I had more problems with the saw than I have patience to write about.
YES, it was a POS. In a nutshell, defective base, unresolved vibration,
lousy guide system, no light, no blower, flimsy and useless dustport, no
quick release, AND it cost me MORE than the Powermatic! It was a
no-brainer to return it. The Powermatic was a few months away from
production when I got the Delta, so I was w/o a BS for a little while
longer. But, boy, was it worth the wait!

Blades? Doesn't matter, I've used a variety of blades, and some of the
same blades on both saws. The Powermatic is hands-down a more
enjoyable, quiet, accurate saw. Tracking is superb for either narrow or
wider blades. I use Olsen AllPro's and Olsen regular blades. I know
there are better blades out there, but they work FINE for me.

1.5 HP, each.

I can see you are a skeptic. That's because you haven't used both saws.

Is your Powermatic the same horsepower as the delta you had?
