Raleigh CL - Free Rockwell Delta RAS motor needs rewinding

[woodworker2000]

Found this on CL (not mine) and thought someone might be interested. Saw is located in Morrisville (near RDU for those not familiar with Raleigh). There are pics in the CL ad:

I have an industrial Rockwell/Delta radial arm saw. I used it for years in my business. It has a heavy duty frame and stand and 8 foot table for cross cutting or ripping. The only problem is the motor finally died. I got quotations for $150-200 to rewind the motor locally. With a new rewound motor, this saw will be a real workhorse.

I don't need it anymore, so will give it to anyone who wants it. Located near RDU airport.

thats a great opportunity for someone to get a solid machine for the price of rewinding the motor. I know there is a stigma about radials but I think they have a place in the shop, I just didnt have room for the one I had and I know it went to a good person. Im sure someone will jump on this quick, act fast people.

Rockwell/Delta is really solid stuff. My guess would be that this is more than worth the cost of a repair.

I agree with Michael, there is a place for a RAS is a serious woodworking shop... hey, even Norm has one.

I bet this isn't available for long.

Eagerly awaiting a call back in the morning. If it is a 10", there is a secret to some of Delta's motors. They are the same as Craftsmans, made by Emerson. Ain't that a riot!

sweet, I hope you get it friend. If you have the room it will be a great addition to your shop.

I didn't get the saw, but the lister is a true SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN. He was nice enough to send Email to each one who inquired about saw and then another when saw was gone. This doesn't happen much anymore. Again, he is a southern gentleman!

He could have been a nice Yankee, too. When I have posted things on CL, I responded kindly to every email I received, even the ones that were just plain goofy.

:eusa_clapYour actions would also qualify you to be called a Southern Gentleman
