I have a DeWalt DW788 Type 1(Made in Canada) and I love it. Works like it's supposed to. Picked it up on CL with light and stand for $250.

The Delta 40-690 is being replaced by the 40-695. But at $350 new it's a sweet deal.

If the money allows it then the Excalibur(made in Taiwan) is the way to go. Hegner(Made in Germany) and RBI(Made in USA) are good, but they need to catch up to the times. Eclipse(Made in USA) is expensive and at $1500 it's a rich man's tool.
