Delta 36-725T2 Unbox/Review/Demo

[@tylercousins7779]

Watching you use it scares the crap outta me. I really don’t want you to get injured. You stand like your waiting for the bus, not using a machine that will ruin your life in 1/1000 of a heart beat. You’re holding the wood like your scared of it, holding it very unsafe and not using making safe cuts. Please upgrade your skills before you ruin your day. Try KZbin. Nice review though.

[@thomasbrown7687]

Safety note...........I saw you cross cut with the rip fence and push stick......this is ready for a kick back as the piece tends to turn and bind against the blade. Remedy. ......use a miter gauge with out the fence unless you use a spacer clearance block attached to the fence for repeated length cuts . But the wood must clear the fence before touching the blade. I was a woodshop teacher for 35 years and have seen many kickback doing this so keep it safe and good information thank you

[@aaronstestlab]

Good idea. Crosscutting with the fence in place has always felt a little sketchy. But I do it so infrequently that I've never taken the time to learn a better way. Thanks for the tip.

[@ailiaw]

I was scared for him while watching it! Definately use your crosscut sled or a miter gauge. Have had kickback like that before and it is scary as hell.

[@longfinger]

Thomas is right. Please watch some table saw safety videos. You scared the hell out of me!

[@bigjohnfl]

I was just about to say the same. SAFETY FIRST!

[@bigjohnfl]

@@aaronstestlab Always cross cut using a miter gauge or sled.

[@kdc300z]

Dude... 19:06 yikes...

[@carlwebinar1571]

Sounds to me like the Delta's blade is not square or there is some kind of 'wobble' when the blade is turning. There shouldn't be those occasional, but regularly repeating sounds of metal hitting metal when the blade is doing no work.

[@thatguythatdoesstuff7448]

I'm betting the blade is poorly made and it's harmonic vibrations. Which is why you hear it occasionally, but the timing is consistent. The "metal hitting metal" is the blade plate ringing when the teeth are occasionally contacting the hard plastic insert.

[@carasmussen27]

this is the table saw I am getting from Santa. I'll also be asking for a Diablo blade. I use Diablo blades on my jig saw and I love them. Thank you. PS I am going to have my hubby watch as he will be assisting me in putting this together.

[@cdelapaz5]

All the Diablo blades I’ve found are too narrow for the rising knife according to the manual (pg17). I’m not a particular safe guy, but a full functional riding knife is kinda a big deal. I think the biggest reason why after market blades a quieter, is they tend to be much thinner and cut a wider path

[@a.j.montie1083]

Picked this up today for $300 clearance at Lowe's today! Such a beast! Plenty of work ahead!

[@willshanks3964]

Thanks for giving me the confidence to buy and the info needed for the buildout and tune up! I was skeptical regarding the motor complaints, I have mine on a 20 amp breaker, no sweat with the right amperage. You seriously should get a commission from Delta. I LOVE this saw, already have gotten a lot of use out of it in the last two months.

On that extension wing with the 6 extra screws, you're lucky you had those in the right rotation. They can be rotated 180 and fit the front and rear rails just fine, but the holes to affix to the table itself are offset by around 1/2 on one side vs the other, which is for an optional extension table.

[@henrymears5140]

Yes, I discovered that the hard way.

[@pemtax557]

Extremely well done Aaron ... this was a thoughtful, informative and well organized video. Your review just happened to address every topic I had concerning this saw. I couldn't agree with you more about the woes of starving an induction motor of power ... it is a recipe for disaster if not addressed before turning this saw on for the first time. The cost of adding a dedicated 20 amp circuit for this saw would be an investment well spent. Not only will you save your saw, but how do you associate a dollar amount to the frustration of your new saw going up in smoke - warranty or not? Thanks for your time and effort to share your experience with us ... Cheers, dave

[@rchavez5056]

Great video but I'm surprised you still have all your teeth. You need to learn a new way to crosscut without using the fence. I kept thinking the piece was going to kick back. Stay safe buddy.

[@aaronstestlab]

Thanks, yeah, could have done that better

[@rodpotts2666]

Incorrigible Aaron yea I was scared the whole time for you.

[@Jim-zt1hl]

I was thinking the same thing...unsafe, that's what chop saws are for. I never use a table saw for cutting small cross cuts.

[@TheSkitd]

I've seen that cutoff try to embed itself into a guys arm when he was using this same technique. It left an ell shaped cut in his forearm.

