Lucky2 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Jerry, how much use has the saw seen? How old is the saw, does it still have a warranty? Are you mechanically inclined? What I mean, is can you take something apart and put it back together properly? Have you removed the side panel, to check out the connection points and bearings? And one last question, do you still own a owners manual? Len LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukem Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'm just gonna take it back to home depot and let them take care of it. I've only had for around a month so not that old but has seen lots of use. Jerry Lucky2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye10 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Jerry from what I have read and folks I have talked to Delta is junk. Sorry to be so blunt. I would take it back and get your money back then look for a good quality table saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry1939 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Jerry from what I have read and folks I have talked to Delta is junk. Sorry to be so blunt. I would take it back and get your money back then look for a good quality table saw. If you look at the schematic for the Delta and the Dewalt 788, they are identical. Only the price and colors are different. I bought a Delta 3 years ago. Took it out of the box, started it to make sure it was OK and took apart the brand new saw and greased it. Now grease it once a year and it purrs like a kitten. Another very recent post indicates that they both take the same replacement bearings. Would speculate that your saw is like a few different brands that have only a minimal amount of grease applied at the factory. If you were to change to some of the other brands, you could very well have the same problem. jerry Edited November 16, 2016 by jerry1939 amazingkevin and DukeNukem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjweb Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Did you order the same saw, if so maybe you should follow advice and grease it up before using, if you are comfortable doing that, good luck with the new saw, RJ I just saw at grizzly they have the Dewalt 788 saw with stand and light for 499.95 Edited November 17, 2016 by rjweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Delta makes a good saw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That said, I own two Delta's and they work well. Like any machines that have bearings, they do need to be greased. I try to do maintenance once a year and 'ALL IS WELL' with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukem Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Okay here's the deal I got a new saw on Friday and ended up taking it back on Sunday, it started vibrating and making a sound like metal to metal I'm not sure if I got the only two saw that were bad but I'm not gonna get another delta. I think being the same as the Dewalt I'm not even sure if I would want one of those either, does this company take all there unusable parts and put them in the Delta I'm not sure but it does seem like it anyway just venting not sure when I'll get another saw kinda disappointed after feeling so good about getting back into it.

DukeNukem Posted November 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Okay I made the decision to try the Dewalt if this saw does not stand up to the work I put it through I will not be getting another saw until I can afford the Excalibur, with that said I might just get back into wood turning lol.
