'''Delta Machinery''' manufactures several lines of power tools.  Delta's [http://www.deltawoodworking.com/index.asp?e=37 history] began with its founding as the "Delta Specialty Company" in 1919 by Herbert Tautz.  Based at first in Tautz' [[Milwaukee, Wisconsin]] garage, the business thrived, first making small tools for home shops and later expanding into light industrial machinery.  In 1945, the business, by then known as Delta-Milwaukee, was acquired by [[Rockwell International|Rockwell]] Manufacturing Company.  By the late 1950s, Rockwell had become a powerhouse in stationary and woodworking machinery through expansion of its product line and acquisitions of companies such as [[Walker-Turner]] and [[Crescent Machine Company]].  In 1981, Rockwell's power tool group was acquired by [[Pentair]] and rebranded Delta, the brand that it carries today.  Pentair's Tools group was acquired by [[Black & Decker]] in 2004.
