Default The new Delta?

For what ever reason, Delta is not what it used to be, not even compared
to two years ago.

Bought and sold again one year ago and is now owned by Chang Type
Industrial Co. Delta completely moved its facility, hired new staff,
and retooled. Their goal last year was to build 300 Unisaws 6 months
after being sold and moved. This might explain why parts were hard to
come by last year and why you seldom see a new Unisaw, that is an
average of one new Unisaw per state per month.

Delta is not a giant any more.
The new U.S. office headquarters and manufacturing facility in Anderson
NC is only 56,000 sq feet. The offices will take up 6,000 sq feet. The
fabrication and manufacturing takes place in a building that that would
fit on a 200'x 250' rectangle.


The good news is that the Unisaw is being built in the US and those
machines that were being built in the old facility will be built in the
new facility.
