Hello,
My brother-in-law purchased an older Delta Table saw....nice one. Burned out motor, and replaced it. Almost just like new. Only thing he does not have the wrenches with it, and figure the owner never changed the blade and thus the motor got too hot ripping and burned out. Anyway, where can he get the original wrenches? He is modify some wrenches, and I was curious if he could just find some. Thank You john
check feebay
also look everywhere you haven't so far
A 7/8 wrench and a piece of wood works.
Otherwise, search this site for the specific model.

I've got a 1948 Delta and just use an adjustable wrench and a piece of wood. You shouldn't need a special wrench.
Not sure which were shipped with them; if it isn't a Unisaw but one of the contractors saws they were probably just stamped sheet (1/8" roughly) steel anyway.
The Powermatic Model 66 came with a cast iron hex wrench that's pretty nice; as said not sure what the Unisaurs came with; never had one.
A nice box end w/o a large offset would probably suit well altho just a regular combination will suffice.
But not nearly as well as two wrenches, Especially when using stacked dado blades.

Well, the wrench has to be longer than the blade radius... so you could cut a wrench shape into the dead blade, and use that. I've done it. Lotsa sparks from the pneumatic grinder, might want to do it outdoors.
My early 1990s Delta Contractor saw uses a wrench made from flat steel. Ab out 1/8" thick. Has a 7/8" nut opening on one end and a 1" nut opening on the other end. Not sure why they put two sizes on the wrench. About 9.75" long so easily reaches to the center of a 10" saw blade where the mounting nut is located. The wrench is stamped or cut out of 1/8" thick steel. A regular Craftsman wrench would be just as nice or nicer. The nut holding t he blade on is one size. So you only need one wrench to change the blade. You don't need an adjustable wrench because there is only one nut to loose n or tighten and its size does not change.

Well, I'd start with the original manufacturer:
Altho that might not be the cheapest solution.

True I have a modified bandsaw blade my father made for the inside fitting. The bandsaw was huge, Case used it for sawing demo cut aways. Mark
For those that don't have a modified BS blade, ;!), consider an inexpensive wrench for the arbor flange side of the blade. It will most likely require a thin wrench but less expensive wrenches can easily be ground down to fit, using a grinder. I needed a "thin" wrench to replace a KitchenAid blender drive sprocket. I bought a Northern Tool wrench and ground it down for that one specific purpose.
I have a thinned out wrench like that, but I have forgotten what I made it to fit.
You can buy thin wrenches, that's what I'd do if something happened to my table saw wrench. Sears sells them, and I think if you dags you'll find a lot of them. Would be pretty simple to put a slight bend in the wrench if your saw needs a bent thin wrench, as mine does. Sears sells a 1/2" one for under $10 for example.

If you can't find the Delta stamped sheet metal ones, look around for "tappet" wrenches.
Should be available as double open end or maybe even combination wrenches.
(Open end with closed end on opposite end).

Get someone with a CNC machine and laser or plasma and ask them to cut out your design. Draw it out on a paper - 100% scale or other - but state the other.

Is feebay related to festool? ;)
don't think so but maybe related to feintoosl
