Delta used to produce some great products. I own an American made Delta Unisaw, bought new about twenty years ago. It is the best power tool I own. I also own a Delta 6” jointer which is the second best tool I own. Delta has been sold, bought and sold again so many times that it is no longer the same company it once was. At this point, I don’t think Delta produces any tools themselves, they just contract out like so many other companies. I remember reading an article in Wood Magazine many years ago. It talked about how different tool companies have their tools made at the same factories as other tool companies. It showed pictures of manufacturing lines with tools rolling off, with different colors and labels, but the same tools. The article also talked about quality control was up to the tool company. Some tool companies have better quality requirements than others. They even have their own quality control personnel on site, others don’t. Obviously, Delta no longer has good quality control. The name used to mean you were getting a quality tool, no longer is this true!
