The price tag alone--roughly half the cost of the next model on the market--goes a long way toward recommending this Delta portable benchtop saw. The saw itself, while not designed to hold up to the demands of the job site, is ideal for small home shops and occasional use. The blade-tilting and height-control knobs are up front, where they're easily accessed. The fence locks both front and rear, which allows for accuracy. The 13 amp motor packs decent oomph, but this saw isn't built to continually rip 3/4-inch plywood or thick hardwoods. The saw is, however, lightweight and conveniently portable. (Admittedly, because it is lightweight, it does vibrate more than other saws.) The package also includes a miter gauge, 10-inch saw blade, standard table insert, blade wrenches, and an instruction manual. Before buying this saw, we suggest you consider the applications you're likely to use it for. If you're looking for a solid little saw for occasional home projects, this Delta will suit your needs--especially if you're going to work with softwoods, like pine and cedar. Bottom line? This saw has definite limitations--but that depends on what it's used for. For the home hobbyist in the market for a good, entry-level table saw, Delta's model can be a smart buy. --Jon Groebner
