Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had this saw a couple months now and I'm thoroughly pleased with it.Given the price tag, my expectations were very high and for the most part it didn't disappoint.I can tell someone really spent some time thinking about how to make a table saw better.
Everything was done right except the fence.Do get me wrong, it's a solid fence but I had two issues.First, the faces were wavy and not parallel.Lining up the fence to the miter slot was impossible.Once I got the left side as close as I could, then the right side was way off.Solution: I ripped off the cheap plywood faces and made my own out of solid wood.They are less flexible and can be shimmed out perfectly straight.In some places it took the width of 3 or 4 paying cards to make it right.With the shims it is also possible to get the right and left sides parallel to each other in case you make cuts on both sides of the blade.I do wish they had used something other than self taping screws to attach the fence.I may eventually tap threads into the fence to hold the faces.
The other issue with the fence was the cursors.They were so far off the rail, accurate readings were impossible because of the parallax.Also, since they were mounted on top of the fence they couldn't be lowered closer to the rail with a couple of simple washers.I had to make my own cursors to solve the problem.
Overall, I love the saw, and the problems I encountered I was able to fix myself.Actually, I had no choice but to fix them myself.Nothing about the fence was defective--the issues were design related.I wish someone could have put some time into redesigning the fence like they did the saw.Especially considering how much this saw costs.
There is also something I'm curious about.I bought the 3hp version 36-L352.However, after looking at the label on the motor, it's clearly says it is 5hp.Has anyone else seen this "problem?"I wonder if Delta just ran out of 3hp motors and used the 5hp instead.
