If people do not know about this model specifically, does anyone know about the differences between Beaver/Delta and Delta generally? Are Beaver/Delta or Rockwell machines that were made in Canada the same as the US Delta machines when the same model number is used?
So far I know that Rockwell acquired Beaver at some point and made tools in Canada under the Rockwell name.
Anyone? Anyone?
