Delta Reviews

This faucet is very high quality (it weighs a ton). But it would take a really large kitchen to not seem HUGE! We had to exchange it for something more modest. Be aware that Faucet.com makes you wait for a return authorization, (which took over a week to get the email from them) before you can ship something back for exchange. Not happy about that at all, as our kitchen is now on hold. Finding a faucet you like is a pain because it is VERY hard to find many faucets on display anywhere to look at.

I absolutely love this faucet. Have had it now for 5 months, I disagree with the other reviewer, your kitchen doesn't have to be huge for this faucet to look nice. My kitchen is rather small and this faucet is perfect. The swivel head is great and the spray vs stream is great too. The guy at home depot suggested "Delta" as the brand to get as you can get any parts at any hardware store, some other brands you have to special order. I looked high and low for a faucet, it is hard to find display models to look at. I am very pleased with this faucet.

Perhaps because this unit was reconditioned, it came with a photo copied manual. Which means that the installation instructions consist of directions to place one blurry gray fuzzball on to another. It isn't particularly hard assuming you are mechanical, but a few orientations are tricky and it would be nice to be able to see what the parts are instead of guessing. Also, the 90 degree stop was broken off on my unit. Delta is sending me a replacement, although since the unit didn't come with the parts list, it was hard to describe what I needed to the customer service group at delta. Aligning the fence to 90 degrees is a little bit tricky since the fence moves slightly as you tighten, but it is a good unit once you start to use it. very easy to adjust depth and speed. the ejection port isn't a standard dust collector size, so i did a little custom work to fit a 4" chute on to it, but that wasn't too bad. Sometimes i do regret only having a 6" surface, but it isn't a bad way to start with a jointer.

I Rec'd The Bench Jointer Today And Was Really Pleased When I Got It Out Of The Box And It Looked Like A New One Instead Of Factory Re-Conditioned-Also It Works As Well As A New One At A Fraction Of The Cost-Loaded With Features Of A Lot More Expensive Brands-Well Pleased.

We just finished a custom trim job for one of our customers. This job has a 10,000.00 trim up-grade package. We custom made much of the trim and used several of these cutters. They worked wonderful in the hardwoods but did dull under the heavy usage faster than we would have liked. I like the Delta tools.

IF you have ever used the cheapo bits supplied "free" when you get your hollow chisel mortiser, you will appreciate the difference with the Delta bits. They are made in Austria ( a way to easily identify them.) they are sharp and hold their edge significantly better than the cheapos. The square part is especially strong, as the corners seemingly are made very strong to keep their edge / points. I heartliy recommend that when you get frustrated at teh quallity of your cheapo bits, you get a set of these... great products....

This mortising chisel and bit is finely crafted in Austria and although expensive, it is worth every penny. I have built several beautiful pieces of furniture without incident.Both pieces are of such high quality, that with proper care and sharpening, they can last for years. I would have given it five stars except for the price. (Amazon's price is on par with any hardware or other internet tool store.)

I also found this planer for a very good price, and 24 inch capicty is useful, and a great time saver because it allows you to plane 2 or more boards at once. I just wish there were more speed rates like on the powermatics, but it is good and for the price supurb. Its a very solid tool with plenty of power and well worth is especialy for rough stock, and also saves alot of money.

I bought this wire wheel to replace the medium wheel on my GR 150 grinder.Perfect for cleaning the threads on manifold bolts and removing rust off of tools.Make sure you use the right arbor.Causes a little vibration at first,but it goes away with use.Nothing I can't live with.

This grinder is a great addition to your workshop. Although I don't use it very often, it is a nice unit. The goosneck light is very handy, and provides the perfect amount of light to the right places. It is a little pricey compared to the off brands (a casual user like me would probably be fine with an "off brand" like "tool shop" or one of the other bargain brands. After all, I don't even know how to use it yet! I tried to sharpen a lawnmower blade and had less than stellar results. I didn't have a problem fitting the blade on the unit- there is room for long pieces- my problem was with technique. Maybe Amazon sells a book on "Zen and the art of grinding?" Seriously- if you know how to use a grinder and want to get a nice unit- this is it, but I haven't found any jigs yet that I can use that will fit the table.

This is a great grinder for the beginner. It is a Bench Grinder that does not use up your bench space. It has it's own stand, which is included. It is very good for most jobs around the shop. Quality is typical of most far east imports. Assembly was very easy. Hardware parts were very oily. If you plan on doing heavy grinding you might consider the 1/2 HP 8" grinder instead. For the price. I like it. First thing I did: used the built in drill guide to sharpen some drill bits. It worked.

This grinder runs smoothly and quietly, quickly getting up to full rotational speed. Installing and adjusting the tool rests and protective shields was fairly easy, although the shields seemed a little flimsy. The integrated lamp I find of limited use when the work area is already well-lit, and some folks may find it to be in the way if they choose not to use it.
