was completely disassembled, cleaned, sanded and repainted, bearings both for the motor and jointer head replaced, along with the belt, power cord and blades. This is a 4 bladed machine with a 1HP motor. Cast iron base has the raised ribs polished along with other machined surfaces.

Vintage Tools Restoring
by: Ken Wilhelm
Todd:
My father was in the cabinet (commercial) business all his life. I have his tools.
They are:
1.) Walker-Turner 6 Inch Jointer, Plainfield, NJ
P-910
Works fine. 1/2 horse motor. I want to sell to someone who will appreciate an early 40’s power tool used in professional factory. Also…
2.) Delta Milwaukee Homecraft Shaper-Router,
serial # AY 1269. motor has reversing switch, 1/2 horse. I have all the knives ans set-up for countless work. works fine. same effort as above. I want a buyer with appreciation for vintage power tools. Usede in factory.
3.) Craftsman 62″ band saw, also used in factory. Works fine, custom stand, old too.
Any suggestions as to value and who may have interest? I love your Grand kids comment.
Thanks,

A great rig, and an amazing job bringing it back to life.
I’ll share this picture with my kids so they understand when their father goes a little nuts for a big, heavy pile of rusting metal at auction. Hopefully I’ll hear cheers of “Go, Daddy go!”.

The Grand Review
Ardmore, PA
I’m a former woodshop teacher, cabinet and furniture maker, and avid tool collector. I’ve been collecting antique woodworking tools and restoring old Craftsman and Delta machines for almost forty years. I love the quality of the old Delta, Craftsman, Walker Turner, and other woodworking machinery from the 1940s through the ’70s. They just don’t make tools like that anymore and no one is going to be restoring woodworking tools purchased at big box stores fifty years from now. You can see my OldWoodworkingTools.com website about hand tools.
Hi guys and girls
I just bought a Woodtek 6″ jointer. I’m new at this so I need help finding user manual. all marking are worn off. Leads that I could run down would be much appreciated.
