yes, but I avoid mentioning it for fear of not getting into
my flame retardant suit quickly enough to avoid the flames!
My current BS is a Powermatic, which I really like a
lot. (But I bet you already knew that, huh?)

Hey Dave, You and I have the same DP. I like my 965 also, good
price, good quality (for a Chinese machine), and it just feels like a
solid unit.

how much you wanna spend? I've got a floor model Delta that suits
me fine. 17-965. plenty of quill travel and adequate quality. much
nicer of a DP than the Delta 14 BS.

glad you like yours too, Mark. It's one of only 3 pieces of Delta
gear I have. Unisaw, sander, and the DP. Other Delta equipment has
let me down. I won't mention exactly what, or you'll see 16 guys
whining that I'm bringing up old news.
Here's a hint: the tools rhymes with "grandpa".
