Q/ have some old Rockwell tools, including a router and a drill press. I am guessing Rockwell doesn't make these tools anymore — do they even exist?

A Yes. And no. Rockwell exists today, but it has nothing to do with woodworking. Way back in 1945, Rockwell bought Delta Manufacturing Company. In 1960, Rockwell purchased the Porter-Cable Machine Company.

For several years, says Porter-Cable public relations manager Todd Langston. the now familiar Porter-Cable and Delta woodworking tool brands didn't exist. Instead. Rockwell was on the label. In 1981. Rockwell sold the portable electric tool business to Pentair in St. Paul. Minnesota, and the Porter-Cable name reemerged. Pentair resurrected Delta, too, with a 1984 purchase. In 1999. the two former Rockwell possessions merged operations at their Jacksonville, Tennessee

headquarters. _/

Todd Langston says he can still find Rockwell parts at Porter-Cable's headquarters.
