I had my 2nd sale of the year Saturday It was better than the first one. the first one was an out door one and it rained all except the last hour w;hen I sold $100 Yesterday was a 6 hour one indoors and I sold $150 I don't know how the first building did but the turn out in the second building was not too good I did as good as anybody and better than most. all I sold was puzzles and a lighted tree. I have another sale on the 15 th of November that's a thursday and it is a free one so who knows .IKE

I do a lot of fretwork like shelves and hard wood is hard to find for a 10" X 14 " shelf so I use a lot of ply wood ( the best grade you can find) Then stain it. Then stack cut 3 pieces Then sell or give the other 2 away. When I started back in 1963 I used a cheaper plywood to get my abilities up and to see if fretwork was what I wanted to do . I made a lot of fret fire wood but I did get to where I was ready to sell my work. IKE

I looked at the Delta when my DW788 died a couple month ago the only problem i see is it doesn't stay in the set speed. It's not as aggressive as the DW788 which is a + and i do like the arm staying up . I will see how it holds up compared with the DW788 which was 3 major breakdowns in a 4 year period.. and it was a $100 chiefer and I have 6; month with no interest IKE.

I can't tell what is all the problems with it I have had so many problems with it the last couple of years and I just don't want to mess with it any more Every ti;m;e I fix something on it in a little while something else goes wrong. My wife tells me that I have had it for about 8 years . It's time to get a new one which I did. I guess I am just too old to mess with it. IKE

It got so that it is a yearly thing for it to go bad on me and I decided to make a change. i like the convenient things about it. So I decided to go to the to the Delta with a 5 year warranted and back it up with the Lowe's add on guarantee..I do like the stay up arm feature.Only time will tell if I made the right choice. IKE .

It has every thing rong with it and It would cost about$200 to fox it and I have had it for a little over 5 years so I decided to go with what my wallet would afford ane that is a Delta 40.694 It tood two days to get here and it has a 5 year warrante . I cut a dog puzzle ( Shepherd) with a # 3 blade it cut good we will have to wait and see what it is like in 5 yeaars. IKE

I also use spray lacquer IKE

when I first got My Dewalt I was pretty pleased with it but after the guarantee ran out I began to have problems with it and the Service dept wasn't very good so this time when it went out for the 5 time I decided to buy a different saw the only thing I can find in my price range is a Delta. I bought it thru Lowes with there guarentee plaln. IKE

My Dewalt Just died . I have had it for about 4 years and have added a new mother board and Motor The last time either time I wasn't sure what the problem was so I had the Dewalt Service station work on it The first time it cost $250 the second time they had it 5 weeks and I had to call Dewalt and they got it to me in about 3 days they came down from Columbus Ohio to About 90 miles and didn't charge me This time I have a Delta ordered from Loews with there 4 year coverage or replacement insurance cost $100 for 4 years They promised to get it back to me in 14 days in case of breakdown. I just had bad service from the Dewalt service station. IKE
