Does anyone else get the impression that Greg is like the guy who just
bought the V8 Mustang and is expecting Formula 1?

Yep.

I sure hope he never buys anything I build. I'm sure it wouldn't pass
muster. I bet Powermatic is glad he bought Delta.

I bought a reconditioned Unisaw a couple of years ago. Noticed some of
the same imperfections he mentioned. Figured that's part of what I
traded off when I paid approximately half the price of a new
Powermatic. I sure didn't let it take away the enjoyment I get every
time I run a board across it. I have no idea how flat my top is. But
I'm sure it's flatter than any board in my shop. It cuts wood like a
dream. That's what I bought it for.

one anymore." - Mark Twain
