Great skill saw. Easy blade changes, accurate and powerful.

Corner stone of the shop. Enough power without a dedicated circuit. Expandable as needs change. Looking to trick it out with an Incra fence and sled

Pretty much does what it says. I used it also as a jointer before I bought a dedicated Jet Jointer. No complaints so far.

Added this last year to make panel glue ups much better. Combined with the Dewalt planner makes a great duo!

Great piece of equipment. I use this all the time. No more drawing lines with the square. Mark it, place it, cut it. Dead on square and aligned out of the box. Other than the table saw, the next key component in a wood shop.

I've only used it a couple of times but... this is the first time I made dovetails and within 30 minutes of setup and practice I made my first draw. Beginnners luck or good product...you decide.

Use this for "interactive" routing. Now that I own a Bosch Router for my table rouer I prefer the Bosch. Buuuuutttt...this router does the job.
DELTA 17-950L 16.5-Inch TwinLaser Crosshair Drill PressDELTA 17-950L 16.5-Inch TwinLaser Crosshair Drill Press
Buy new: $625.88
I bought this at home depot largely to avoid a $100+ shipping charge when the thing was sitting 20 miles from my house. Otherwise I would have purchased the 950 to so I could add the mortise attachement. The drill press alone though is awesome. Easy to assembly, and accurate. Lasers constantly need adjustment, but that makes sense. Great machine though

Buy new: $535.08
This is the one dissapointment. I purchased this to make large cross cuts easier. It arrived on time, undamaged and went together easy. Set up was easy enough. I just didn't realize I would have to set it up everytime I use it. Even then the table won't track parrallel. Dont' but this instead buy an Incra Miter Sled. Half the cost, faster install, more accurate cuts.

Sweeeeeeeeeetta. Nice cross cuts. Not as smooth as the sliding table but close enough, much less cost, and far more accurate. Now to just upgrade to an Incra LS Fence!!!
