First post, have been lurking for a couple weeks:D
First the title question,
I am researching a saw I found on craigslist locally, a Delta 36-451. The owner claims it is a 2hp model, and didn't know what I meant by left or right tilt... so maybe not the best thing going, but can anyone tell me anything about this model, when it was produced, basic features, pros/cons???
Putting together a table saw/router table combo for the first time (not counting bench top stuff) and looking at contractor-style saw due to the scope of work, budget and available electricity.
Anyhow, already have a Biesemeyer 52" fence, just need the saw. Everyone I have talked to, friends, guys at the local WoodCraft store recommend older Delta or the other popular brands (Steel City, General, etc.) I have been looking at the 36-979.... new, left tilt, mobile base, no fence, and for around 400 @ Lowes...
Any other saws to consider since I already have the fence???
Thanks,
Andrew
