Comments:

I acquired this machine from a local Slinger, WI man named Eddie Olson on 3-7-2021. He acquired it from a man in Racine in approx. 2014. Its bed is flat, tested that, and it came with a second set of blades, though they appear to be a bit long for the router. I dont know much about this machine except what I have learned here at the vintage machinery site. By comparing to various photos, this might be the oldest Delta 6" Precision model to be featured at this time. I base this on the shape of the front of the machine and the decal upon it, if anyone can be more precise I would welcome some feedback. I am planning to refinish it but would like to replicate this decal from a better quality image than the one I have found on this website, Now i need to find someone with an inkjet printer!
