Great Cabinet Saw [Posted on 2008-04-23]
I bought this saw and have been very happy with it. it was a difficult decision since I could not find out much information, but have since learned more. The first thing I noticed was the T2 fence rather than the Beismeyer. It's lighter duty, but has worked well. The far end of the fence actually hooks the angle iron on the back of the saw which acts as a hold down I guess. The only concern is that it could make an extension table connection a little more complicated.

Secondly the throat plate is more rectangular than the Unisaw oval shape. Aftermarket throat plates are not an option with this saw. This is not an issue with me, but could be for others. Custom made throat plates from wood or other materials are easily made with a router equipped with a pattern bit. There is not much space to the right of the blade for a zero clearance throat plate, but mine have worked well for over a year.

The only real issue I had with the saw was after I bought it I realized that the arbor is not long enough for a dado set... not a full one anyway. It felt like false advertising since a dado capability of +3/4" is claimed by Delta. The manufacturer states that the saw is capable but you have to buy an optional arbor (spindle) and throat plate kit. BTW you can't get the arbor alone. I've since done that, for about $40 I now have a longer arbor and a spare shorter (original) shaft. the good news is that if the threads ever got damaged the arbor is easily replaceable.

Lastly the base has large threaded holes on the lower left side. I don't know what they are for, but I'm curious. I suspect that they might be used for an optional sliding table support.

I definitely recommend this saw. It is a true cabinet saw and much sturdier than the hybrid for about the same price.
