I cant seem to find anything on DP 400. By what OWWM.com has, its from
the 40's. It looks just like DP220's only smaller. About 5 1/2 in

I found Delta/Rockwell did make a newer DP 400 though.
Anyone know anything about this model?

thanks, but that link is for the "new" DP400.
looking at the patent label, they are from the 30s!
Whats a good rust preventive to coat the unpainted surfaces?
