The Delta No. 34-500 Table Saw – Homecraft 8″ Bench Model Tilting Arbor Saw performed all of the operations commonly done on larger and more expensive machines of its type. The working parts were enclosed in a welded steel cabinet. The saw was light weight, had a large working capacity and was ruggedly designed. Cross cutting, ripping, mitering and beveling operations could be easily accomplished. Accessories for dado and molding operations were also available to extend the versatility of the saw.
The rip fence extended the full length of the table. It included the front and rear locking devices
independent of one another. The rip fence could be moved along the graduated scale on the front guide rail without having to measure the distance from the saw blade each time since the pointer incorporated in the front clamp block enabled the operator to read the distance directly.

The blade guard with splitter and anti-kickback fingers gave maximum protection to the operator and view of the saw blade at all times. It was mounted on the saw in such a way that it tilted with the saw at any angle.
The raising and tilting mechanisms were operated by hand-wheels with free turning hand grips and useful locking devices which were located at convenient positions on the side of the saw cabinet.
