Delta 14" BAND SAW ANGLE GAUGE
Full Description
This is an angle gauge plate to fit the Delta vintage 14’ band saw.
The original angle gage or tilt indicator plate that is used to set the worktable position was made from thin aluminum and was often dented, dinged, scratched, damaged, painted over, or lost. Our tilt indicator plates are newly manufactured and better than the originals. These nominal 5/8" x 4" plates are made of stainless steel and have been carefully and painstakingly recreated from the dimensions of the original plates and from the original artwork. The indicator blanks were laser cut from .030" thick 304 stainless steel before being carefully deburred and brush finished, prior to application of a high quality bright red vinyl decal. The holes in the angle gage plates are an exact to match the original plates and use the original holes to mount.
When restoring or refurbishing a 14” band saw, getting the old angle gage plate off is always difficult because of the drive rivets Delta used to install it. Removing the rivets, more often than not, damaged the gage plate to some extent. That problem has now gone away, now that a replacement gauge is available.
We use a small chisel to loosen each rivet by tapping at the base of each on all four sides, with less concern about plate damage. Once loose, the rivets can be removed.
Installation of a new plate after the machine is painted and complete can be done with OEM type rivets or with screws like we use in our restoration work. The original rivets holes can be drilled out with a #38 drill bit and tapped for 5-40 pan head screws. We find that screwing the new plate back in place with stainless steel makes more sense than using the once installed non-removal rivets.

Reviews From the Shop Floor
I'm restoring an old Delta drill press and the original work light was missing the actual socket, switch, and cord. What I purchased is a great direct replacement and it seems quite high quality. I would recommend this seller to procure parts to restore your old machines. Worth the money. Good job!
