Amazon.com Review
From the first time you hit the push-button magnetic starter, you'll wonder why you waited. It's quality from top to bottom, and you never get anything less than absolute accuracy, both from the saw and its 30-inch Biesemeyer fence. p The table is beautifully machined cast iron, and with its left extension wing and top-notch laminate extension table, it measures 54 inches wide by 27 inches deep, and it gives you a just over a foot in front of the blade. The T-slots are smooth and free of burrs, and the Auto-Set miter gauge rides the slots without the slightest bit of slop. p There's zero vibration - nada, nothing, zip - and that's in part because of the three-belt V-drive that transfers all the motor's power to the blade. It's a lot quieter than we expected, too, and just runs like a dream. Closed-cabinet saws don't spew a lot of dust into the air, and this one's no exception. The 4-inch dust port lets you connect your dust-collection system to the cabinet, efficiently pulling waste away from you. p The Biesemeyer fence on this saw is the perfect match for it: It glides as if on air, giving you precision every time. The three-point locking system assures you of accuracy and parallelism to the blade, and the hairline cursor works with the integrated steel tap so you never have to use your measuring tape to check the fence again. It's built to last of 9-ply Finnish birch and high-impact laminates that Biesemeyer hand-fits to the angle iron and tubing. You just can't get a better fence for a saw of this caliber. p Assembly is a bit of a physical challenge: Give yourself a good three hours, and make sure you've got strong friends or coworkers to lend a hand. Once put together, though, you'll likely never have to do any work on this saw again. It's a beauty.i--Kris Jensen-Van Heste/i

Excellent choice for the serious woodworker December 6, 2006

Like most folks who post these reviews, I too spent quite a while researching my table saw purchase. For the longest time, I was determined to buy the Grizzly. In the end, the free shipping tipped the scales in favor of the Delta. br / br /I echo the other reviewer's comments about the quality of this machine. Packing, fit, finish, and ease of assembly were all first class. The saw was missing the two legs that support the extension table. Different models/configurations come with legs, some don't. The box is the same. It was an honest oversight and Delta quickly corrected it. I am completely satisfied with this machine and would recommend it to anyone looking for a first class saw for the serious woodworker. br / br /The first time you turn it on - you will see what I mean. After using cheap table saws for years, I was amazed. Even with the junk saw blade included by Delta, this saw powers through hardwoods with ease. I can't wait to see what it will do with a Woodworker II blade. br / br /As a footnote to all this praise, I would add that the Biesemeyer Fence system does exactly what it claims to do: set it and forget it. After carefully following the instructions and making some very fine adjustments, (10th of a turn on the allen screws) cuts accurate to a 64th of an inch (without using the tape measure) are now routine. The hardest thing about using this fence system is getting used to not using your tape measure to set up your table saw cuts. br / br /Though not recommended by the instructions (fire hazard), lacquer thinner works great to remove the thin film of packing grease on the saw's table top. After final cleaning with some 409, I used some paste wax on the surface of the saw table and the fence surfaces. This really improved the operation of the fence. It glides across the saw with ease. br / br /I will close this review with one caution: MAKE SURE you thoroughly coordinate the shipping of this behemoth and verify the shipper has a way to move the pallet this saw comes on off of the truck and into your shop. In my case, I live in the country. The saw showed up on a 28' semi-trailer. After some creative maneuvering, the driver had the trailer positioned, but he had no way to get the 400+lb pallet off the truck. Fortunately, I have a tractor with a front-end loader and was able to easily move the saw from the truck into my shop. I cannot imagine what I would have done otherwise. All I know is you need to have a plan for dealing with this thing when it arrives. Assume the truck driver cannot unload it, and prepare accordingly. br /
Good Tool With a Good Foot Print July 9, 2005

I wanted a good table saw with better good collection, and a good fence. Like all of you, I looked in the woodworking magazines, reviews on Amazon.com, talked to my friends and looked at saws in the store. I chose this one. Also I have one car space of my garage for woodworking. Mostly I don't make wide rips, so a 30" rip capability meets my needs. br / br /I purchased the saw from Amazon. I picked it up at the ABS freight terminal. Unloading this beast was not the chore I thought it would be. I used two 8' 2x12s as ramps, and my wife, son and I unloaded it from my truck (2 pushed the saw down the ramp and one worked on the down hill side to keep it from getting away). br / br /I was able to move the cabinet off the pallet and onto the mobility base using the 1x3 southern yellow pine pieces delta used for packaging support. The rest of the assembly went well. The instructions were straightforward, with may be a couple of steps omitted, and the fence instructions referenced some bolts, that were not supplied. I purchased bolts referenced, and found that the head was proud of the angle iron support. I used the ones supplied and they worked fine. After assembly, the fence was a bit out of parallel with the blade and needed to be adjusted. The adjustment was simple, and my cuts are quite nice. br / br /Some of the reviews mention the flatness (or lack there of) of the table. I checked the top with my tri-square ruler, and its not perfectly flat. However it is flat enough for square cuts. br / br /The few I have a few complaints. I would have preferred a 2nd cast iron wing. The miter gage is not so hot (but no one expects it to be). I plan to buy an aftermarket gage. The splitter and blade guard are annoying to remove for non-through cuts, and the rear support for the splitter/guard gets in the way of out feed support. br / br /I found an article on the WoodCentral web site that showed a couple of ideas how to modify stock guard/splitter to make it easier to remove and preserve the guard (the URL is http://woodcentral.com/cgi-bin/readarticle.pl?dir=powertoolsfile=articles_234.shtml). With this modification the splitter/guard is nice and I think it meets my needs. br / br /I make a bookshelf out of plywood and oak using this saw. When reducing the plywood I found the height of the saw was good for manhandling the sheet. I also see the attraction of a 50" fence. However I don't use much plywood and the footprint of this saw leaves a room to move in my one car woodworking space. br / br /I was pleasantly surprised about the handles. Some of the reviews lead me to believe that they were cheesy. They are made of cast iron, and have a solid feel. I like `um. br / br /I have used this saw to make 2 projects and some jigs. The cuts are oo-so fine. The dust collection works like a champ (for the dust in the cabinet). The 2 wrench blade change is nice. The on-saw storage is OK. The table board is nice, the lamination is slick and level enough with the cast iron table.
Shoulda bought it sooner May 31, 2005

I bought this saw as a replacement for my Powermatic 63 after I couldn't get replacement parts from Powermatic since the saw is no longer made. I looked at the Grizzly and the Shop Fox but given my Powermatic 63 parts experience I didn't want to go through that again and with free shipping on the Unisaw the price difference wasn't as big anymore. Why not get the original and skip the potential headaches? The first unisaw was made in the late 1930's and parts for most of the versions can be had with minimal trouble. br / br /From the moment I fired it up for the first time, it's been the best woodworking purchase I've ever made. The motor fires up instantly and is so stable. I haven't done the nickel test, but I don't think I need to. I'm using a Woodworker II and between the saw and this blade, it's a winning combination. The motor doesn't slow at all no matter what I throw at it. br / br /I also recommend the Delta mobile base. I used the HTC base on the Powermatic and the Delta blows it away, no rocking or needing to turn the feet down by hand to stabilize the saw after rolling to a location, just hit the foot pedal and start sawing.
