I have an old Delta and bought a several more for spares, not that I needed to, so I sold them on. Keep an eye on ebay or other second hand sites for a cheap machine, I would consider around £75 reasonable for a non runner but with the quickset clamps in good condition.

It's a long time since I've come across that one, I first knew of it over 30 years ago.

From what I've seen, it just confirms my thoughts that Alex is a bodge artist.

It's known as the Oxford comma.

If you don't mind second hand, then look for a Delta with the Quickset blade clamps.

I would like all three please, if you could let me know the postage and your payment details.

There was a problem a while ago, it being a bad batch, mainly across the big pond with the quality of the Dutchman blades just as you're describing, I think that they were returning them for blades from a newer batch.

Yes, you can put a chuck on it, 3/4 x 16 in, is the thread size.

Hi Frank, long time no hear, we're fine over here, Over run this fortnight with grandkids but loving it. Slowed right down on the scrollsaw and lathe, now taken up carving.

I would have thought that sanding the face of all your wood before cutting must be better. That's if I understand your problem correctly.

Slacken the clamps, put the blade in then push it down or up until it stops then tighten the clamp up. Then push the lever back, if the doesn't apply enough tension then the bolt on top of the arm needs screwing in. This is a lot harder to put in words than show you, if you are anywhere near...

The play in clamps goes away when you tension the blade. The lever at the side of the top arm needs to come forward when fitting a blade, you then push the lever back to where it is in the photo and this tensions the blade and stiffens up the clamps. If doing this doesn't tighten up the blade...

If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
