bad bearings [Posted on 2006-10-18]
This is my 2nd review for this saw. The 1st one was immediately after assembly, which went easily. This saw is actually my sons, I have a Jet jtas 10, and he is a very UNHAPPY camper. After less than 4 hrs use it sounds like the upper trunion bearing is going bad, MAJOR PROBLEM!!!
He is currently contacting Delta to see if they will send a tech to replace it or the whole saw goes back to Amazon, in which case he will be buying the Jet like mine, only he gets the left tilt, lol lucky him...........3rd reveiw....turns out not a bad bearing, WAS NO SET SCREW in cooling fan. Delta set a tech out within 3 days and had the problem fixed in 3 hrs. But sure wished they had put in set screw at factory, but good for Delta for a quick fix...........
Scott is right, do not buy this [Posted on 2006-12-03]
I almost bought the same saw at Rockler w. t-2 for less than 1K. There are many better options, Jet, Unisaw, even Grizzly.
Changing arbors for dado use, no mobile base(unisaw one will not fit),ZCT plate(even would be hard to custom make b/c no support on one side and no extention table or legs , less depth of cut and the price is too high.
Garbage [Posted on 2007-03-29]
Delta should not put their name on this saw! While this looks like a Unisaw, the tooling is very poor. As stated in other reviews, this is a cheap version of their great Unisaw brand.
The "arbor" on my saw was machined very poorly or in Siberia. The "nut" was forced on the poorly made "arbor." So the nut would not come off using the supplied allen wrench and lock wrench. The allen wrench stripped out the "arbor" slot. So the only way to get the nut off was to clamp a piece of metal to the table, that went under one of the saw blade teeth, so the blade could not move. With about 500lbs pressure, the nut came loose. So now, just screw off the nut, right. No, the "arbor" was actually tapered so the more you unscrewed the tighter the nut got. After ½ hour of muscling the "nut," it came off (that sounds funny). Next came the collar. Well that just slips over the "arbor" right. Wrong, the tapering was so bad, that the collar could not fit over the "arbor", unbelievable. This "arbor" must have been machined in sub-zero temperatures and expanded.
Delta is sending a new arbor and nut. But I think I should send this hunk of crap back and get a Unisaw. Spend the extra $300, it will be the best money you have ever spent.
Signed,
Nightmare not over yet
Don't be scared [Posted on 2007-05-29]
Don't be scared to order this saw. After reading some of the other customer reviews, I was a bit apprehensive about the saw and the shipping. No need to worry. The saw and fence arrived in perfect shape 7 days after ordering. The tilt indicator on the saw box had not been tripped. All parts, pieces, nuts, bolts and manuals were included. The assembly was straightforward, but did take about 6 hours. I built my own extension table for less than $20.00 using the legs that came with the fence. The saw has plenty of power and no vibration (passed the nickel test) and the fence is solid as a rock. Close to 5 stars.

I just received this saw a few days ago, and so far I am more than satisfied.
There are a few short comings that make this a bit of a challenge to set up. According to Delta, this is a new saw model, so if you buy the outfeed table, as I did, you will have to modify it to make it fit. It is a bit disconcerting to buy new equipment and have to saw holes in it to make it fit, but it did work out ok. If you are afraid to drill holes into the body of your new saw, then do not order the outfeed table. When you are told to drill through the case for mounting the braces for the table, you need to know that the dust collection bin has changed and you cannot get to the inside of the case to use bolts with nuts and I had to go buy some self tapping screws to do the job. They worked fine.
The fence is a huge heavy and remarkable product. It comes in a seperate package shipment and it will surprise you how heavy it is. Set up took a full day, as it is necessary to build an extension to the saw to accomodate the fence unit. I was not prepared for that, but it was not a real problem for me because we just finished adding on to our house, and I had all sorts of materials laying around to do the job.
The saw itself is heavy duty, and is very quiet running. It is a belt drive and not direct if that is one of your requirements. No viberation at all! Extensions which were mentioned as a problem in some other reviews were no problem at all. they went on easily, and were perfectly aligned. All in all, I think this is a great piece of equipment. The outfeed is a challenge and it is a job to set it up, but those buying this type of saw should be handy enough to handle the problems with no stress.