[@honkhonklersr.4340]

Why don't people check the blade to miter tolerance??? If you adjust the trunnion and get the error down, your saw will cut like a hot knife through butter with practically zero kickback!

[@adventuristnw2321]

Really good video! I have this saw and love it. Very well build and huge bang for the buck. I had one of the early 36-725T2's that had the motor failure. Two actually. The original one I bought and a second one to replace the first. I was on a dedicated 20 amp breaker and a heavy duty cord, so it was not related to that. After the second saw failure I reached out to Delta directly as I really liked the saw...other than the motors kept smoking. Since I was an "early adopter" Delta worked with me on a solution. Upon inspection, the blade brake had some sort of design flaw that caused it to shred leaving little pieces in the housing. This was accompanied by the smell of burning rubber. They also believed there might have been a capacitor issue. Delta handled the problem great and sold me as a customer due to the great service they gave me. Delta sent me another saw directly after having had their engineers inspect it to make sure all was good and paid to have mine shipped back to them for examination. Ever since that third saw they sent, everything has been fine. I believe whatever the problem was, they tracked it down and got it squared away for future saws.

[@kennethprice4292]

Great review however, you really need to be careful making cross cuts with the fence. See time stamp 19:20 ish. Those small pieces can twist between the fence and blade and fly right back at you. Just saying. Enjoy your new saw 👍

[@jdahling4738]

Please stop making cross cuts like that dude, your fingers are really close and all it takes is for you to turn the board. Use the mitre gauge or build a sled.

thank you so much for posting this video! gives me a good idea of what iam getting into when getting a more serious table saw

[@JeffRevell]

I have had this saw for a couple of years and it’s pretty great. Definitely the most bang for the buck. I installed a router table in the extension wing.

[@paulweston8184]

Nice review. Thanks for the information. I'm i the market for a new table saw. I haven't had any problems with my Dewalt Jobsite table saw other than it being too small for my needs. I'm always learning new things and have picked up some priceless tips from the woodworking sites including yours and others. I'll return the favor and shoot you some advice on something I noticed. You may already be aware, but I figured I'd say something. If you want to calibrate your blade to 90, use a longer square that extends far enough past the throat plate so that you are squaring to the tabletop, not the throat plate for the obvious reason being the throat plate is not secured in place and Is usually never quite flush to the tabletop.

[@tuesboomer1623]

Outstanding presentation! Extremely useful information. I don't think it is a long winded video at all, YT algo's notwithstanding, I truly appreciate all the detail you have provided! Trust me, I have seen just about every video about the original variant of this saw. This one is at the top of the useful scale for the new model. Mostly, I want to thank you profusely for addressing and including the detailed decibel and noise information. Like you, I can't tolerate being an annoyance to the neighbors and as I am setting up my shop in the garage, noise levels are always at the top of the priority list. Also, I appreciate you addressing the negative reviews about defunct motors and power supply. May have been caught by this nuance. Also, the issue has apparently been addressed by Delta as a bad batch of capacitors and a recall was issued, if they are to be believed. Time will tell, probably various combinations of the two.

[@matthewhuston1188]

Nice walk through. I think you were hearing blade runout

[@lowhagel]

This video was great and helped me putting mine together. And yes the instructions are not the best lol

[@maceo2012]

Dude, one of the best reviews I've ever watched. Hit all the necessary questions clearly! Thank you.

[@michaelnewell9662]

my thoughts exactly! well done

[@thokesum]

I definitely agree

[@Cam-wi3tp]

could I find the assembled length and width please?

[@adammabe5819]

