$85 Delta 34-183

I have the Delta. When a received it, the bar for the slot was slightly
warped and required some filing to make it fit, but from what I have
seen and heard this does not sound typical. It works well enough,
although I have some quibbles; for example, the clamp position range
doesn't always work out so well.

I have found that it is less useful *to me* the I might have thought
originally. Unless you are making an awful lot of tenons which are
destined for highly-repeatable machine-made mortises, the effort to set
it up, etc. is more then I have found worth the effort, when a band saw
(or handsaw for that matter) and an plane/chisel can make perfect
fitting tenons with relative ease, at least in smallish quantities.
