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?

Thanks

The really OLD Deltas had a splined adapter. They had various
adapters depending on what the custormer wanted, even a MT socket that
stuck out a mile. Usually supplied with a JT taper for chucks. A snap
ring at the bottom of the spindle retained the adapter. You remove
chucks from the JT using special forked wedges, MSC used to carry
them. Used in pairs. This was with the floor-sized machines, I've no
idea what your particular model has. Probably a JT33 machined on the
spindle stub.