Man I gotta tell ya - I wish like hell that you had done this a few months earlier! It would have let me know I wasn't crazy or stupid. As someone who owns this saw and is a happy customer after a few months of day-to-day use, I can say - if you are thinking of buying or have just bought this saw, this video (and this comment) is for you! I thought I would lose my mind before I got mine completely assembled and dialed in just right. Like so many who buy this saw, I was stepping up from a jobsite saw, and I had zero experience with this kind of assembly. There was conflicting reports on all kinds of things about this saw from the height of the tabletop to the voltage, so I wasn't exactly going into the whole thing with confidence anyway. (btw - i totally agree with your conspiracy theory - mine hasn't blinked!) While a clear head, some common sense, a lot of patience, and a willingness to tinker will definitely get it done, I think that for me, and I'm sure so many others, these faculties were still occupied trying to keep me from freaking out over the cash I'd just forked over, and I found myself using lots of four letter words and just wanting the damn thing to work. The best advice I can give is go to sleep and look it over tomorrow with fresh eyes. What I couldn't make sense of the night I bought the saw came quickly and clearly the next morning. I wish Delta would have set their buyers up for success with their awesome machine by including some awesome instructions, but they didn't. (If you've just purchased it - hang in there man! It's almost over!) If I could change only one thing about this saw, it would be for them to use something cheaper than those mysteriously substantial pieces of plastic shipping material and re-assign those funds to a rewrite of the instructions. I've seen it said several times that Delta's customer service was a joke, and I couldn't disagree more - what I got when I reached out to Delta wasn't anything that resembled customer service, and there was nothing funny about it. I very much feel that for $600, what did I expect? Apparently, Delta agrees. With a little distance between me and the painful assembly process, I can say that it forced me to get better acquainted with the machine as a whole. With my absence of experience doing anything of this kind, it ended up being one of those fabled blessings in disguise. That said, I love this saw, and unless something better pops up at the same price, I would definitely buy it again. Thanks for your awesome review of the Delta 36-725T2, and as someone who has owned and used this saw for months, I agree with just about every word you said.

[@Jeremy_810]

I did the same thing for assembly of my 36-725. I started late afternoon, slept, and finished the following day. I stayed patient and actually enjoyed the assembly process as I was able to get it dialed in near perfectly. Lots of loosening, adjusting, and tightening to get it where I wanted it, mostly on those stamped steel table inserts. I really like the micro adjust screws on the fence. It's a precision machine now. I could run a 10 foot board through it and it would register the exact same thickness from beginning to end on my dial caliper.

[@anthonycaldi7056]

Right around 16:00 the delta while running sounded like the blade was still hitting the cover. Did that wear itself in? I’m in between this saw and the Ridged hybrid saw but leaning towards the Delta

[@aaronstestlab]

It did break in a bit. Tough call between this and the rigid. Likely better warranty and support from Rigid. But I think this has a much nicer fence.

[@dylan-nguyen]

Wow that looks EXACTLY like the new Ridgid one 🧐 Did ridgid just rip off Delta lol Same issues as the Ridgid.

[@aaronstestlab]

The new Ridgid is made by Delta

[@dylan-nguyen]

@@aaronstestlab ahh

[@majtnkr]

Thanks for the great and direct overview and review! This became my Christmas present from and for wife & I to use rehabilitating a 120yo farmhouse! Next, to add the router table to the open end...

[@mikes-mz5xb]

That's exactly what I thought, and will be doing to mine... Right after I buy it.

[@andrewhouse6300]

The sound the delta is making during the decibel test is absolutely terrifying

[@MrHf4l]

What is that metal on metal sound at 15:45?

[@miltonparent6495]

The motor on the last version was crap !

[@Rebel9668]

As I have an older Rockwell (Delta) contractor saw that I've upgraded over the years, I think if I got this one that I'd transfer some of the parts from that saw to this one, like the solid extension tables as opposed to those that look like sheet metal. If the holes don't line up, that's what a drill is for, lol. Not really a fan of that type of power switch which I think I'd change out for an old style toggle. Also, while the miter gauge might be good, I think I'd store it away in favor of the Fuller one I currently have which I love! While it is 15 amp, I think I'd run new 20 amp wire and a 20 amp circuit breaker to my fuse box for it in order not to max out a 15 amp circuit. Living in a rural area I don't need to be concerned about noise so it wouldn't really matter what blade I use as I wear ear plugs when I'm using about any tool in my shop. Otherwise, it looks like a really nice saw.

[@darkblaz3]

Oooofff, if you keep cross cutting with a rip fence, that riving knife is not going to help you...

[@moisesrobles7884]

Bro I love it I have one thanks delta im smashing my like botton kaboooooooooooooom

[@cb2000a]

Years ago I had a Delta Unisaw which is an amazing saw. Very quiet and zero kickbacks. One person could easily run a full sheet of plywood through with the side and rear extension tables.

[@mychalevenson7710]

I'm strongly considering this saw. The blown motors was caused by a capacitor issue at the factory. Delta fixed the issue.

[@doseofreality100]

How is the fence dead square when it clearly wobbles when you slide it can and forth? Once clamped does it straighten out and become square..... every time?

