I was given a Delta 36-465 contractor's saw by my father in law. He had a shop of delta stuff and when he heard that I was starting to build some woodworking pieces for the house he sent it all my way.
The saw hasn't been used that much and is still in good shape. A bit of rust on the table, but a bit of elbow grease should clean that up. The fence is the stock one and the wings are stamped.
So what mods or add-ons should I be looking at?
-dust collection?
-PALS?
-new fence?
-link belt? (how long?)
-machined pullys? (do they really make a difference?)
-miter gauge?
I've already got a couple decent blades from my jobsite saw that I've been using. I'd like to buy as many things from Grizzly as possible. They are real close and the guys always treat me right, so I'm partial to them. But that isn't set in stone and I know that grizzly isn't going to have a lot of the stuff that I might be looking for. It's just one of those "If I can do it I will".
The saw has this kind of base with the slanted "dust ramp" or whatever it's called, though it doesn't have the long fence rails, nice fence, or table legs like the photo.
