Amazon.com Review
This benchtop saw from Delta's Shopmaster line offers accuracy and reliability in an easily portable package. It has a 13 amp, 120-volt motor for plowing through cuts and features a 17-1/4-by-26-inch table that allows for a 9-7/8-inch maximum rip to the right of the blade. There's a self-aligning rip fence that locks in parallel to the blade and a T-slot groove in the table. It also has a see-through blade guard with an integral splitter and antikickback fingers, and a toggle-style on/off switch. This model comes with a hefty steel stand so you can use it anywhere you need it. While this is a great saw for do-it-yourselfers working on smaller projects, people needing more rip capacity and a more powerful motor will want to consider a step up to Delta's TS220 Shopmaster saw. --Brian Trinen

Don't get it just because it is cheap!,

This review is from: DELTA TS200LS Shopmaster 10-Inch Portable Bench Saw with Legs (Tools & Home Improvement)
I picked up the Delta TS200LS about 3 months ago from my local Lowe's. I like the Delta name and needed a table saw; I didn't have much money to spend. Solely because of that, I chose the Delta TS200LS. The miter gauge slot and blade insert are not standard and you will not be able to find generic upgrades for them. Once I decided to buy a new miter gauge, due to the aluminum cheapy included, I finally found out that this was not standard. After getting the chance to use a better Delta, I noticed that my previous wavy lines in my cuts weren't due to me using the equipment incorrectly; it was the equipment! I could never get a perfectly straight line, even on rip cuts with the fence. This may be a good saw for work site needs but if this is going to be set up in your home and you plan on using it more often than rarely, do yourself a favor and spend some extra money. With Lowe's gracious 90 day return policy, I just picked up a TS300 for $300 and THIS is a table saw! Perfect cuts each time and it doesn't feel like my table wants to vibrate away now.

Good Inexpensive Homeowner Saw,
This review is from: DELTA TS200LS Shopmaster 10-Inch Portable Bench Saw with Legs (Tools & Home Improvement)
Ok. Lets get something straight - this is an inexpensive little saw. If you want to do more than little projects, invest the money for a better saw. Having said that, yes the miter slots are smaller, and not as accurate as those on other Delta's. This saw has the same size miter slots as the TS200 series & TS220LS. The idea is, it's not meant for big jobs so a smaller miter gauge and slot are fine. Don't pan a saw, or cry "Sour Grapes" because you can't weigh yourself with a thermometer - it wasn't designed for that. The TS-300 (formerly 36-600) & other contractor / pro series saws have more heavy-duty miter gauges & slots at a more heavy duty price. In addition the fence is a little rickety. However, if you take the time to work with the adjustments and you can get it to do pretty well. I always measure to be safe (measure twice, cut once). Everyone knows the value of a table saw lies in its fence and miter gauge. Here you get what you pay for. The directions were very good and saw assembled in a little more than an hour. Make sure you take the time to check the set up. Out of the box my blade was not aligned with the table correctly, I found out the hard way- my error. I had to make an adjustment that I should have checked for and performed when I set up the saw. The blade splitter is a real pain (most are junk). Again you will need to take the time to properly adjust it [which I actually did]. However you still can't throw it back and have it stay out of the way for making adjustments or measurements. The anti-kickback clips have a tendency to catch on the material and throw off the feed and alignment. I took mine off, but for safety reasons I don't recommend that anyone else do this. The stand is fine, the weight & stability are very good. The saw is easily portable. The on/off switch is in a good / safe place. There's plenty of power for small projects. The blade that comes with it is fair for the homeowner. However, I recommend a thin kerf Freud blade - it will help a lot. I used my TS200LS to make a fish tank stand and build a Murphy bed cutting 3/4" birch plywood and 2x4's. The TS200 performed admirably. Now my wife wants me to build an entertainment center (time for a bigger better saw). Overall, this is a good little saw for the money and small projects. If that describes your needs than this is the saw for you, no doubts. For bigger jobs perhaps not. My father always said buy quality and you'll only cry once. Amazing how the older I get the smarter he gets. }:-) I hope this review helps.

Worth the money,
By A Customer
This review is from: DELTA TS200LS Shopmaster 10-Inch Portable Bench Saw with Legs (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have to agree with some of the previous reviews. This is a good, portable table saw. I wanted an inexpensive and portable table saw to get my workshop started. The low price, light weight and included stand fitted my needs exactly.I have used this saw to build some bookcases and to rip some nailers for a crown molding project, as well as some other smaller jobs. So far this little Delta has powered through everything with only the problems that would come from any other lightweight, portable saw. I did pick up a thin kerf Freud Diablo after-market blade. This saw and blade combo makes VERY SMOOTH cuts while the included blade is great for chewing through stock when a little wave doesn't matter. This is not a cabinet saw with an ultra-accurate fence. Don't rely on the included rule. Get out your T-square and set the fence. Once the fence is set, I've found that it stays in place. Yes,the mitre slots are smaller than standard and that is a pain in the backside but with a little creativity and some time at the bench grinder my after-market Bench Dog feather boards fit like a dream. The table is small but the portability of the saw was important to me. I stopped at Sears and picked up two Craftsman roller stands and the small table is no longer an issue. The beauty is that all three pieces don't take up much space in my garage. The saw is lightweight and has a tendency to wander on a smooth surface. A piece of plywood with some 2x4's attached in a square shape solves this problem. Set the stand legs inside the square and your body weight stops the wandering. Make sure that the plywood is long enough so you can stand on it while guiding your work piece through the saw. The plywood leans against a wall behind the rollers and saw and doesn't take up much space in my garage. So there are is my opinion of this inexpensive, portable saw. My only complaint with the saw is the non-standard mitre slots (this is the reason that it didn't get 5 stars). The other complaints are inherent with all portable table saws. If you need to make ultra-accurate cuts or power through a ton of hardwood every day, this is not the saw for you. If you do the occasional project and have minimal storage area, this is a great saw with a nice price tag.
