I just bought a used unisaw more than I wanted to spend but I don't want to
spend a bunch of time putting a saw together (adding a large fence) here is
a link
http://www.motherearthrecycling.net/unisaw/unisaw.htm

It run very nice FAR smoother than my contractors saw. It came with all the
items in the picture plus a few good blades and a sled. The price was $925,
more than I was hoping but I want to start making the cabinets not looking
for a saw.

Well worth what you paid. Have you priced a new one? I'd sure snatch it up
at that price.

Ah, yes. The white years.

Blades and sled--maybe $50-100; 34-183 tenoning jig--$50-75; outfeed
table--$50-75. So subtract anywhere from $150 to 250 from 925 and it's
looking like a smoking deal.

You suck.

When shopping for used equipment people often forget the time investment in
seeking out the "best deal"... like driving to a gas station across the city
to save $1.00 on a fill up. It looks to be in good shape... damn near new!
You paid a fraction of new price and saved all the set-up time... looks a
great deal to me! Enjoy.

Congratulations, looks like a great saw.
Really clean - nice extension and outfeed tables.
I sure wish I could have found a nice used one around here, but after
two years of looking, I gave up. I wanted a left tilt.

Oh, and you suck!

What are the "white years" any idea the age of the saw?

The serial number will tell you - year, and week of manufacture.
There may be a day in there, but not sure.

Wayne,
Very sweet deal.

Enjoy it.

As I recall, Delta/Rockwell saws were nearly the same gray from the
'30s up until the '90s. As an aside, Jet tools, at least when I first
saw them were a medium blue until about 1992 or thereabouts. They
(Jet) decided to revamp their colors, and changed over to the white
that they still are today.

Delta, not to be outdone, introduced a color change of their own. Now
I don't remember which came first, but they had a "Platinum Edition"
series that were, as you might expect, a platinum color not all that
far removed from their original gray. Somewhere in that time period,
they did a white version. I don't recall whether they did their whole
tool line or just the Unisaws, but they did.

Time frame? I'd say mid to late '90s. I would be very surprised to
learn that they were out more than a year. In any event, a call to
Delta will likely yield an answer to that, especially if you give them
the serial number as Greg suggested.

The winning #s are "98j56910 model 36-816" Maybe 1998? Sure looks nice. I
am more the metal working guy as you can see buy my metal working machines

http://www.motherearthrecycling.net/shop/shop.htm

but I am VERY excited about using this machine. My dad has made MANY
attachments for the Unisaw, all top quality. He wrote books for Fine
Woodworking years ago they never did go foward with his jigs, would have
been the best book he wrote if they did. Here are the books he wrote
http://www.woodturns.com/books/searc..._makowicki.htm

http://www.bookkoob.co.uk/book/1561583812.htm

He is now into his 70s and taking on another book is to much but he has made
MANY jigs for all kinds of wood working, but I took the metal path.

Serial plate will tell you. First number is year, then a letter for
the month. A=Jan, B=Feb, etc.,

The rest of the number can get you all the way to the hour, however,
have to get into Delta's database to get that.

Sometime in the '90's, after the New Yankee Limited Edition and before
the Platinum Edition I think.

He got a good deal.

Delta did it first on woodworking machinery with the Great White
Limited edition. The very next year, Jet changed to the white color.
They said it was their standard color on metalworking machinery and
they were just claiming their trademark. That may very well be true,
I never bothered to check it out. Delta only intended for it to be a
special anyway.

Whaddaya mean "no bargain"?? ... you made a helluva buy on a fine, USA made
saw. I would have snapped it up in a heartbeat, and I already own one.

Take care of it and it will be worth at least what you paid in ten years, if
not more, because there aren't any more like it being made.

Congratulations!

Tell you what...you paid too much. I feel bad for you. To alleviate your pain, I
will add $100 to the price you paid and buy it from you.
It's the kinda guy I am.

It edges on 'gloat' territory. Nice tool. Enjoy it in good health.

From looking at you pic it isn't that old. With tables and all looks like
you made a good buy.

Waytago!
