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
swing. Must have not been that popular being so small?
I found Delta/Rockwell did make a newer DP 400 though.
Anyone know anything about this model?

It appears to have a morse taper in the spindle. *The parts breakdown below
shows the situation. *You will need a morse taper wedge to pop the arbor
out. *
These wedges are common as dirt.

thanks, but that link is for the "new" DP400.
looking at the patent label, they are from the 30s!

Ahh. Are there patent numbers mentioned? If so, look them up, as the patent
drawings are often quite informative.


Whats a good rust preventive to coat the unpainted surfaces?

I assume that you mean for use, versus for storage. I use ordinary way oil.
Lanolin also works well.
