Delta Reviews

This is not the best resaw blade I have used with the Jet 14" bandsaw, but it is also not the most expensive one I have used. For the price, it is a very good blade and the blade sharpness has held up fine cutting 6" thick oak, cherry, ash and walnut.

The 4 teeth per inch gives fast and efficient resaw speed, the blade holds the line and very little finish sanding is required. For the money, it is a decent blade.

Wonderful product. Delta known for quality does it again.

Excellent flexibility for the hobbiest woodworker. Complete flexibility to the project at hand. Curves, flat edges, beveling etc all done with ease. With 3rd party disk you can even sharpen tools. I love mine so much I bought this one for my Father-in-Law.

Well, the piece of wood is a lot cheaper, but it is nice to know that at least with this cut-off fence the edge is straight and parallel to the blade. It is also convenient since the tape measure on the fence still works, instead of having to compensate for the thickness of the piece of wood.

This is a good blade.Aggressive but not overly so.It produces a fairly clean cut and depending on what your cutting almost splinter free.It could stand to be a tad thinnerthough but, for the money and the decent results it's well worth it. Now get out there and cut some wood.

I have had this blade on my Delta compound miterbox saw for many years and just love it. It has lasted well and always gives a good, clean cut. It has stayed sharp, and I have never had any trouble with it.

I own about 18 different blades for my Unisaw includeing three Forrest blades, but in an era where the mantality of "one blade for any job" rules. It is nice to find a quality dedicated rip blade. While it won't leave as smooth an edge as say the woodworker II, you can feed it allot faster. If you've never ripped with a flat grind blade, you're missing out.

Fantastic saw, hard to assemble, took about 5 hours. Precise and accurate out of the box.

I've lusted for one of these for years. I finally got it and was eager to make that first cut after spending 8 hours assembling the saw, fence, mobile base, outfeed table and Deluxe Uniguard. I thought I'd check the blade runout, first, just to make sure....It measured .115" difference across the width of my 10" "set and sand" CMT alignment blade blank as measured from the right side miter slot. That's almost an eighth of an inch! It required loosening the table from the base, plus the trunnions from the top, to realign the blade with the miter slots. Took six hours. I'd always thought that Delta alignment "out of the box" was legendary....If this is what you get from a Premium American Manufacturer, maybe I'll go Taiwanese next time. ... Also the particle board extension table was so badly warped across the narrow dimension that I had to put (4) 1-1/2" angle iron supports under it to get it reasonably flat. Otherwise the fence would not make the transition from table to extension surface.
I still like this saw, and all of the maladies were repairable, however, I get the distinct impression that quality control has taken a back seat to production numbers. The saw still represents a great value, and with careful setup, works magnificently, however, setup took me an entire weekend overall.
The saw assembly is huge, the mobile base is an absolute necessity in my two-car woodshop...The stock guard/splitter assembly (Isn't good), the Deluxe Uniguard is the only way to go, or the pricier Biesemeyer. Everything fitted together very well.
