JOINTER MODEL # 37-220
Original Delta adjusting shaft part number #DJ-18
IT FITS THE VINTAGE DELTA DELUXE 6" JOINTER AND THIS SHAFT IS SOLD WITH THE ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS TO COMPLETE ITS INSTALLATION IN THE JOINTER.
THIS KIT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL ITEMS, ALONG WITH THE ADJUSTING SHAFT:
ONE PAIR OF THE 1/4" DIAMETER BRASS LOCKING BULLETS
TWO STAINLESS STEEL 3/8 ID BACK-UP WASHERS
TWO OIL FILLED 3/8 ID BRONZE THRUST WASHERS
ONE 1/8" DIAMETER X 1" LONG SPRING PIN FOR USE AT THE HANDWHEEL
THROUGH RESTORING THESE 6" DELUXE JOINTERS, A FEW IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE OPERATION OF THE HAND WHEEL CRANKS TO ADJUST THE INFEED AND OUTFEED TABLES.
THE AMOUNT OF THRUST FORCE DELIVERED THROUGH THE ADJUSTING SHAFT IS A FUNCTION OF THE TIGHNESS OF THE GIBS THAT ALLOW THE INFEED AND OUTFEED CASINGS TO RAISE AND LOWER AS ADJUSTED. WITH LESS PLAY AND MORE SECURE GIBS THE FORCE GETS GREATER.
THE ADJUSTING SHAFT NEEDS TO ABSORB THE THRUST LOAD WHEN TURNING IN THE RAISING AND LOSERING BRASS NUT. IN ONE DIRECTION OF THEHANDWHEEL ROTATION, THE LOAD IS DIRECTED TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE. IN THE OTHER DIRECTION OF THE HANDWHEEL ROTATION, THE LOAD IS DIRECTED TOWARD THE BACK OF THE MACHINE.
ON THE STEPPED SHAFT, IT IS BEST TO PLACE ONE STAINLESS BACK-UP WASHER AND ONE BRONZE THROUST WASHER ON THE INSIDE OF THE MACHINE SO IT RESTS AGAINST THE FRONT WALL OF THE TABLE CASTING.
THEN PLACE A SIMILAR SET OF STAINLESS AND BRONZE WASHERS ON THE ADJUSTING SHAFT OUTSIDE OF THE CASTING AND BEFORE THE HANDWHEEL IS INSTALLED. THE HANDWHEEL IS THEN PUSHED TIGHT AGAINST THE STAINLESS WASHER BEFORE THE SET SCREW FOR THE HANDWHEEL TO BE SECURED.
THESE PAIRS OF WASHERS ABSORB THE LOAD FROM THE ADJUSTING SHAFT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
REVIEW THE PHOTOS FOR PLACEMENT OF THE THRUST WASHERS. THE INSIDE PAIR MUST BE INSTALLED AS THE SHAFT IS INSERTED.

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!
