I picked this up off CL locally along with a Craftsman Shaper. The PO had these in his dad's barn idle for at least 5 years. They were given to him by a friend who had inherited them but did not want them. This came with all of the accessories listed in the 1938 catalog as part of the Model 645. I had gone to look specifically at the shaper and was asked if I wanted the Delta as well. So I got two for the price of one. Some days are diamonds and other days are stones; today was a diamond. He told me he has the original manual as well but will have to look for it.
The motor is a Walker Turner "The Driver Line", type 5(or S)AB3, 110v, 1740rpm, frame 115, single phase, 1/3hp, s/n 535922. I'll probably use this on my Walker Turner Driver Line Model 900 floor model drill press once that tool is restored.

Comments: Needs some cleaning up. On my list for resoration.The Table under neath is in pristine condition. The plywood table was actually an optional accessory as well, which was pre-drilled to accept the mortising and shaping accessories.

Comments: Accessories for mortising and shaping. The motor top right side is not part of this Delta equipment and the shaper fence actually belongs to an old Craftsman shaper.
