I have an old Delta 10" compound miter saw. I don't know the model number,
I looked all over and did not see any sort of a model number.

Here are some pictures of the saw:

The plastic clear shield is broken. I used it to cut a 2" PVC pipe, and I
held on to the pipe on one end, as soon as it's cut, the other end, being
that it's round, rolls a little towards the blade and BAM it hits the blade
and the rotating blade broke the pipe into pieces and one piece flew 10'
into the other end of my garage, but the clear shield is also broken as a
result as you can see from the pictures.

I then searched and found this site:

I figured I could find the part but I am not sure which model I have...it
kind of look like a "Delta 36-075 Type 1 Compound Miter Saw Parts" but it
could be Type 2 or Type 3? I am not sure. How would I determine my exact
model.

While I am at it, what is the best way to cut a 2" or 3" PVC pipe? I could
use a sawzall but a miter saw is so fast and clean, but I have trouble
keeping the other end from rolling towards the wrong spot and this could be
hazardous.

Thanks,

The best way to cut PVC pipe fast and square is with an old classic
miter box and hand saw.
