Just picked up a 1936-40 era Delta 1160 and started a cleanup on it.
I have found a piece of square metal bar just behind the front trunnion that I cannot find in any other picture or parts diagrams found on the internet and I'm wondering if anyone on this site has any clues as to why its there. I had thought that maybe it was a stop for lowering the table but as you see it won't work for that
There is only one screw holding in in place and in the pictures I show it in the position as found and one where I have rotated in somewhat.
Paint looks to me to be the same as the rest of the saw but I can't see any part # on the piece or any reason for it.
Any Ideas?
Thanks Dave
