In short. What's wrong with the delta and craftsman pro and why buy the bosch
or dewalt?

I can't speak to the Delta but the top of the line Craftsman are decent
saws. I have a 12" and I'm happy with it. After reading here, I went to
Lowes and compared deflection on the $600 Dewalt with my $300 Craftsman and
there is no appreciable difference. Both saws will flex if you place
tangential pressure on the handle.

The most important thing of all is to set the saw up PRECISELY square in
every direction. This is not easy to do but is important. I use drafting
squares and a dial indicator.
