Delta 40-530

[MrTeroo]

Well I won this little fella on eBay yesterday. £53.50

Seems ok, but I have a thousand questions :?

1. Is there any routine servicing I should do? Oiling etc

2. Should I do anything to the table/bed?

3. I ordered some blades, hope I chose the right ones?

4. How do I change the blade? Access to the bottom part isn't very good. I have seen mentioned a blade wrench

This isn't available anymore. Do I need one?

Thanks in advance

You can change the lower blade with a long-ish allen wrench and a screwdriver to hold the clamp still. I'm sure it's a 4mm allen key and a 5mm bar to hold the blade clamp still. (I can check mine if you like?)


I'm sure somebody on here made on for their saw... and if you cross their palm with silver.

Well done! looks a very solid saw and once you have oiled it etc it will be ideal.........another Delta owner on will please Naz no end! lol they do get great reviews so a good buy for ya.
The blades are ideal too I use them as do many others on here so good choice.

Cheers and look forward to your scrolling projects etc

Forgot to mention, give the table a good sanding with wet and dry paper and then wax it to protect it from rust and make your work slide on it easier.
For the rest just a clean up and lubricate any moving parts etc it looks very solid machine so its basically cosmetics if you want.

Thank you!

I'll have a look at those tomorrow.

I'm a bit wary about changing the blade though because I can't find any idiot proof instructions for this model.

When the new blades arrive I will give it a go.

It should show you how to change blades in the manual as for idiot proof Naz has one so you should have no problem :lol: :lol: sorry about that Naz :lol:

+1 to what all the others said.

I don't know the machine myself (never even seen one before!) but it does look pretty substantial. I guess that provided it doesn't have a bent arm or something really bad like that (and it looks too big and heavy for that), then it will last you well.

Good buy, have fun with it mate.
