Wondrin' if anyone has any knowledge of this saw. Can't find much info on the Delta site. A guy has one for sale near me for $135. Sounds reasonable. I found a manual online and all I can figure out from that is that it is belt driven which I think is good right? (noob) He says that it is 15 amps. Is that sufficient for hobby woodworking? Any wisdom greatly appreciated! Thanks, Peter

I saw a replacement belt of this model on line at"

it looks like a unique belt - toothed (if that's a word) rather than the v-belt on my saw (which I replaced witha LINK BELT (and love it - big difference noticed))

From what I saw in the manual, I would suggest you could do as well with a new saw from Sears o Harbor freight tools - maybe better.
I've had one for about 20 years... I'd take the 135.00 and put a few more dollars with it and buy a better saw... It's under powered for most jobs and the table is too small.... The belts are about 20.00 and are a pain to put on.... A good used older craftsman would be a better buy. John...
The 34-670 uses a small cogged drive belt enclosed within the motor housing, The motor itself is a single-purpose design made just for this saw. The saw is similar to the 36-600 and the more recent TS350. It is a step or 2 above a benchtop model, but it is not in the same class as what most people would call a contractor's saw. If it is in good condition $135 is a fair price, but a "true" contractors saw, with an induction motor and regular belt drive, somewhat larger table surface, would be more poweful, quiter, and more pleasant to use.
For $135? Not likely.
It's a little bit of an oddball, but for that price- I'd jump on it. You're not going to find anything comparable in that price range elsewhere.
Except that the TS350 uses an induction motor.
