Proud to say "Made in the U.S.A." [Posted on 2002-10-01]
This by far is the last table saw you will ever need, this baby is the creme de la creme (french for the sweet topping or the final touch) and in America "it's the Bomb" or " A Cadillac in a world of Pinto's. I almost have to make sure I'm wearing my depend's to keep from soiling myself everytime I start that 3HP,Single phase 230v at 4000rpm monster of a saw. Just the sound of this saw alone reminds me of a formula 1 car going top speed at Le Mans(sounds of masterful engineering). Even its cast iron table and extensions are a work of art with their micro ground finish. This baby is smooooth and having a mobile base allows you to roll this fine piece of American ingenuity outside so your wanna be home improvement neighbors can walk by and drool at the sight of this pinnacle of wood dividing apparatus known as the 36-843 3Hp Limited Edition Delta Unisaw. ... P.S. I like to cut wood not burn it....

My Table Saw & Router Cell [Posted on 2002-12-24]
I bought the Delta Table Saw (model 36-843) with Biesemeyer fence. Setup was a breeze with the owners manual and a little common sense. I've read all the reviews posted, and I have to agree with all of them. Some of the troubles people had I've encountered but was able to solve them on the spot. What really impressed me was the POWER. With a new sharp blade and its power cutting through hot butter does not describe it correctly, its like cutting through 2" of oak like if nothing was there.

I built my own design of an out feed table, and put a rout-er-lift, Speedmatic 3 1/2 HP 5 Speed, Incra Ultra-RT Router Fence on the right hand side. For dust collection I have a Portable Dust Collector mounted on the under side of my table where it collects saw dust from both the table saw and router. There was not enough vacuum for both to be open at the same time so I had to put blast gates on the saw and router.

What a Deal [Posted on 2003-01-03]
Delta really thought about the entire package when they put this together. Not only do you get one great saw, but they include the mobile base, a great blade, the table board, and the zero clearance table insert. They have taken all of the guess work out of buying multiple items for a saw and wrapped it into one package. ...

It you're comtemplating over a smaller contractors saw for your shop or a cabinet saw, go with the cabinet saw if you have the room, you won't be disappointed. I was so close to buying a Delta contractors saw, I'm glad I laid out the additional funds and went with the cabinet saw.

The saw is heavy, you need one or two friends to get the saw off of the skid and onto the mobile base and a friend to help you align the cast iron extension wings. Other than that the saw can be put together by one person. It took me about 5 hours total, working over a couple of days to get it together. The saw cuts straight and true and needed very little initial alignment. The fence made by Besymeiser is the best, you can't go wrong with it. I've added the Delta outfeed table to it (see review), and would highly recommend adding some kind of outfeed table to the saw to make cutting long board that much more easier.

Overall I am very happy with the saw, it is the backbone of my shop.

I Would buy another Delta cabinet saw if I had to, but I believe I'll never have to replace this saw.

You will be happy [Posted on 2003-01-23]
this is a great tool. It may often be more than you actually need, but I can't imagine it ever being less than exceptional. If you have the room and the money, I would not hesitate to buy this saw.

You will want to consider where you will put it and how you will get it there. With the 50" fence it is very big, and your 220V needs to be located correctly so the cord can reach and you are not tripping on it. These are things I did not think clear through before the saw arrived and I should have. The other thing to think about is that it is extremely heavy, and it ships in effectively one piece. I needed a lot of help getting it into a basement shop, and after I got it there I decided I could never move. Assembly is simple, and everything is rock solid. After you have it in place, all that weight (and the associated power) is a wonderfull thing.

I am very happy with the fence, and have no complaints about the mobile base, though if the floor is not level, it does not have much clearance when you are moving the saw.

Best Saw Ever! [Posted on 2003-09-11]
This is my first and last table saw! Easy to set up and cuts perfectly with little to no adjusting right out of the crate. The moble base is an excellent accessory that make it easy to roll to the side when not in use. You will not go wrong ordering this saw. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed. Excellent customer service from Delta. The only problem that I had was with the Biesemyer fence. Seems that Biesemyer had a bad production run on the rails that fit this saw. Called Biesemyer and they sent a new set of rails without delay. If you have problems with the holes not aligning up with the table saw, let Biesemyer know. Other than that, excellent buy!