[@aaronstestlab]

Yes, that's how every t-style fence works

[@deaddadd]

I had gone to Lowe's and looked at the contractor DeWalt and the Delta side by side. The Delta's motor isn't as powerful, but it's so much more saw, for the same price. Agreed on the Delta blade, as it struggles to get through hickory and black walnut, but I'd digging this saw!

[@mminniear984]

So, saw blades are like truck tires, the cheaper and the meatier they are, the louder they are while moving. Lol

[@bernarddouthit4647]

Aaron - this is an awesome video. As other commenters have pointed out, you covered every important topic incuding power. Like most everyone my wood shop is in my garage and I don't have a dedicated 20 Amp circuit for my saw. What I've done short term is to plug the saw in to the garage door opener circuit as there's an outlet for the garage door motor in the rafters. I've got a Skilsaw SPT70 that's 15 amps and since I made this change it's worked well. Before I made the change the motor would stall out or shut off and just seemed not doing well. This isn't an ideal option because the overhead lights are on the same circuit, but it's way better than putting my saw on a 15 amp circuit with a shop vac. That's maybe what many people don't realize. A shop vac can draw 5 or more amps, maybe 10, so it's a very good idea to put your saw or other power tools on a separate circuit. Right now I'm going to cheapster route with an extension cord from the house to power the shop vac and heater. Again - great job reviewing this saw. I'm about to buy one.

[@rvail136]

Blade guard is the 1st thing NO cabinetmaker ever uses...because the simply get in the way and OSHA isn't going to visit your home to site you for it...also, who uses the blade lock to change the blade? I've always used a piece of scrap hardwood to hold the blade. To tighten, finger tight, then use the bed to hold the wrench while you rotate the blade by hand...

[@mikedd969]

Great video, it really helped me both in making my purchase decision and in the assembly. I don't know who writes Delta's instruction manuals, but if they are listening, they can call me, I can absolutely do a much better job than they did. :) Also, IMHO you are spot-on in your theory about what is the likely cause of the reviews mentioning motor burnout and other issues. I have a considerable amount of professional experience with induction motors and they can be very sensitive to the kind of voltage drop taht you would see on an overloaded circuit or from using an extension cord that is either too long, too small gauge or both. I out in a dedicated 20A circuit just for the saw for that exact reason, I also made myself an extension cord using 12ga conductor cord taht is just exactly long enough for my shop.

[@mpkane24]

I like your name. I was reading comments and stopped dead in my tracks. At first I thought I was losing my mind as I didn’t remember ever watching this video, let alone commenting. LOL.

[@dfinma]

19:06 Bad form to crosscut against the rip fence. Not that you will hurt yourself but 212k people have watched this video and I suspect at least 1 of them will think this is an ok idea.

[@csimet]

Nice job with the review. I also find the fence system to be excellent, even as a standalone option for an old saw. I bought the 36-T30 T4 fence for my vintage 1969 Craftsman 113... and paid nearly $50 in shipping! It has the single piece mount rails (square guide rail is 62" alone) and well worth the extra cost to me. With my four extra cast table extensions (including a router table extension), I've got 36" right and 20" left rip capacity. I also agree 100% on your findings/toughts on the electric requirements and reported issues. I too, run my saw on a dedicated 20A circuit. BTW... When setting the fence, I make sure it is dead parallel to the blade and the miter slot first (all three parallel to each other), then adjust the backside of the fence away from the far end of the miter slot a few thousands (~0.002") just to make sure the back end of the blade never pinches the work.

[@ashconnor]

Excellent review sir. Wish it was available in Canada!

[@RidgidRon]

The Exact same model is not at Home Depot but with Ridgid name on it To further note. I got the Zero clearance for the T2 it is the same Blue one with plastic-you cut through the plastic with the saw. I guess that is what makes it Zero clearance-figure a 30-dollars glued in piece of plastic.

[@jaredmartin6164]

Wish this video was out when I assembled mine. Great video. Those instructions were terrible. I thought the Grey plastic pieces were leg extensions too.

[@mikecurtis1111]

15:39 when you turn on the saw, I'm still hearing that grating sound, but only momentarily every second or so. Makes me wonder if the blade is out of balance and causing some kind of gyro wobble?

