Woot - Delta is here and setup - but...

Got the saw late today and set it up - it was fairly easy, not sure about the table level though - no instructions.

Also the blower tube was broke! Hopefully I can get a replacement tube for it - they're probably closed over the weekend of course

One thing about this saw is it is HUGE! Easily twice as big as the Wen

We're off to scroll practice ;)

The whole tube broke? or just a few of the sections? I took mine apart when I got my DeWalt as the hose was too long for my liking and kept getting in my way.. I took a few of the links out to shorten it up some.. Those come apart ( hard but they do ) and when trying to reconnect.. then it's easier to have them heated up so they have a little more flexibility.. Just run them under hot water for a few minutes and sometimes helps if the water is a little soapy so they slip together easier... though it does also make it harder to hold onto :lol:

Enjoy making some sawdust :)

Only one broke - the first one that attaches

I'll try your solution today - need to set up some dust control as there is ZERO! LOL

Very pretty!! Going to be my next purchase!!!

@lew - this thing is gorgeous! But I warn you, if you have a small shop like I do (1 side of a 2 car garage) you probably want to make sure you have room for it first!

If you look at the picture, my work bench is 8' x 3' and it covers a significant part of my bench - so much so, I may have to bring in one of my other work benches for more layout space LOL

I think I can fit one more small work bench in the shop, but if I do, I don't think I'll have room for a planer :( which should be my last big purchase for awhile
