Thread: Table saw Mods?

  1. #46
    Still shopping.
    I saw this Delta 36-6020 on Lowes site
    https://www.lowes.com/pd/DELTA-6000-...-Saw/999911217

    Not a lot of reviews but it's $180 cheaper than than the Delta 725 yet still has a 30" rip capacity.

    Still checking Craigslist, but this one may get added to the consideration list along with the Delta 725 and Dewalt DW 7491S.

    As always, I appreciate any input

    LF--looks like an imported toy.

    LOL.
    Aren't they all imported?

    I'm trying to figure out the difference between this and the Dewalt

    I may have found one answer.
    The 36-6020 doesn't take dado blades

    Larry,

    I had the Dewalt for a while, and the miter slots drove me nuts. They are (advertised as) standard 3/4 x 3/8" slots, but they are not consistently wide along their length. They're also a pretty "fat" 3/4".

    I used an Incra miter sled with mine, which helped a lot with the small infeed distance problem. Gave me several more inches of surface to line up the cut. BUT, the inconsistent miter slot width made it next to impossible to adjust the miter bar on the sled so that it worked correctly. Very frustrating.

    Other than that, I think it's a pretty good jobsite-type saw.

    Nick, thanks for that info.
    Someone else mentioned it above.

    It's hard to make a decision.
    What you pointed out is important

    The Delta has 20% bad reviews on the Lowes site while the Dewalt has 8%.
