Here are 2 of my 4 cast iron based Delta 14"ers. I had one for 14 years in my last Industrial Tech teaching job that set there and sawed for several hours a week and never had to do much at all to it.man they are a good if not the best mid sized bandsaw ever made in my book and quite a bit better than the vintage 14" Deltas, but I really like the looks of the aforementioned Deltas on the optional art deco cast iron bases.
#1949 delta rockwell table saw plus
I have about 7 or so bandsaws (mostly WWII or before / 10" and 14"Deltas) currently and have used probably 50 plus types and brands over the years and yes the 36" Yates American and the 36" Olivers and the Tanys and the Northfields are all great, but if I didn't collect Deltas and only had one pick for a bandsaw for a home sized shop my pick would be a 16" Walker Turner metal/woodcutting bandsaw.
