Amazing SCORE at a yard sale!
« on: June 04, 2014, 10:46:03 pm »
Well the wife and I went out of town last weekend to visit the family. Drove about 2.5 hours south witch took us to Collinsvill Oklahoma. We got there early and went to a few yard sales with my cousin's. We stopped at one and he had a whole shop full of vintage tools for sale. I picked up these two for less than 75 for the both.  A 1957 Delta Rockwell 28-290 14" band saw.  And a 12" disc and 4"belt sander with a dewalt badge on it but it is made by delta in 1961 called a finisher. Both tools work great. The band saw needs some new tires and a blade and both need a little cleaning up. I'm really excited to get some staves through them. Patrick.

Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Thanks everyone! I couldn't wait to share these with you all!

Osage, I will defiantly post some pics of them after I get them cleaned up. Maybe even a video if I can.

Dang! I thought I was lucky finding that stuff. That saw is a real work horse, good find.

Thanks everyone! With a little more research I found that the sander is actually made by atlas and that all of the parts are there. With the exception of one accessory. The belt sanding linear guide.
