From the Manufacturer -- The new Series 2000 Contractor's Saws take woodworking into the new millennium by improving upon a tried-and-true design. With the same heavy-duty 1-1/2-horsepower motor, rugged trunnions and blade adjusting mechanisms that woodworkers have come to depend on, this saw now has added convenience features. A fence-mounted paddle switch allows easy shutdowns, a must for emergency situations. The three-piece stand is not only easier to assemble, but has a built-in dust chute and storage for the miter gage and fence. Blade changing is simplified by a blade guard that locks up and out of the way and automatically returns to its operating position when the table insert is re-installed. A newly redesigned UniRip fence offers built-in T-slots for adding jigs and accessories and provides additional stock support in front of the table. Tabletop accessible positive stop adjustment screws make calibrating 90-degree and 45-degree positions a simple task. The 10-inch blade will cut to a maximum depth of 3-1/8 inches and the UniRip fence allows cutting 30 inches to the right of the blade and 13-1/2 inches to the left. Includes the patented Auto-Set T-slot miter gage that supports the workpiece and will not tip or fall when extended beyond the front edge of the table.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX -- Delta Industrial Model 36-444 10" Contractor's Saw includes a 1 1/2HP, 120/240V motor; two table extension wings, stand, belt and pulley guard, see-thru blade guard with splitter and anti-kickback attachment, miter gage, UniRip fence with front and rear guide bars, 10" saw blade, V-Belt, arbor, motor pulleys, and instruction manual.

Great Moderately Priced Saw! -- This is the first table saw I've bought, and I have been greatly impressed with how easy it is to produce accurate cuts with it. It takes some time to put together and set up (a few hours for me) but it is well worth the time spent. Overall, setup was not very difficult, but a little extra time spent making sure the splitter and fence line up perfectly with the saw blade pays off. Once set up, the saw works beautifully; it is easy to set the rip fence to the desired width and get a perfect cut. My first project involved ripping 1" thick cypress, and the saw went through it with no problems. The stand is designed in such a way as to act as a dust chute, funnelling the saw dust toward the rear of the machine & keeping it out of your way. The only drawback is the limitation of the rip fence to 30" to the right of the blade, but other fence systems are also available with the same saw. I definitely recommend purchasing a mobile base at the same time if you need to move it much at all. Overall, this is an excellent saw. I would definitely buy this saw again.

Great Saw!!!! -- I have owned this saw for over 2 years and have been happy with it the entire time. I use it from everything to Kitchen Cabinet Building to Childrens toys. This saw is heavy for a contractor saw so I would recommend a mobile base if you intend to move it around. The fence shipped with this saw is dead on accurate. When I first got it I would double check the widths and each time it was right on accurate. I now no longer use a tape to measure with this saw. The fence is only 30" which can be limiting at times, however any of the better fences on the market are a simple bolt on process. The blade that ships with the saw is a weak point. I switched it out with a forrest WWII and I now get glass smooth and accurate cuts. One advantage with this saw, is that you can add on to it later. Start with the standard fence and if you need more just order a better fence later. The difference between this saw and the Saw with the better fence will not save you much more than ordering the fence later. All the way around a great saw, especially for those just starting to get into woodworking.
