I've had the Delta for a little over a year and have had real good results
with it. I've also used the Performax quite a bit since my Father in Law
has one and it too performs very well. The main reason I bought the Delta
was I found it a for a little less when I was ready to purchase and have
several other delta tools. One suggestion on the delta is to keep the
threaded rods that raise and lower the table well lubricated and clean
otherwise its impossible to crank the table up or down. As was mentioned in
earlier posts I agree that you can't remove as much material with the
performax in fact my Father in law tends to be a little too agressive with
it and kept tripping the breaker on the machine. After doing this numerous
times he had to replace the breaker since it quit working.

I also like the extra width on the delta although the majority of the work
that I do falls under 18" but frequently over 16".
