Over the years I have seen a number of Unisaws...both old and new.

I have also heard a number of owners tell me why their saw was better
than the other.

Now I have the possibility to buy an Unisaw and have the opportunity to
buy either a newer or older saw locally...so now it's time to sort
through the truth from the hype.

Which would you choose...older or newer, why and what would you pay for
them?

Finally if you were checking out an used Unisaw, what would you check?

Thanks

This problem was an incorrect torqueing procedure at
the factory according to Delta.



Absolutley not true and I don't know why you keep posting this
garbage, every time the subject comes up. Please tell me who
"according to Delta". It might add credibility to your claim.

This went on for several years before Delta
quit blaming the shipping company and admitted responsibility.


Absolutely not true. Broken trunnions the result of a specific knock
down by either the shipping companies (multiple, Delta used many), or
in some cases I'm sure, a tip over in the distribution center after it
was moved from Memphis to Jackson, TN. I watched many trunions
broken as we tried to purposely break them by trying every type of
drop and tipover possible.


When I was in the market 6 or 7 years ago I compared Jet directly to Delta
side by side. I bought the Jet.


If you preferred the Jet saw that is fine. That's why there are
choices. But don't post lies about the other choices.
