Delta Platinum Edition Unisaw 10" Tilting Arbor Saw 36-957

Pros: all pros
Cons: well.....Maybe longer power cord. I can always replace it, but have not yet.

The table saw is the most used tool in my shop, and that's why I put allot of thought into this investment. My review on this saw is all positive. The assembly was straight forward, and the manual was very informative in the way the saw went together. ...

Pros: The Cabinet Saw all others are judged against.
Cons: I'd like a better guard.

Anyone in the market for a cabinet saw knows about the Unisaw. It's been out there for decades. Every kid taking a high school shop class has probably used it.

Thankfully, Delta has preserved and improved this fine product over the years. It's...

Pros: Powerful, accurate, well made, fantastic fence. A lifetime saw.
Cons: None

Purchased a '98 model, brand new and have had zero problems. Fit, finish, & reliability have been top notch. All North American made components, and the important cast iron and steel bits appear to be properly heat treated. 3Hp Emerson always runs ...

Pros: rock solid
Cons: none

I have the 3hp Unisaw with 30" Biesemer fence. I've had this for about 6 years now, so some of the specs may have changed.

The machine itself is rock solid. The motor (an industrial-grade Emerson with cap. start) starts with authority and essentially never bogs down (not sure why the 5hp option would ever be necessary myself...). Blade elevation and tilt are smooth and precise. The fence is sweet...east to adjust and super stiff. The miter gage is, of course, lame...I'd get an Incra to upgrade.

First rate...why buy a Chinese copy when you can still get the original?
