As a framer, we use d hangers and wire for framing projects. The supplies for medium projects are listed on our website.
Also, we have a special on Pegas Spiral blades in the dozen pack. The regular price is $4.40 and the special price is $3.52.
I would return the saw and let Delta know of the out of box experience. My first saw was a Hitachi purchased from Lowe. Returned it within a week and bought a DeWalt. That was 15 years ago and I still have the saw along with an EX21 and Pegas.
