Hi- I’m new to this so please excuse me if I’m in the wrong place. I just bought a used Delta Unisaw (1994-ish, #36-812) that included a sliding table attachment (#34-555). Turns out there are a few pieces missing or broken on the sliding table.
Does anyone have an unused delta sliding table, or parts, that I could talk with if it’s not used and available? Trying to make this one usable. Thanks 😊

The most critical piece missing is the eccentric bushing that holds the left fence lockdown bolt when the fence is in the forward position. Photos from ereplacementparts and a later edition user manual (item C in figs. 41 & 42) are attached
In all probability most here have never seen such an attachment, let alone have parts for one laying around, your best bet may be to find a metal worker that can make the parts, just measure up what you need. The eccentric is adjustable so specs of cam may not be that critical.
Ebay would be my first choice as a source. There may be an entire unit available, but worth taking a look.
If that doesn't pan out, you'll need to "reverse engineer it". Careful and accurate measurements will insure success.
The cam isn't a difficult piece to make on a lathe for a good machinist, but I don't about the other pieces.
Once you find a shop that's willing to take it on, they will probably want the fence and other mating pieces where dimensions are critical.
