I have an old delta with the over head bearing, one hell of a machine. Any
of the new delta machines I have seen are china made, I looked at one of
those $300.00 Ridgit machines in Home Depot, I would rather have my 40 year
old delta.

I would rather have your old Delta too, but for those of us still out
a DP the Rigid at Home Depot was given a second best in some
woodworking book I read awhile back. And about a hundred bucks less.
