You Get What You Pay For [Posted on 2002-09-24]
I've owned this saw for a year. The price of this saw is its main appeal. It's also portable. However, it has many drawbacks. The miter slot is loose and inaccurate. Attaching a wooden fence to the miter gauge amplifies the problem. The saw is very loud, you'll need ear plugs to use it for an extended period of time. The fence is quite poor, and pains must taken to ensure it's parallel to the blade after every adjustment. Ensuring the blade is parallel to the table is also a frequent activity, as it frequently moves after use. The blade guard is also lousy requiring, as with all other parts on this saw, frequent adjustment. Overall, this is a cheap saw that can be used with some success if you understand the limitations and have a lot of patience.
Spend a little more and get a good saw. [Posted on 2002-10-18]
I should have spent another 100 bucks and bought a better quality saw. No such thing as a bargin! The Delta 10" table saw is a poorly made product produced in Tiawan. Out of the box the blade needed adjustment. The adjustment mechanism is hard to reach. I had to max out the adjustment to square the blade. The table top does not have grooves or lines to align the fence. The fence moves a 1/16" when I tighten it. I have to measure from blade to fence for every cut. The motor vibrates when cutting any board thicker then 1 1/2" resulting in an uneven cut. Even if you're a beginner looking for an entry level saw...don't buy this saw. You'll be frustrated. A good carpenter doesn't blame his tools...but with this poorly designed and made saw I'll make an exception. I regret buying this saw.

I bought this saw about 6 weeks ago to replace an ancient Craftsman. I wanted to use it a while before forming an opinion and my opinion is...spend the extra money and buy a real saw.
This saw is basically a toy. It has a plastic housing and that right there should tell you about the quality. The fence is questionable at best, it doesn't stay where you lock it and it and the miter gauge doesn't even come close to fitting the slot. For [what I paid]I wasn't expecting a whole lot but just a little accuracy would've been nice. What a disappointing purchase. I guess in order to get a decent saw you need to spend at least twice the amount of this saw...now I just gotta find someone to buy this one.
READ BEFORE DELTA SCAMS YOU TOO [Posted on 2004-10-10]
I JUST BOUGHT A DELTA 36-680 OR SO I THOUGHT.THE BOW SAID 36-679 ON THE BOX .THE SAW ISNT REALLY A 36-680 DELTA TOLD ME THERES NO ACTUAL 36-680 THATS JUST THE EXTRA PARTS.THE SAW SHOULD BE A 36-679 THEY SAID.OK WHY DOES IT HAVE A 36-670 LABEL ON IT.I CALLED DELTA AGAIN WHEN I SAW THE LABEL AND FOUND OUT THEY FORGOT TO REPLACE IT WITH A 36-679 LABEL.WHAT A PIECE OF OLD MIS LABELD JUNK. PLEASE GO TO MY REIVEW AT AMASONS DELTA 36-680 REVEIEW PAGE AND READ HOW THEY ARE SCAMMING PEOPLE AND PUTTING NEW LABELS ON OLD SAWS. TRUST ME IT'S WORTH READING BEFORE YOU MAKE A EXPENSIVE MISTAKE AND WASTE VALUABLE TIME.IT TELLS WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM DELTA. BEWARE OF OLD SAWS WITH NEW LABELS.THEIR 1 1/2 HP MOTOR IS WEEK AND SHUTS OFF WHILE CUTTING PANELING.YES I SQAURED EVERTHING UP FIRST. THIS IS AND ALL MY REVIEWS ARE HONEST.I AM JUST A GUY THAT GOT STIFFED BY DELTA. GOOD LUCK.
Run now! [Posted on 2004-12-14]
I've had this machine for 3-years. Unless you just want to rip 2x4's for framing, run away from this purchase. The motor is good, but that's only positive bit of news about this saw.
The miter slots are a joke. The included gauge has about 3/16" of slop in them, and no other gauges on the market fit it either. The throat plate stinks too. Forget making a zero-clearance insert, because the table top is so poorly designed that you can only use a steel throat plate. Plan on building sleds for any cross-cutting you want to do.
Don't even get me started on the fence which I bent while bolting a sacrificial fence on it the very first day.
