Since I already had a mighty nice jointer and didn't fell like restoring one fo those, I inquired as to the price of just the Uni. Fast forward two years or so to my new home in Virginia, and a posting on the DC Craigslist for a "'s's Delta Unisaw and Jointer". Still others just appreciate the history behind an old tool, or enjoy fixing up old things. Others want a table saw that is totally American made today's Unisaws have a lot of foreign-sourced parts, although they are still supposedly "assembled" here. Some people think that older Unisaws- built with a lot more cast iron and such- are more solid than the Unisaws built today. The reasons for refurbishing are as varied as the person doing the refurbishing. Complete Delta Unisaw Rebuild - Part 8 - Motor Internals Anyway, since I bought my new Uni inI have become aware of a number of folks who have refurbished older Unisaws. While Unisaws certainly aren't cheap, I think most woodworkers like them because they set a certain standard, and not because they are the most expensive saws out there which they are not. I suppose that you might compare it to a Rolex, or a Corvette, or some other iconic brand that people aspire to, although those analogies are not quite right- those products are high-end luxury items. Even then, I had long dreamed about owning a Unisaw. I was fortunate enough to have been able to purchase a brand new 3hp right-tilt Unisaw for myself back in still fairly early in my woodowrking career. Even today, Delta still produces the Unisaw, in substantially the same form as it built them in While certain accessories have changed and certain details have evolved, the size, shape, operation, and basic "guts" of the saw are very similar to that first saw. Since its introduction inthe Delta Unisaw has been the standard in cabinet-style tablesaws.
