Delta - Delta 36-717 Hybrid Tablesaw
The Delta 36-717 includes a 14-in.-wide side table with support legs
Dec 01, 2007
The Delta 36-717 includes a 14-in.-wide side table with support legs. It showed fair parallelism in our tests. I tested blade-to-slot parallelism (parallel test) and the machine showed 0.008-in. (at 0º) and 0.008-in. (difference @ 45º). It needed a simple trunnion adjustment to fix this. The procedure is covered in the manual. The tablesaw has good cutting power and its miter gauge is especially sturdy and comfortable. I also checked arbor runout (measured at the face of the arbor-flange) and it had 0.001-in.

DeWalt 735X Planer
At high speed, the planer works fast and leaves a smooth surface. But the slower, finish speed produces an almost glass-smooth surface. Knife changes are easy.
JessEm Mite-R Excel II Miter Gauge
The gauge has a quick and easy method for fitting the guide bar precisely to your tablesaw’s miter slot. This means the gauge can be recalibrated if necessary for continued accuracy. The face of the protractor head can be adjusted square to the table and also square to the guide bar. This ensures accurate cuts, and it, too, can be readjusted if the need arises. The protractor head has stainless-steel knobs and fittings and high-contrast, easy-to-read white numbers and increments.
