Its anywhere from 12 to 15 years old. The tubular stand is not original to that saw. When DeWalt sent the manufacturing of the saw to Taiwan, they changed to the tubular stand. Customers hated that stand, so they switched back to the current stand..

Great work Josh! That saw looks so shiny. It should work very nicely for you! Make sure you wax that table if you haven't already.

Been meaning to make one of those for a while. My wife works for a Doctor.

That's adorable Steve! Grampa is a great designer!

My feeling is track from an aluminum table also. Waxing the table should help.

Those are gorgeous Marg, very nice work!

I love the look of a wooden backer. Very well done!

In your O P you asked "what would you do?". Well, that's what I would do!

It looks like the air hose is not adjustable. That means it will be blowing wood dust at you. Not good!

A type I is at least 12 to 15 years old!

Just to clarify, the old 16" Delta saws have nothing to do with the 20" saws other than the name. They are made and designed by different company's. So comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges.

Hey Joshua, sorry to come on so late, just got home from a long day working. Anyway, I use this method on every thing I scroll. First I sand the wood blank to finish grit, usually 220 grit. Then when I'm done cutting, I touch up with the 220 grit sandpaper. Like you I use a 50/50 mixture of boild linseed oil and mineral spirits. Here in So. Ca., the humidity is moderate so it usually take 24 hours to dry. Then I apply the lacquer. Like everyone has said, spray a light even coat. With the Deft lacquer it drys very fast. I can usually apply three coats in about an hour. I don't like a shiny finish, so I use semi gloss or satin. Now, here's my secret, well it's not so secret as a lot of folks do this, I use a folded piece of brown paper bag to sand off those little nubs that you see. It's like 2000 grit sand paper, but does not leave any sand dust. If there are any nubs between coats, sand them with the brown paper. I use a small soft brush to brush off the project between coats or you can use compressed air. I do a final sanding with the brown paper. This evens out the final coat and buffs out any rough areas. When I go grocery shoping, I always ask for paper bags!

I think I would PM the person in question and discuss it with him.

Nice work Gordie, excellent pattern too!

As usual DW, beautiful work!

Great work Bob!

Hey DW, that should make a great looking bowl. Looking forward to seeing that one!

Hey Bob, welcome from another Southern Californian. In fact I lived in Sun City for a while. Welcome to the Village!

Paul, thats why I make my own frames. I don't have to size the project to the frame, I size the frame to the project.

That's "Cooper Black".

Thanks Paul. He will be missed! I know he doesn't hang here so I made a reply at the other forum.

Where did you hear that Paul?

Hey Kevin, I've been using ms for years. Why would you mix lacquer thinner with it?

Yup, mineral spirits. Use a clean soft cloth wetted with mineral spirits and wipe it down, or put some in a spray bottle and spritz the project and wipe it down. I use this method to remove the pattern.
