Easy installation, great product!
Installation took 15 minutes to get the piece flush with the table top as well as the sliding fence. Works great! Very sturdy...looking into attaching another extension onto this extension.

Not Bad
This accessory worked that way I wanted. The price was a little high but I needed to increase my cutting capacity.

Table saw extension review
Well, what can I say. If you are planning to use your saw to rip wider than 11 1/2 inches, you need to have this extension. I am impressed with how sturdy the extension is when bolted to the table. Most table extensions I have seen have been flimsy and unsafe in my opinion. This one is pretty good when you finally get it attatched. I am overall pleased with the product, however; I had a few problems installing it. Here are my gripes:

I think Delta should have used holes in the connecting side instead of slots. I had a problem lining it up with the saw table. The front edge of the extension didn't line up with my table and when the the fence was clamped down over the seam, it was not parallel to the blade. I had to file about 1/8 " off of the front inside edges of the mounting slots in order to bring the two pieces flush.

The cheap little flat sided washers provided in the hardware kit should be wider and thicker. When I tightened the bolts, the washers pressed into the slots and the extension lifted above the level of the table every single time. It took a while to get it lined up.

When I had it lined up as best as I could, the joint was still not perfectly smooth. We all know that this is important. I had to block sand the joint down with a piece of 80 grit sand paper to make the two surfaces join smoothly. Tip: If you sand lightly from front to back, you can duplicate the scratched alluminum surface that is already in the table and when you are done, it looks and feels pretty good.

Delta did an outstanding job at making the extension match the original table except for the self adhesive ruler. It looks like it came from a totally different saw and leaves a 2 inch gap between the markings. Although I always gage my fence with a tape measure, it would have looked better if it matched.

Finally I thought the price was way too high. ... Amazon was the best deal I found though, taking into consideration the free shipping.

Go ahead and buy this one. You will be able to rip a solid 19 1/2 inches using it. It took me about an hour to do all of the above things I mentioned and I ended up with a pretty nice looking saw which is also much more functional than it was when I bought it. I hope this helps.

Works fine
Unlike some of the other reviews, my unit attached straightforwardly, and the fence moves smoothly from table to extension. Takes a little care to attach correctly (I used a pair of C clamps to hold it in place), and the nuts are in an awkward position when tightening (I tipped the saw over onto its side), but no big problem.

It doesn't fit well.
The rip fence doesn't track well with this extension. This is a major flaw that makes the extension less useful. The cost of the extension is way out of line for the quality. ... Read more

Get a grip
This low cost vise will hold whatever you need to drill a hole in on your drill press. The quick release lets you change pieces fast for repetitive drilling. Unfortunatly, it does not fit the Delta DP300 bench drill press .... It is much too large and the mounting holes do not line up...

Too large for 990 bench drill press
Although it's advertised to fit the Delta 990 press, it does not. The bolt holes in the vise simply will not line up square w/ the slots in the drill press table. I can c-clamp it to the table of the press and it works fine, but no one wants to have to make such basic compromises with a brand new tool. I'm going to return it and look for the 4" vise instead.
The two stars reflects my frustration with the false advertising, not the quality of the product. I agree with the prior reviewers regarding the quality.

better then expected
Seeing that this is a 6 inch vise for under thirty dollars I though there was a quality issue for it being so cheap. Not so. The quick release feature is very handy. And it's so big it doubles as a bench vise when I need it. If your drill press is big enough, get this vise.

Great addition to a Delta Drill Press
The Quick Release Vise is a great addition to any delta drill press. It makes drilling very easy and accurate, since you aren't trying to use clamps or your hands to hold onto wood or metal. This vise does not come with bolts to attach it to your drill press, you need to buy those from your local hardware store. I'd also suggest making wood blocks to put on the walls of the vise, so you don't mess up what you want to drill. Have a rag on hand to wipe the non-rust oil off when you open the vise shipping box. Overall it is a good addition to any drill press. ... Read more

A piece of junk!
I received this supposedly factory reconditioned scroll saw today and set about putting it together. First, not all the parts were there. Second, the tilt table gauge was bent nearly 60 degrees out of whack. The variable speed knob just spins around and around and has no effect on the speed of the unit.

This thing belongs in the trash can. If I don't get some satisfaction from Delta and The Tool Crib, it's sayonara to both of them.

This saw is junk when it's brand new. Buyer beware! ... Read more

does what it says...but
it does what it is suppose to do. but, i regret my purchase. if you have some 1/2" stock laying around make your own and save the money. either jig saw or use a router and trim bit and make a copy of your original insert. get some set screws, tap the holes(for leveling) and you are set. i made mine in about 5 minutes out of mdf. works great and i can make more for different size dado setups.

Dado insert doesn't fit
I purchased the insert with certainty from both Amazon.com and Delta that this is the right insert for my saw. There is only one problem, it is too large to fit in the saw. It is approximately 1/4" too long. In comparing it with the insert that came with the saw it is visibly larger. The only solution appears to be to grind it down as other reviewers have noted on the insert for the 8" Dado sets. While it can be done, it is disappointing for something that should simply drop in.

Its an insert.
What can I say? I laughed. I cried. I cut dados.

