Clint:

Thanks for the pointer to the Workshop Buzz. I had no idea that the
Craftsman 22104/22114/22124 and the Delta 36-715/716/717 are finally
available in Canada. Woodcraft has a good article on these units at
http://www.woodcraftmagazine.com/art...px?id=6&page=1

I called my local Delta dealer today about the 36-716 (it's the one
with the 30" Unifence). Although the 36-717 was apparently available at
the show you mentioned for a mere CDN$1026, he said the best he could
do now on a 36-716 is CDN$1279. Yikes!

This weekend, the B&D purchase of Delta becomes reality. I'm hoping
this acquisition results in better deals on Delta products. During the
last year, it seems Delta has been preoccupied with corporate
restructuring, and has neglected the marketplace. Delta didn't have
much of a presence at our local woodworking show last fall, and I read
somewhere that General is now outselling Delta six to one!
