The Delta 36-717 Hybrid 10-Inch Left Tilt 1-3/4 Horsepower Intermediate Saw with 30-Inch Biesemeyer Fence, 2 Cast Iron Extension Wings, Table Board, and Legs, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase is not of the same quality as other Delta products. Though this Left-Tilt Hybrid Table Saw features a full cabinet design for greater stability and maximum dust collection, the overall construction is of the worst possible materials. I was pretty much disappointed by the quality of this table saw. I think this saw is made in China and comes with cheap cabinet, cheap screws.
On the positive side this is not a Unisaw! However, it has many of the excellent features and quality workmanship of the unisaw, and if you do not use it commercially in a full time cabinet shop or similar business, the saw should give you many years of good service. I am a stickler for precision, and the saw required only minor adjustments to make it very accurate. Overall this is not an excellent saw but for the starters it will do.
