Below are Delta (portable)
small model tablesaws for sale. A tablesaw is usually the cornerstone
of a
shop, so choose
a good one to build your shop around. Plan ahead! If you plan
on only dabbling with small crafts and knickknacks then you should
be fine with a smaller and cheaper model, but serious woodworking
and furniture building will be much more fun (and easier) if you
have a bigger 3-5hp 10"-12" cabinet model tablesaw. Remember
you get what you pay for.

Delta TS200LS Shopmaster 10" Portable Bench Saw with
Legs
(reviewer)- "I bought this delta
saw about a year ago for an simple remodle job. I was just getting
into woodworking
and didnt have
much money, so the delta looked pretty nice. after getting hime
and putting it together if found that the stand was totaly unsatasfactory...so
built my own out of heafty 4x4's and 3/4" plywood, this made
a huge difference. Even after this it is STILL just a hundred dollar
table saw, u get waht u pay for somewhat underpowered and very
noisy but it got the job done. I would recomend it for anybody
who desparatly needs a table saw but only has a hundred bucks...u
get a decent saw. if u can, go bigger because this wont cut it
if your doing anything serious. i would definatley considrer getting
a new blade, preferably a thin kerf because of the power."
(reviewer)- "I have to agree
with some of the previous reviews. This is a good, portable table
saw. I wanted an inexpensive
and portable table saw to get my workshop started. The low price,
light weight and included stand fitted my needs exactly.
I have used this saw to build some bookcases and to rip some nailers
for a crown molding project, as well as some other smaller jobs.
So far this little Delta has powered through everything with only
the problems that would come from any other lightweight, portable
saw. I did pick up a thin kerf Freud Diablo after-market blade.
This saw and blade combo makes VERY SMOOTH cuts while the included
blade is great for chewing through stock when a little wave doesn't
matter.
This is not a cabinet saw with an ultra-accurate fence. Don't
rely on the included rule. Get out your T-square and set the fence.
Once the fence is set, I've found that it stays in place.
Yes,the mitre slots are smaller than standard and that is a pain
in the backside but with a little creativity and some time at the
bench grinder my after-market Bench Dog feather boards fit like
a dream.
The table is small but the portability of the saw was important
to me. I stopped at Sears and picked up two Craftsman roller stands
and the small table is no longer an issue. The beauty is that all
three pieces don't take up much space in my garage.
The saw is lightweight and has a tendency to wander on a smooth
surface. A piece of plywood with some 2x4's attached in a square
shape solves this problem. Set the stand legs inside the square
and your body weight stops the wandering. Make sure that the plywood
is long enough so you can stand on it while guiding your work piece
through the saw. The plywood leans against a wall behind the rollers
and saw and doesn't take up much space in my garage.
So there are is my opinion of this inexpensive, portable saw.
My only complaint with the saw is the non-standard mitre slots
(this is the reason that it didn't get 5 stars). The other complaints
are inherent with all portable table saws.
If you need to make ultra-accurate cuts or power
through a ton of hardwood every day, this is not the saw for
you. If you do the
occasional project and have minimal storage area, this is a great
saw with a nice price tag."
Delta TS200 Shopmaster 10" Portable
Bench Saw
(reviewer)- Great entry level 1st timer table saw.
Good for occasional weekend warrior and looks impressive in the
suburban
garage woodshop. Seriously, mine has served me well. I bought this
saw nearly 10 years ago. I built a moble cart to mount it on providing
an extended table area and storage below. However, as my skills
and demands on it have increased (i.e. ripping and dadoing LOTS
of hardwood trim)it is no longer up to the task and finally died.
I got every penny's worth out of it though!
(reviewer)- For
the moderate woodworker or home remodeler, this benchtop table
saw is excellent. The value and return-on-investment
are tremendous. It is light weight, easily portable, and maintains
its calibration and precision very well. I have one in my home workshop (garage), and my son uses his everyday
on jobsites (wood flooring installations).
Delta TS220LS Shopmaster
10" Deluxe
Bench Saw with Legs
Delta's Shopmaster TS220 is a step up from their
benchtop saw, offering a larger table with outfeed extensions and
a powerful 15 amp motor that can slice through hardwoods without
bogging down. The solid anodized-aluminum table measures 17-1/2
by 34 inches and allows for a 20-inch maximum rip to the right
of the blade. When working with long pieces, you can pull out the
steel outfeed extension for better support, then collapse it back
into the table when you're done for more compact storage. There's
a front- and rear-locking T-square-type fence, and while it isn't
as desirable as the fences found on larger Delta saws, it's more
accurate than the fences we find on many benchtop saws. We also
like the large paddle switch that makes quick shutdowns easy and
the sturdy steel stand that comes with this saw. This saw will
work great for do-it-yourselfers and beginning woodworkers, but
professionals and people taking on more extensive home remodeling
work will want to consider stepping up to the greater capacity
offered by one of Delta's industrial saws. --Brian Trinen
