Are Delta table saws good? I am asking because I do not have any experience with that brand and someone is selling one for $60. I have asked for more details but have yet to hear back. This is a link to the site.
I know the hybrid saws from Delta are pretty good and the Unisaw is supposedly really good. I am not sure about the jobsite saws from Delta.
I would say that it’s probably a pretty good buy. It’s old and will probably need to be lubed but it should get the job done well for $60. It’s probably a late 90s early 00s model. I’m a little hesitant on the table design and it’s missing the splitter and guard (like most used ones will from that era).
I’m not a fan on that switch, I would definitely change that to a bump style (where you can bump it off quickly with your hip or hand). The guard isn’t a big deal but the splitter is really nice to have. The fence is decent for that era, a lot of those didn’t have a lip that overhung on the backside, they simply attached with the screw on the front…not exactly the best way to make sure the fence is straight.
