Full Description
COMPLETE GUARD RETURN TENSION ADJUSTING UNIT FOR THE VINTAGE DELTA 37-220 DELUXE JOINTER

• Torsion Spring – P/N DJ-13

ENGINEERED IMPROVEMENTS
Every component has been thoughtfully designed or selected to provide improved durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability over the original Delta parts.
Retainer Washer
Precision laser cut from corrosion-resistant aluminum rather than the original carbon steel. The washer is CNC machined with accurately positioned holes and a redesigned slot that makes installation of the spring tab easier while maintaining proper function.
Hand Knob Assembly
The hand knob and internal slotted sleeve are CNC machined from solid C1018 steel, replacing the original die-cast zinc component.
After machining, the knob is TIG welded to its internal sleeve, hand finished, sandblasted, and thoroughly inspected before receiving a proprietary Jet-Hot® ceramic coating.
Following oven curing at approximately 450°F, each knob is burnished in vibrating ceramic media to produce a beautiful chrome-like finish.
Originally developed for high-performance automotive exhaust systems, Jet-Hot ceramic coating provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and a long-lasting finish that outperforms traditional chrome plating.
Retainer Ring
Precision CNC machined from solid aluminum billet, replacing the original die-cast component for improved strength and durability.
Hardware
Three 18-8 stainless steel fillister head slotted screws are included. Unlike the original carbon steel hardware, these fasteners provide excellent corrosion resistance and long service life.
Whether you're completing a museum-quality restoration or returning your jointer to regular shop service, this premium assembly combines authentic appearance with improved materials and quality craftsmanship for years of dependable operation.

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!
