The common conception is that the Delta trunions problems were from
mishandling.

Food for thought, all other manufacturers shipped their TS's just like Delta
did, have you heard of any other manufacturer having broken trunion
problems? *I have not.

Regardless of what caused the broken trunions there are numerous reports of
broken trunions on Unisaws here on the rec in the past 10 years. *When I was
shopping for a new TS 10 years ago I compared a Unisaw and Jet cabinet saw
side by side. *The Unisaw showed no apparent damage however the store
manager warned me to not try to raise, lower, or tilt the blade as the saw
had a broken trunion and the parts were apparently on BO. *Because I was
already aware of the trunion problem and was then seeing it first hand, I
decided to go with the Jet.

Isolated incident.....never heard of any major numbers with broken
trunnion..sort of the story that I know a guy that knows a guy that
heard about.......I also sold Jet....does not compare to a Unisaw for
fit and finish and holding its value sorry!
