I'm going to upgrade to a good contractor's saw, soon. I'm preparing
to sell my Delta direct drive benchsaw. It makes a lot of noise. The
instruction manual doesn't have a single word about how/when to
maintain it, therefore, it received no maintenance for about four
years. Is the Delta worth selling? Is it safe to sell? (There's only
one place, locally, that services Delta products. The guy who runs it
said he'd look at the saw but wouldn't quote me on maintenance or
repairs.) Can it be better used in some other way, i.e., using the
motor to run a small compressor???
It's worth selling, and safe unless something's broken. AFAIK, all you
regularly do to these little saws is keep the sawdust out of the various large
parts. The motor and gearbox should be self-contained like a circular saw. By
that same token, the motor can't be used for much else.
Happy upgrading.

What is it that needs maintained or repaired?
