Popular Post OzarkSawdust Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Well things are looking up. I picked up my new Delta 36-725T2 late yesterday. They loaded it with a forklift, and I managed to get it out of the pickup onto the shop floor without killing myself! I opened the box, took as much out as I could, and slid the rest down a set of ramps I still have. Tomorrow I'll work on putting it together as it's forecast to be above freezing.

Enjoy the new addition and sty safe. Yes! Looking forward to playing with my new toys...I mean tools. Besides the table saw I have not unboxed the new planer or jointer yet either! Snow and sub-zero set in and I don't have enough heat in the shop to mess with it. Hoping it'll stay a decent temp so the heater will keep up with it for the next couple of weeks.

Devin Wilson Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 If you're on Facebook be sure to join the Facebook Group dedicated to this saw. Just search Delta 36-725 owners and it should come up. loads of little tips and tricks about that saw. Also a guy on there sells a motor upgrade kit you could call it that fixes most of the motor problems some have with the saw. new2woodwrk, OzarkSawdust and OCtoolguy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted February 22, 2021 Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 I just watched a video on this saw Looks like you bought yourself a nice tool. The one thing he pointed out was that the saw draws a lot of power and to make sure to use it on a 20 amp circuit and if using an extension cord it should be a 12 gauge. It has a really nice fence. I look forward to your review. OzarkSawdust and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to your review. I noticed that in my searching. When I find where I use it most of the time I'll pull a separate 30amp circuit and a plug close by. That will eliminate the problems some have had. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 @OzarkSawdustcan you give us any idea of what that saw set you back? I'm wondering how many cans & bottles I'll need to save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzarkSawdust Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Yesterday I had a few minutes to get it out of the box and on it's feet...with the help of my shop assistant who was holding down the instructions LOL. Maybe I can make more progress today. Edited February 23, 2021 by OzarkSawdust Be_O_Be, new2woodwrk, Dave Monk and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzarkSawdust Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Got it together! Man...that thing is huge compared to my Kobalt jobsite saw! It looks like an aircraft carrier. I checked the electrical panel, and I already have a couple of 20amp circuits ready. Tomorrow I may check the adjustments and fire it up!
