Delta10 in. Portable Contractor Table Saw

This has been great for me in my small garage shop. It takes some work to get it dialed in but has been solid ever since. The dust collection isn’t great, so plan on cleaning lots of dust below the unit.

My son has a Delta table saw I’ve enjoyed using. Researched all available portables (my garage work area is really small) but liked the Delta features and price which for me made it best value for my needs. I’ve used it now on several projects, one required a variety of pieces and many of same shape very easy to setup and get a repeatable result. Had to adlib a dado across 56 pieces without a dado blade. Took 5 passes to get 1/2” width but precision was really good. Couldn’t be happier.

Nice product! Highly recommend!!

Relatively easy set up and get working. Good dust routing port, kickback prevention and blade guard system. Terrible fence. It is not accurate. I have to use a square to make sure it's straight. The miter gauge is wobbly and not flush into the slot and writhing knife is off by a hair. That causes the charts to be choked up while pushing through. I'm almost thinking I could get better results with the cheaper Skil or Dewalt equivalent. At least I'd have a built in stand with the Skil.

4 stars because I had to hack around, undo some bolts and fabricate a shim to get the extension to close flush.Pros ...• Nothing like it under $700.• Has adjustments for fence angle, 0 and 45 degree bevel. (Just not the crooked extension.)• The fence rivals, maybe is superior to (in concept if not this implementation), the bulky, T style used by higher end Delta and SawStop (and Sawstop forces you to buy their larger 36" saw to get one). This Delta fence clamps to front & back rails which slide in unison. As long as the rails slide parallel then there is zero angular fence deviation when moved.• Accepts 3/4" dado stack• Rips to 25"Cons ...• Had to fabricate a shim to get extension to close flush.• Measuring tapes are glued on. Bubbled up on this machine. Not a deal breaker at the price I got, but a little cheesy.Neutral ...• I had to adjust all these things but at least they are adjustable.Until I'm ready for the big Delta or godhelpme, the SawStop (of which I'm starting to doubt the need), this saw gives me the rip and dado width and adjustability, i.e. precision I need right now to do some pretty good work.Photo: Am building an attached, folding outfeed table for that stand now. 36" table height. Don't like to bend down so much anymore. Works well.

I have been without a table saw for years but want to re-ignite my skills as a woodworker. This model fits my needs financially and the portability is a big plus.I received the machine earlier than expected and was happy about that.I set it up without much difficulty and made a few test cuts. I think I picked a winner.

The fence won’t work or stay in place. Impossible to use. Bought it because Delta is an American brand. Really bad mistake. This saw is garbage!

It is very accurate, I like the fence and the safety features work well. There is a lot of slop in the miter bar but I don’t use the stock one I use a cutting sled. Overall it is a great saw, accurate , and safe, I bought it to replace a harbor freight saw and it is a night and day difference. I really like this table saw.
