This is tantamount to allowing yourself to be pulled off topic.

Greg, you have knowledge and experience that allows you to articulate some great info on the new Delta Unisaws, very useful. I’m following your posts with interest. Stay on topic, bud, let the chaff fall to the side.

You can (and should) have the self adhesive measurement tape replaced, as well as the saw blade. Call Delta at 1-(800) 223-7278, tell them you just got a Unisaw and what you need, and they will UPS you new parts, no questions asked. Note: if you have the 3/4-in wide self-adhesive measurement tape, it does not appear in their parts list. Ask for part number 79-067 (3/4-in, 6-ft length, English/metric). Remove the old tape and install/cut the new one. And yes, anyone can do a cleaner cut on the end of that tape than Delta does.
