Default Surprising Review - Chinese Delta 14" Bandsaw 28-206/276

Dan Parrell thus spake:

Hmmm I don't think so and why are you now only giving the model number


Model numbers are quite prominently displayed in the subject line...

Hmmmm me thinks you didn't bother to check the prices in Canada


Nope, wouldn't want to send any more money to you Canucks, eh?
Besides, I bought a Ford that was assembled there - and among other
things, they even put the seat belt buckles in backwards. ;-)

KC-1433FX - 629.00 + shipping.
Looks more like a Grizzly or an OLD Delta to me.
How does that equate to $310??
Besides, there are benefits in buying locally from my neighbors.
One of these would be Instant Gratification - you know how impulsive
we Yanks are.

BTW King and Delta are the same company.With the exchange rate it's roughly
450 USD's without the tweaking and fu#king around.see the URL

Not the same company at all - I believe King buys Delta's old worn-out
foundry setups and sells machinery similar to Delta's OLD products.
Notice the plastic 2 1/2" dust port, for example.
I COULD have bought a Grizzly G0555 for $374 + shipping, but I didn't.
Besides, the fu#king around took all of 1 hour - Big Deal. Other than
a lower wheel that was probably bent in transit, I did nothing that I
wouldn't have had to do to ANY Chiwanese saw.

That's just one place and it is more expensive where i live.
You still could have had it bought and shipped for less.Before I go back on
the porch, kiss my pink ass.


I scanned the web with that model number - old design, and an
unspecified HP motor (10amp) that could be worse than what I've got!
And does it have a TWO year warranty? Standardized parts? Universal
motor mount design?

Talk about a pig in a poke, I've never even SEEN a King, and shipping
another turd back to the great White North for another $120 wasn't in
the stars.

As far as your ass goes, I'll pass. Dude, it was a joke! I'm revving
you up. But by the same token, don't throw rocks at others decisions.
