Hello Everybody,
I've spent the past week or so looking around this forum and admiring many of you fine projects. This has only confirmed for me that I would like to get started in woodworking. I've been researching table saws and have narrowed my list to the Delta 36-680 or the Jet 708304K. This weekend I was able to run around town looking at different saws and in one store I was able to see these two saws side by side. I went in looking for the Delta, however the salesman seemed less than thrilled with the Delta and commented that the jet was a better quality product. Other than telling me that the Jet cost about $230 more than the Delta he didn't explain why the jet was worth the extra money. Could some of you please shed some light on this issue? Is the Jet worth an extra $230? Also, would either of these saws be a good starting point for a beginner that would serve them well for several years?
Thanks,
Keith
