Did You Know?

While taking on home improvement projects yourself may be a great way to save on time and money, sometimes it just isn’t worth the risk. Certain tasks and projects are going to need a skilled hand and a professional level of expertise. If you’re thinking of tackling any of these projects on your own, most likely it’s best to call in a professional:

• Extensive electrical work

• Plumbing underneath the house

• Roofing work

• Pouring concrete

• Siding above ground level

• Any task in which you aren’t totally confident

By taking the time to reexamine your skills, the risks associated with the job, the tools you have available, and the time you have to work with, you may decide that doing it yourself is not the best option. Once you’ve made the decision, it’s time to look at alternatives or contact a professional in your area. Check the phone book, internet, or ask around to get a feel for what professionals would be best for the job as well as the kind of price range you’re looking at. Remember, complicated projects are worth spending more for. Poor jobs in areas like electrical work or plumbing can spell disaster for your home in the future.

Q:

Will the New Delta 78-138B 36″ Biesemeyer Rail and Tube and the Delta 78-055B 52″ Biesemeyer Rail and Tube work on the older Delta saws.

Biesemeyer Rail and Tube

This rail kit will work on older saws. The two holes in the new and old tables are only different by a couple of thousandths and the user may not have to do any drilling. If drilling is required, it is a simple job. Although there are basic similarities, the New UniSaw and the Beisemeyer Fence system are completely redesigned. Differences include that front tube is now extruded and not steel, the table of the saw is bigger, so the Biesemeyer fence is longer. Because the table is longer the tableboard will not fit older shorter tables on old UniSaw or Contractor Saws.

If you would like to use this rail kit with an older saw the older Biesemeyer Universal table boards will work as long as you drill the mounting holes through the table board.

If you want to be assured of a proper fit for your older model UniSaw the Delta BC30 30″ and the Delta BC50 50″ Biesemeyer Commercial Fence systems are an excellent choice and will not require any special effort to work with your current saw.
