Editorial Review:
Includes 10" Unisaw® - 36-831LA, 3 HP, 230 Volt, 60 Hz, 3,450 RPM Single Phase Motor w/ Full Voltage Magnetic Starter, TEFC Motor, Equipment Mounting Hooks, See-Through Blade Guard, 10" Diameter Blade, Miter Gauge, Table Insert, Set of Three Matching V-Belts, Dust Port for 4" Collection Hose, Biesemeyer®, 30" Commercial Fence w/ Extra Set of Extension Legs, Cast-Iron Wing, Laminated Extension Table.
From the first time you hit the push-button magnetic starter, you'll wonder why you waited. It's quality from top to bottom, and you never get anything less than absolute accuracy, both from the saw and its 30-inch Biesemeyer fence.
The table is beautifully machined cast iron, and with its left extension wing and top-notch laminate extension table, it measures 54 inches wide by 27 inches deep, and it gives you a just over a foot in front of the blade. The T-slots are smooth and free of burrs, and the Auto-Set miter gauge rides the slots without the slightest bit of slop.
There's zero vibration - nada, nothing, zip - and that's in part because of the three-belt V-drive that transfers all the motor's power to the blade. It's a lot quieter than we expected, too, and just runs like a dream. Closed-cabinet saws don't spew a lot of dust into the air, and this one's no exception. The 4-inch dust port lets you connect your dust-collection system to the cabinet, efficiently pulling waste away from you.
The Biesemeyer fence on this saw is the perfect match for it: It glides as if on air, giving you precision every time. The three-point locking system assures you of accuracy and parallelism to the blade, and the hairline cursor works with the integrated steel tap so you never have to use your measuring tape to check the fence again. It's built to last of 9-ply Finnish birch and high-impact laminates that Biesemeyer hand-fits to the angle iron and tubing. You just can't get a better fence for a saw of this caliber.
Assembly is a bit of a physical challenge: Give yourself a good three hours, and make sure you've got strong friends or coworkers to lend a hand. Once put together, though, you'll likely never have to do any work on this saw again. It's a beauty.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Excellent choice for the serious woodworker:
Like most folks who post these reviews, I too spent quite a while researching my table saw purchase. For the longest time, I was determined to buy the Grizzly. In the end, the free shipping tipped the scales in favor of the Delta. I echo the other reviewer's comments about the quality of this machine. Packing, fit, finish, and ease of assembly were all first class. The saw was missing the two legs that support the extension table. Different models/configurations come with legs, some don't. The box is... more info
Good Tool With a Good Foot Print:
I wanted a good table saw with better good collection, and a good fence. Like all of you, I looked in the woodworking magazines, reviews on Amazon.com, talked to my friends and looked at saws in the store. I chose this one. Also I have one car space of my garage for woodworking. Mostly I don't make wide rips, so a 30" rip capability meets my needs. I purchased the saw from Amazon. I picked it up at the ABS freight terminal. Unloading this beast was not the chore I thought it would be. I used two 8'... more info
Shoulda bought it sooner:
I bought this saw as a replacement for my Powermatic 63 after I couldn't get replacement parts from Powermatic since the saw is no longer made. I looked at the Grizzly and the Shop Fox but given my Powermatic 63 parts experience I didn't want to go through that again and with free shipping on the Unisaw the price difference wasn't as big anymore. Why not get the original and skip the potential headaches? The first unisaw was made in the late 1930's and parts for most of the versions can be had with minimal... more info
