Delta - Delta 36-717 Hybrid Tablesaw
The Delta 36-717 includes a 14-in.-wide side table with support legs
Dec 01, 2007
The Delta 36-717 includes a 14-in.-wide side table with support legs. It showed fair parallelism in our tests. I tested blade-to-slot parallelism (parallel test) and the machine showed 0.008-in. (at 0º) and 0.008-in. (difference @ 45º). It needed a simple trunnion adjustment to fix this. The procedure is covered in the manual. The tablesaw has good cutting power and its miter gauge is especially sturdy and comfortable. I also checked arbor runout (measured at the face of the arbor-flange) and it had 0.001-in.

Ridgid R4331 Planer
Priced nearly $300 less than the DeWalt 735X, the Ridgid R4331 is an excellent value. Its three-knife cutterhead left wonderfully clean surfaces on plainsawn white oak and white pine. It did not perform nearly as well on curly maple as the 735X.
Starrett 12-in. combination square
This accurate, robust, well-machined, easy-to-read combo square is as great as ever.

A high quality, staple blade for your table saw. With 48 teeth, it is suitable for both ripping and crosscutting.
