not what I expected from Delta [Posted on 2001-10-29]
I've owned this saw for a little more than two months and have to say the saw performs well. It's the Biesemeyer Fence and table system that is part of a never ending problem (Biesemeyer is now own by Delta). All previous reviews found assembly problems with the side and out feed tables. Reviews that seem to have vanished? The cast iron wings tables are also anything but flush with the main table deck. I would check in to other saws if I had to do it over. The unisaw was a great saw, but feel delta has let thing go down hill.

Good tool, need adjustments out of the box [Posted on 2002-09-27]
After getting 642lbs of saw unloaded, I unpacked and assembled the saw. The blades that come with this package are excellent! The main issue I had with the saw was that the blade was 1-2 degrees off from perpendicular to the table surface. I eventually figured out how to make the adjustment, which is a bolt with a jam nut to keep it in place. The Biesemeyer fence is nice, and the distance calibration is easy. The fence is sturdy, accurate and very easy to adjust. The out feed table is a nice addition, but I had to drill holes thru the back angle bracket to attach the unit to the saw. The 5HP motor wastes no time getting the blade to speed and has never even thought about bogging. The machined parts seem pretty nice, but the table sections are ~0.030 from flat, which took some adjusting to get the rip fence to easily slide over the section joints. All in all I am very happy with the saw, after the adjustments.
New upgrade [Posted on 2003-02-13]
I recently purchased this saw and am totally satisfied. ... This saw has PLENTY of power, a very accurate fence, and the table top is nice and flat. Some time and adjustments are required to get this tool set up perfectly, but once it is set up, it is set! The blade was not set at 90 degrees to the table out of the box, but 5 minutes is all it takes to adjust this. The extension wings have room to adjust them so they can be flat with the rest of the table-take your time. Everything is adjustable on this tablesaw, so take your time, make your measurements, and adjust it accordingly. The only thing keeping this from getting 5 stars is the miter gauge. It is kind of cheap to put [an inexpensive]gauge in with a saw of this caliber. I will soon be upgrading this, but this is the ONLY fault that I have found with the saw.
my saw can beat up your saw [Posted on 2003-06-26]
I served one year of a machine build apprenticeship before becoming a toolmaker so I have enough tools and knowhow to check out a saw.Mine came out of the box dead on,yes there was a little damage to the outfeed table,and yes it took all day to set up,but the saw,the blades,and fence all perform very well.So if you are looking to buy a serious piece of equipment you should consider the 5hp unisaw,on the other hand if you think you are getting in over your head, you probably are.Good luck CP.
