    John,

    Have to disagree a bit here:

    General is great.

    PM is pretty good, but I have a feeling it's a company in decline.

    As for Delta...

    For any of the big items -- TS, BS, Jointer -- dollar for dollar I'll take Griz over Delta any day.

    For that matter, I'll put my G0555 Ultimate Bandsaw up against any other bandsaw on the planet that can boast of a 12" resaw capacity, ball-bearing blade guides, blade tension release lever, a minimum of 1HP motor, and a price under $500, (okay, $550 now).

    OOPS! I forgot. There IS no other saw in that category!

    condition where the size of his public is almost in
    inverse proportion to the quality of his work."
    (James Krenov, A Cabinetmaker's Notebook, 1976.)

    I guess my public must be pretty huge then.

    Q: Do you know why Griz tools are all green?
    A: Because that's the color of all the money I've sent them over the years.

    That catalog is just too tempting for a man who is as weak of will power as me.
