4.0 out of 5 stars Good saw, mediocre attachments, January 25, 2002

Pro: The cast iron deck, left attachment, and the saw itself is square and cuts accurately. Even tilting the blade to 45 degrees the cuts are very accurate. If you buy the complete kit with dado, extension, roll around base etc. you get good value for the money. The roll-around base is very well made and fits the saw well.

Cons: The right hand extension (laminated particle board) is neither square nor flat - making the fence diffcult to slide accross the top and also making the fence inaccurate when positioned on the extension. The laminated particle board extension is also only laminated on one side, so it is not flat, making it impossible to align with the cast iron deck. The next problem is the blade guard (kerf guide) which is very difficult to align with the blade. I finally cut a jig and clamped it to the deck to help line up the blade guard - you will waste a lot of time when you switch between dado blades and saw blade and have to re-align the dang blade guard. I felt that Delta could have done a much better job with this package.

Summary: Good value for the dollar - an accurate cutting saw, but some of the accessories were poorly designed or of poor material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Saw for the Money, January 10, 2002

This review is from: Delta 36-426 Limited Edition 10-Inch Contractors Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this saw at a Woodworking Show recently and I thought this saw had the most bang for the buck. I considered the Powermatic A64 but it was not represented very well. The set up was really straight forward, the directions were clear. I read the review from Brian below and have no idea was he is talking about in regards to attacthing the front fence rail. It should have taken about 10 minutes. The assembly time should take you 4-5 hours without interruptions. I ended up rewiring the saw for 220v and the difference in power is a very noticeable improvement. Love the fence. It is rock solid and accurate. The laminate table I had a little trouble leveling it to the table. I am happy with it though. I gave it a 4 because it is hard for me to give anything a 5 just on principle. I am going to purchase a power link belt to reduce some of the vibration, and a new blade because I am not happy with the performance with the one that came with it. I would reccomend this saw to a friend. Definitely.

The saw is everything I expected.

To assemble easier don't follow the instructions to lift saw on to assmbled legs.

Leave the saw upside down on its pallet and assemble the legs to it up side down, than lift into upright position. I was able to do this alone without any trouble and only minor grunting.