[@jaredperry8954]

Hey bud I don’t want to be that guy, but please do not cut a strip like when you were doing the sound test. That strip could easily kick back and force your hand in the blade. Use your miter gauge for that. Or better yet make a cross cut sled. I just want everybody to keep their fingers.

[@colemahaney4208]

It is made in China so the instructions will not be so good.i dont like those wide bulky fences.for 600 usd the saw should be perfect

[@ChrisHornberger]

The noise difference between cutting and idle running might also be because the blade is not square to the slots. I didn't see you check that in the video. I'm not sure this model provides adjustment.

[@eldiyguy2579]

Great review video, some sketchy cuts tho lol

[@terrmaso]

Thanks for the great review and troubleshooting tips👍 This saw has been on my radar for about 6 months now and after seeing your video, I am definitely headed out to get one. My current saw is the Hitachi/Metabo C10RJ contractor saw. The fence and large cast iron table on the Delta is what drew me to it originally. To save money on the zero clearance insert, I would just make one from good hard wood stock. When doing your dba readings, it sounded like you still had some blade contact with the insert. It was rhythmic and very noticeable to me. As for the dust collection, would it be possible to enclose the lower section to add a dedicated 4" collection hose? Again thanks, thanks for the walkthrough and tips, happy woodworking!

[@aaronstestlab]

The blade is already enclosed in a shroud for dust collection. Suppose you could adapt the output from 2.5 to 4" if you'd like. I've seen some 3rd party overarm dust collectors for the unit available. Would think that could make a big difference.

[@markblankenship8289]

I guess my question is if I use the blade you recommend will it be ok for my riving knife I just bought this Same saw

[@aaronstestlab]

Yes, it's a thin-kerf riving knife, which most off-the shelf blades are as well

[@richardc6932]

Why not run a 15A motor (= 2.17 HP) on a 240V / 30 amp breaker setup?

[@aaronstestlab]

Because I would have no idea how to rewire the motor to do that

Thank you so much for this video. Other channels often dismiss noise and that's rather annoying. A lot of us need something quieter for various reasons. I will definitely save up and buy this!

"There’s an electrical engineer there (Frank Heizler) who sells a kit with higher quality switches and capacitors for a reasonable price.

Two comments. For low powered saws a thin kerf blade works better. Secondly, I didn't see you align the blade to the miter slot. I have an old 1999 version of the Delta Contractor saw and love it.

Please let me know if if you have any concern and if you think I should buy a Diablo General Purpose or other thin kerf blade. Thank you!

Has anyone tried using a Makita blade with this saw? I just got this table saw and I tried installing a Makita blade on mine but noticed that it catches on the mount for the riving knifes. The Makita blades are 255mm but the stock blade is 254mm. This is the first saw that I have seen that the 1mm actually makes a difference. I'm just glad that I realized that it would catch before I tried running the saw.

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

Just bought one to replace my Ryobi 8 1/4" table saw. It was too small to do anything and no fence upgrade options without a ton of rigging. Also tired of fooling with track guides and circular saws that need a lot of measuring to get square with the opposite edge. If it becomes a struggle you won't stick with woodworking.

After several attempts and several weeks of trying I get a response and was told of a parts manual they could send me and that it contains replacement parts I could purchase to repair it , also while attempting to contact them my warranty had expired luckily I mailed In the ext warranty sadly to be informed they did not receive it and basically I didn’t exist in their records. My saw will remain unfixed in my shop as a reminder of how a company does not care and it shows in their machines. Ps the parts manual was not free and the saw was only used twice✌️2 times .. So thanks for taking my money delta and god bless you , You really need it.

Excellent review!

By changing the blade does that affect the riving knife?

[@aaronstestlab]

In general the blade and riving knife thickness need to match

Great video. Been looking to get one, but every Lowe’s is out of stock, even in my neighboring three states! **Update**. My local Lowe’s got lucky and received two about two weeks ago. I immediately ran down there and picked one up. Unfortunately, my schedule has been beyond busy, so it’s still in the box. Hoping to get it put together soon. As a side note, I also have the same Ridgid jobsite saw. I’m guessing the Delta will be a huge improvement.

Jezz Louise son, what in hades hell are you doing at 19:30 cross cutting a very narrow piece of wood like that? Are you crazy? That is what a miter gauge is for. What you did is very dangerous and a very poor example to those who are not experienced. Otherwise a good review of the delta saw. Don't ever do that again, you're asking for an accident.
