  • This is a 1 year review on the Delta 36-725T2 Table Saw. This is a great table saw for beginner and intermediate woodworkers or just a hobbyist. I love this saw and have used almost every day for over a year. It has an excellent fence the saw moves with ease with a foot pedal.

    I have same saw . Motor did go out after year and half. Saw has 5 year warranty .Contacted Delta they replaced motor no problem you do need your receipt. They sent detailed instruction on how to replace motor. I installed motor. Back working again. Run saw on at least 20 amp breaker by itself. Great saw for the price

    Not sure if it’s been suggested yet. But for those rip cuts that shut the saw off, you’ve got a high tooth count blade in there. That’s better for cross cutting. Maybe a ripping blade with deeper gullets will put less strain on the saw? Just an idea.

    • @brandonhoffman4712
      @brandonhoffman4712 Před 5 měsíci

      Definetly worth testing.
      Crosscut blades have 3 blade profiles so they need lots of teeth. 2 to cut the sides and the third is to pull a clean chip out.
      Rip blades have 1 profile. To clear the chip out. Rip blades don't need to pre cut the wood grain. Due to the grain direction a Rip blade can get clean cuts with only square teeth.
      The nuances of different blades are much more than one would think. I always wondered why they have aluminum blades with slightly more teeth that a finish cross cut. The reason is just as much tooth shape as much as spacing.

      The thing I love most about this saw. Is it should work with incra's crazy precise saw fence, which can also move onto a new saw when it's time to upgrade.
      Though somone did make robotic one that you can just type in your measurements. It even finds 0 itself by touching the blade and feeling the resistance.

    I had the same problem with my sliding tablesaw running on 240V. Using a rip blade when ripping hardwoods solved the problem. Rip blades have a tendency to make a somewhat rougher edge, so you will need to dress the edge with a jointer.

    • @yellowhammerwoodcrafts
      @yellowhammerwoodcrafts  Před 5 měsíci

      Thanks. I bought a really good blade and it helped a lot

    • @brandonhoffman4712
      @brandonhoffman4712 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Ya crosscut blades have 3 tooth profiles. 2 of them are to cleanly cut the sides. One is a flat chip breaker tooth.
      Rip blades have 1 profile. Flat chip breaker teeth. That's why they cut rougher, it causes some tear out. They also take deeper cuts because of less teeth which adds to the roughness as well.
      You can do a 2nd pass with a fine crosscut blade, taking half a blade width. Should render a glueable surface, though a jointer would have better workflow and precision.

    I know im late to the party, but put on a 24 tooth rip blade for those longer rip cuts on hardwoods to help with the power lose. that 80 tooth is more for cross cuts over a short distance where the likelyhood to bog down is less.

  • @jonhickman23
    @jonhickman23 Před 7 měsíci +1

    FEEL FREE TO FACT CHECK ME, I'M NOT AN EXPERT. MY SUGGESTION: Check your voltage coming from the wall. Lower voltages = higher amps and the reason you're saw is stopping is due to overloads. I don't know if this will help, but maybe if you try to run hardwoods without your dust collector being turned on. That may help with voltage drops from your home while you're cutting through the harder woods. That's where I would start if it were me. If you for some reason are getting anything less than 110V from the wall, I'd investigate that and see A) what's causing that and B) where you can get a full 115-120V from your home.

    • @yellowhammerwoodcrafts

      A good blade helped and not pushing it through too fast

    • @brandonhoffman4712
      @brandonhoffman4712 Před 5 měsíci

      Having a vacuum running when you turn a saw on won't effect voltage drop.
      Voltage drop isn't actually a drop. It's a bounce. When something electric is turned on. It causes voltage drop to occur for a split second, then the voltage in the line rises back to nominal voltage.
      It's kind of like if you imagine turning on your faucet. It causes the water pressure to lessen for a split second. But then the water pressure returns to normal even though the faucet is running.
      If you have a motor home. You can watch all this happen. When you turn on a hair dryer without the generator on. It will often dim the lights for a second, like some voodoo.

    • @brandonhoffman4712
      @brandonhoffman4712 Před 5 měsíci +2

      The blade is part of the problem. The motor is the other part, unless one were running other items on the same circuit.
      My suggestion if it keeps happening after swapping to a rip blade would be to swap to a 30A breaker. You could also swap your cord on the saw to a chubby boy. Thin wires cause voltage drop over distance. And not the bouncing kind...

    • @brandonhoffman4712
      @brandonhoffman4712 Před 5 měsíci

      Ohh if you're trying to be considerate of the neighbors, maybe a woodshop isn't the best idea. The city has noise control ordinances for that. And construction is exempt from regulation within the allowable times to make noise.
      So you are safe to put in a woodshop. But my Dewalt 735 board planer humms @ a blistering 100+db's, like a race car on the throttle till the wood passes.
      Though you can spend an extra 500 bucks and get a shelix head for it which reduces the db's to 85 or so.
      85db is about what good dust collection makes also...
      It's not a quiet sport!

