Speaking of Jet and Powermatic, why shouldn t I buy one of those instead?
A. Jet and Powermatic both make very fine saws. The reason I recommend the Delta is simple. If you need a part for your 1940 Unisaw, it is most likely still in stock, and indeed, its the same part that fits the new 2008 Unisaws. Since the design has changed very little, there is a huge body of saws out there, all the same. Imagine if it were the same with cars! Also, Delta has a service network and factory support network that is second to none. Speaking from an independent distributor s point of view, I see them constantly trying to improve their product.
