All Replies on How old is this Unisaw?

You can usually google and get a hit on the model numbers, but this one brings up zilch.

I tried that also wit the same result.

That one is fairly new. As for the price, that is your call. Not sure how bad you want it or if you see many. I have seen old ones from 100$ to 1500$. Its like buying used cars. One may be worth more to you then me. Good luck in whatever you do. bob

The catalog number will tell you a lot more.
Can you get more pics?

I do not have it

Go see it with $900 cash in one pocket and a few hundred more in the other…. and be prepared to take it home right then and there.

If you like it, make him an offer.

As for age….. I thought the old ones were darker gray. This one looks to be 10 years of less.

-- Matt, Pine is fine, but Oak's no joke!

Three of the driving factors to the value of a unisaw.
1) Condition of course
2) Which fence? 52” Biesemeyer or uni-fence can add as much as $500 or more depending on condition
3) Motor size, bigger is better, 3 to 5 HP single phase can add another $500 in value.

If you can get a clearer pic of the catalog number, you will be able to bring the manual up on Delta’s web site.
This appears to be in the 4- 10 yr old range. I don’t remember the year but delta changed from model # to catalog # in the last 10 yrs or so.
The price seems a little below average for this time frame if it has a 3-5 hp motor. About average for the 1.5 – 2 hp motor.

The asking price is $1275.00
The seller told that the sales his saw because someone made him an offer he could not refuse on a new Jet but that now he regrets that he bought the Jet as he prefers the Delta.

I had to go out to the shop to verify my thinking on the catalog number.

the new Unisaw catalog # looks like this.

36-L336
36-L352
36-L552

36 is the basic saw frame model #
L or R is for left or right tilt with right tilt getting slowly phased out now.
3 or 5 is HP (The newer Unisaws only have these two motors now, I don’t remember when delta dropped the 1.5 and 2 HP).
36 or 52 is the fence size, the biggest majority of the over the last 15 yrs have been the Biesemeyer but the Unifence was still available up until just a couple of years ago.

-- If the old masters had power tools, they would have used them. So get off your damn High Horse.

That is a very fair deal, I believe the x models came with 2 hp as the smallest motor (not sure on this). I know it’s not the 5 HP because of the 11 amps listed on the label ( 5HP is 18 amps @220v).
I would still try to get him down some but 1200 is fair.

I think the X tool line came out about 5 to 10 years ago.

That model would have a standard splitter, not a riving knife. Left tilt, Biese fence. Looks nice. $1275 isn’t a steal, but it’s not a ripoff either. $1000 would be a nice deal IMO.

I have this same saw paid a grand used but never used….it a great saw the fence is what set this one apart from the other style fence. 36-L336

I also got a R4511 for $299.00 this is the saw I am replacing.

” As always I recommend that you look at the Central Machinery 10” Industrial Cabinet Saw. For just around $500.00 after discount, this is a lot of saw for your money.”

The only problem with that is the HF has not been selling this saw for at least 3years.

-- Bert

I miss your point
This I wrote 3 years ago.
Things have changed. I have outgrown the R4511 and and HF no longer sale the cabinet saw.
If still sold the cabinet saw I would have look at it hard as it was made by Harvey , the same company which makes grizzly and jet saws, or at least some of them

-- Bert

Still I do not change word about what I then wrote about the R4511.
This an excellent saw, especially for the price.
I just need more of a saw today.
Especially want be able to mount Grizzly a cast iron router table.
I made my own router table on the R4511 with a Bosh router table and it jut does not work for me.

Call Delta Customer Service 1 800 223 7278 Give the serial number.

They told me that my bandsaw was made in Sept. 1947. They didn’t have model numbers back then, you might need that too.

Before buying any used table/cabinet saw I’d check the alignment of blade to miter gauge slot. Nothing worse than realigning a tabletop to blade. One never knows what has happened to a used saw in its lifetime and reliable info as to why the seller is selling a saw as new as the one in question could offer a hint. Good luck…I purchased my Delta Unisaw 32years ago and I wouldn’t have anything else. It’s a dream machine. I have also heard that Delta has been bought back and is now back in private hands with all manufacturing being done here in the good old USA.