  • @alnsmns
    @alnsmns Před 5 měsíci +4

    You are using wrong blade for this cut. This blade is for crosscuts not rip cuts. For rip cuts you need to use combination blade 40-50 T. The reason you have hard time cutting is saw dust stacks between teeth and it's very hard to cut and you get burn marks. You need combination blade that will allow saw dust dispersion.

    I just read about the newest Bosch table saw GTS15-10. It has a rack and pinion fence. Saw price $650.
    I'm trying to decide between the Delta 36-725T2 and the Bosch GTS15-10.
    I'm just a hobbyist.

    • @yellowhammerwoodcrafts

    • @brandonhoffman4712
      @brandonhoffman4712 Před 5 měsíci +1

      They are two totally different saws. You need to ask yourself if you have space for a cabinet saw like the delta and are ready to dedicate the space for a table saw.
      If you are, get the delta. Power wise both saws should be similar, but the delta is a full panel saw. It has a longer and wider fence. The fence can be tossed out and aftermarket stuff bought to improve its precision if desired. Incra's fence system is amazing, but can't be installed on contractor saws.
      If you don't have dedicated space for a table saw. Then get a portable contractor table saw. They are more wobbly, they can't cut as wide, they have shorter and inferior fences, but they are portable. My bosch will fold right up and go sit in the corner. But it underperformed compared to my grandpa's old harbor freight cabinet saw (until it died).
      With table saws. Imo, the fence is your God. It will dictate the quality of cuts over time (with a good blade of course)
      Hot tip: wax your table saw, in fact wax most of your tools! It will make things slide better than factory condition!

      That's excellent advice.
      Since I have the room I'll go with the Delta saw.
      Thank you for reminding me about the importance of a good fence. I'll need to factor that into the budget as well.
      I was thinking about under-mounting a router on the long side of the saw.
      I'll be investigating the Incra fence system now.
      Thanks again for that great advice!

      @skippylippy547 the delta fence should be good enough to last you until you want to upgrade. It's also the same type of fence found on saws much more expensive. I think it will even work with the new robotic fence that is out/coming out. I don't know the brand, but it slots right into that type of fence system!
      One word of warning though. I saw a comment about parts availability. I then went to research a little. And I'm not certain major parts are available should something go wrong.
      That being said the world's shipping is all messed up right now... from the houthis in the bab al mendeb (probably misspelled that!) To the Panama canal shutdowns. We're all messed up, and Delta has about the longest trip to get here from asia...
      You might want to look into it yourself. I don't know if ridgid is fairing better? They basically sell the exact same saw in orange. Thier competing saw sucked so bad it seems they capitulated and bought delta saws to sell LOL!

  • @martinparmer
    @martinparmer Před 8 měsíci +1

    I think when the saw stops/needs reset it's just from being an under powered saw for that cut. Mine does it when I really push a tough cut too fast.
    Have you had any issues with leveling? I can level mine but over time the leveling feet will not hold where I put them. from the vibration and other movement all the time I guess.

    • @yellowhammerwoodcrafts
      @yellowhammerwoodcrafts  Před 8 měsíci

      Honestly I’ve never tried leveling mine because I move it around often. Never had a reason to level it because if the top is level, and you’re zeroing out your angle finder from the top, the machine itself doesn’t really have to be level

    • @brandonhoffman4712
      @brandonhoffman4712 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Red thread lock (permanent) if your saw never moves its place.
      Blue thread lock (non permanent) if you still move your saw.
      Decide which is for you. Unthread leveling feet, apply a line of thread lock, reinsert, level, done.

    The miter gauge comes glued on from factory , yours must have fallen off. To solve the problem with the sticky part remove the blade cover and using a round file, file it in an angle about a 1/16 of an inch the circle

    • @brandonhoffman4712
      @brandonhoffman4712 Před 5 měsíci

      All miter gauges that come with cheaper saws suck. I'm not sure about stuff 2,000+, but I would imagine it still sucks.
      For 60 bucks you can get precision miter gauges that might have you rethinking the need for a miter saw. For 150 you can live the dream of Uber precision. For 250 you can have Jess-em's God tier miter gauge.
      I consider my bosch miter gauge a toy only good for cutting non visible non structural cuts. I used it today, the first time in a year most likely, to cut plywood to layer on the table saw to invert a complex stair edge to control chip out.
      I glued it all down using the superglue and tape method. It's my new favorite thing!
      Next time I need to barricade a room to keep people off the floor, I'm gluing straight edges to the door casing! KEEP OUT! If that doesn't do it, I'm going to start gluing full sheets of ply up. Maybe a bilingual high voltage sign and some wires soldered to the straight edges will help!
