Comments:

This saw came from the Hoover company auction last year. I had been looking for a 14" Delta for some time, but hadn't found one in my price range when my boss snagged this one for me. This saw was fairly intact but needed about twenty layers of industrial vomit green paint removed. Bless all the workers who painted around the tags rather than over them.I spent about three hundred dollars on this saw and haven't regretted a dime. The Hoover machine shop fitted it with round top blade guides and a low fence which works quite well. The Hoover tag on the stand has been left, too, because in my neck of the woods, this saw is a part of history.
