6 customers mention0 positive6 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the scratch resistance of the saw. They mention that the black extension table scratches real easy, and the wooden extension table was damaged in shipping. The pallet was smashed up pretty good, and some card board was cuffed. The plywood laminate on the fence was busted up and arrived cracked. The fence rails were scratched up, and engineering that creates a potentially dangerous situation when ripping.

"...The fence rails were scratched up. The el-cheapo table extension suffered the most damage as the corners were busted and mushroomed up...." Read more

"...The mounting hardware to secure the tube rail to the front rail assembly was missing...." Read more

I LOVE this SAW!!!

I LOVE this SAW!!!
UPDATE 6/7/12I've been using the saw a lot and I really like it. I needed to do some modification to get fence to move side to smoothly (just a couple of washers). the dust collection works very well. If your using the saw hard do ripping 30 or 40 piece 4/4 or 5/4 I hit my knee on something here the lock nut on the hit adjustment got loose enough to slide all the way out. So if you've got a big cut job just make sure the lock nut is snug. No other issues or concerns! I almost forget that Delta still hasn't sent me the $300 Rebate if purchased before 21/31/11. I did call once and CSR made me feel bad for calling because they were so back up processing all the rebates. she assured me that the end of April at the latest. So can I call again? I'm sure all the Delta employees who comment before will let me know!Happy Day!!RandallR. Paradis, D. Kennedy, George P. Burdell & fish thanks for reminding me to update my review of the DELTA 36-L352 3 HP 10-Inch Unisaw with 52-Inch Biesemeyer Fence System! I absolutely LOVE this saw!Happy Day!RandallP.S. So here's the deal the table saw is the heart of a wood shop. I've been researching and dreaming about a new cabinet table saw for two or three years. Do I need the 5hp or is 3hp enough. My shops not huge 24' x 32' so a mobile base would be nice. One more piece of background my wood shop is about 70 miles from my home at our weekend get away place. So here's my problem I love Amazon I use them all the time! But in this case they are wrong! If you order the DELTA 36-L352 3 HP 10-Inch Unisaw with 52-Inch Biesemeyer Fence System and the base DELTA 50-289 Mobile Machine Base for Unisaw with 52-Inch Unifence as it packaged on the Amazon website you'll end up disappointed! This is the WRONG BASE FOR THE UNISAW! It's a great solid base by Delta but it's too small. So the base arrives one to two weeks before the table saw and open the box setup the base and wait. Your so excited when you get the call from the shipper about the saw! The delivery guy was awesome he offer to back all the back my driveway (about a 1/4 mile). I had my son and a B3200 Kubota tractor with the pallet forks a little nervous since the saw weights about 670lbs. No problems with the load got it the shop and started unpacking. It's 5 boxes we opened the saw box and started removing the lag screws. Arranged the mobile base and lifted the saw unto the base. HUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM! I called Delta and the correct base for the saw is the 50-257 not the 50-289. Both Amazon customer care people were great. I had to call twice because I forgot I saved the original box for the base. So I disassembled the wrong base repacked it in it's original box and set on the porch for pickup. I than ordered the correct base from Amazon. Now I admit, I did called every Woodcraft Store and asked if they had the correct base in stock first! So my son packed our food and we headed home. That was yesterday I'm back at work in my office typing this today Friday the 16 of December 2011. Hope this saves another wood worker the disappointment of the WRONG BASE! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!
