4.0 out of 5 stars High-Performance Table Saw at a great price, August 24, 2005

Table Saw arrived in good condition on a pallet. If you look at the box around the saw, check the indicator to see that it has NOT been tipped over. Also, when saw arrived I only received the saw itself and had to wait for the two ther packages. Saw setup was HORRIBLE. I can't stress that eneough. I was missing pieces and some of the pieces I received were of the wrong size. If you buy this saw and attach the cast iron wings do NOT use the lock washers provided as they were too small and resulted in the wings not lining up. I reccomend buying other larger washers and you will save yourself much grief. Also, I reccomend checking that all the necessary bolts, nuts, etc. are all accounted for as then you will only have to make one trip to the hardware store to pick up more instead of two or three. Otherwise after assembly, this saw works like a dream. I was also surprised to find out that this saw comes with a factory installed brake which was really a nice feature. Also, if your buying the mobile base with this saw DON'T do it! The mobile base they reccomend (Delta 50-289 Mobile Machine Base for Unisaw with 52" Unifence) does not fit and I had to jerry rig mine securely with L-brackets. This saw is great though. The unifence that came with it was dead on and required no adjustment. The only thing I had to tweak was the positive stop on the 0 degree mark, but the 45 degree tilt was dead on. Do yourself a favor and purchase this saw as it is a great price for all the features that are packed in it. Also, I would highly reccomend the Forrest Woodworker II Blade as it rips through hardwoods no problem and leaves no chip out on the various plywoods I have used. Let it be noted too that Amazon price matches, so shop around online and they will match the price you find. Great saw at a great price, just a pain in the butt to setup.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Table Saw, August 10, 2006

Ordered and received the table saw with the fence system in a matter of about a week. Smaller peices come UPS and the saw comes from a delivery service hired thru Amazon or vendor. Only makes sense because it weighs 476 pounds. Be prepared to have delivery guy drop it where you want it (ideally close to where it will be when you want to use it). Because you won't want to move it more than a few inches from off the crate to final assembly and use. I read several tips to not get the mobile base and several said to get it. I chose not too. I don't regret not having the base, YET. It was very hard for me to find any information on this particular saw model 36-731 about exact base, etc. I could not find any professional reviews on it. Only thing is that the blade tilts right and some say the blade should tilt away (left) from the extended fence. Haven't had to cut a 45 on an extra wide piece in a year anyway. Be careful when sorting out the bolts for the fence extension brackets and the bolts for the wings--the threads are different and you will screw it up like I did by letting a 16 year old help me put it together. We had zero missing parts and the directions were very clear and would be even more clear if I had ever paid attention to visually identifying threads per inch and length of a bolt--sounds simple enough but just never really paid attention to it before. After tapping out the hole (our mistake--not Delta or Amazon)--the saw went perfectly together with only one problem. Could not get the left wing to sit flush when tightening the mounting bolts--may have to take apart (simple) and wipe off the anti rust grease and retighten. The wing wants to lift about a 32nd of an inch when bolts start tightening. I am an amateur woodworker with limited experience with professional saws and went from a $79 Ryobi to this monster. It also makes me feel like I am getting away with something since I was able to save over half the cost and have it delivered for only $99.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor customer Service, January 6, 2007

I ordered this saw 2 Oct 2006. I was given a delivery date of 5 Oct 2006.

Of course this didnt happen. I contacted the freight company the saw was about 1 hour away from my location waiting for a smaller truck to make a trip this way, which could take a week.

Anyways it finally arrived. Tip indicator was smashed, but the box looked OK. Buddy and I unpackaged it and, brought out the instructions. We read the parts list and found out that the fence rails were missing.

Additionally the head that the fence attaches to was damaged, along with the fence itself being damaged. So I contact Amazon about the missing/damaged pieces. Here is 6 January 2007 and I still do not have a replacement for the damaged fence. I have sent no less than 8 emails and calls to them.

As far as the SAW itself seems to run fine, wish I could use it. Assembly instructions were, eh, OK, I did have to go out and buy differently tread pitch bolts, as there seems to be a discrepancy in the instructions, and the correct bolts were not supplied.

Oh and the mobilebase that Amazon advertises that fits this saw, NO IT DOESN'T.

The rating I am giving reflects how upset I am over this transaction. No compensation has been offered, nothing to solve this problem. Buyers be ware. Upset? Heck yes I am. I paid my good money, I do not, as of yet, have what I ordered after over 3 months in time.