Just right
The dado insert is for my Delta Contractor Saw. It fits very snugly-- It requires a bit of force to un-seat the insert from the saw's throat. It could be that once the new paint is weared off, it could be easier. But I think it is better that way than too loose. The price is reasonable and I highly recommend it. ... Read more

Does the job
I picked up a pair of these clamps to use with my Delta 36-255L Twinlaser saw. (They are designed to work with that model, too; why Amazon's site doesn't reflect what is clearly printed on the product box is a mystery. Delta customer service directed me to this part number.)

The clamps work great. They fit the saw table well and provide plenty of hold down force for bigger pieces of stock.

The price is reasonable, too. Each of these is about half as expensive as the DeWalt accessory clamps are for their saws.

I hold back one star because there is no quick release feature. Hey, there's always some room for improvement. ... Read more

Used
I knew that this was going to be a less than great product but I did not expect it to be used. They didnt even bother to clean the sawdust out of it!

Not bad for the money
For the money, this is not a bad item. Other reviewers are correct that it doesn't come with directions, but page 17 of the PDF manual that is linked on Amazon's product page (should be above if you are reading this review)shows the 5 steps needed to square it up. Took me less than 5 minutes. Basically, clamp it down, and loosen the two screws on top until it is square (the manual says to use the miter guage slot to check for square-ness, I used my Swanson Speed Square), then tighten the two screws. You can adjust how tight it clamps to the table by rotating the flip/lock lever until it is as tight as you need. That's it!

Again, for the price I paid, not a bad addition for my 9" band saw. When I get my 14" professional band saw, I'll get a better fence.

Don't buy
Fence was delivered yesterday. No directions on it's use and I can't make it fit securly to the table. I do not recommend it. Will be returning it for credit.

Don't Waste Your Money
Even after shimming this fence and spending a lot of time making adjustments it just doesn't do the job. It does not clamp onto the table tightly and moves when any pressure is applied. You're better off using a peice of scrap wood clamped to the table top. I took the fence to the Delta repair center to see if they could offer advice and they had never even seen this product.

Half-way decent fence for a lackluster band saw
I bought this fence in hopes that it MIGHT improve the performance on my delta 8" band saw. Aside from the face that the band saw is really poorly designed, the fence is just as clumsy a design. It is very stiff to move back and forth on the table and will move unless you tighten it alot. And if you do tighten it alot you have to be Hulk Hogan to push the locking clamp down. It is only about 2" high. However since this is being used on a really bad saw to begin with, how could you possibly expect more. ... Read more

Works great - get one.
Hooks up easy, works great, get one.

Fits easy and collects most of the chips
It took me about five minutes to put this on my planer. It gets about 99% of the dust and I'm using a 6hp, 18.6 gallon shop vac.

A hint for you if you plan on using a shop vac with this. You will need a 4 - 2 1/4 reducer. This will fit your shop vac just fine, all you need is a 2 1/2 splice and I found this at my local home center with the shop vac accessories. The 4" part of this is another story. The end of the chute is 4" and the reducer end is 4", they don't fit together they just butt up against each other and I couldn't find any kind of 4" splice. The solution for this is to use a dust collector hose but they are expensive so I bought a dryer vent hose. Normally that hose would collapse but since I'm only using to keep both of these parts together there is nothing to collapse. It works great and will save you from having to buy 20' of dust collector hose to only use 3".

PS Don't forget to get two 4" clamps to hold everything together.

Delta 50-445 4" Dust Collector Chute (For Model 22-560)
This Delta Dust Collector Chute is a must! No directions for installation, but installed easily once figured out. The chute must be removed to change planer knives ... a minor inconvenience. I had concerns about how to connect the 4" chute exhaust to my 2-1/4" shop-vac hose. Problem solved at my local plumbing store.

"Ya gotta have this"
This is a must have, if you are using the Delta 22-560 planer. It not only collects the dust, but a good 90% of the chips as well. The fit is excellent and only takes a couple of minutes to install. If you are using a wet/vac for dust control it may not work as well, but if you have a 4" system this is the cat's meow.I'm going to two stage my collection system so the chips fall into a "can", because you can really fill the bag on the vac quickly when you are planing a lot of material. Delta got this one right.

Don't Forget This!
Planers create a lot of sawdust/shavings. Get this and hook it up to a dust collector. Only the smallest amount of shavings coming out after that. It really helps keep the shop and your projects clean. ... Read more

no title
I recently purchased this machine and I am quite happy with the sanders performance so far.

There are some things that I would like to make any prospective purchasers aware of. This is a large heavy duty machine that basically works well. I think that Delta needs to address the sanding head detents. At 90, 45 and 180 degree's they would be nice to have, but have a very ambigious feel to them. I can not tell when the head is in these positions, so I have to use a square for an accurate setting. Also the sanding head angle scale is difficult to read since the motor hangs where you need to place your head to get a straight on look at the scale.

The two biggest disapointments are that the sanding platen is not constructed of cast iron but is fabricated of sheet steel and covered with a graphite sheet. The steel is fairly thick, approximately 1/8". Time will tell if this will hold up to long sessions of sanding or not. The thing that I found to be the biggest disapointment though was that the sander is made in Taiwan. The catalog that I found this machine in "Tool Crib" clearly and in color states "Prodly made in the USA". This statement alone was the biggest factor that swayed me into purchasing this machine. If I would have known this I would have saved $900.00 and purchased the Powermatic, Taiwan made sander for $899.00.

The sander does have some good to excellent features. The cast iron tables are nicely ground and very flat. The base that supports the whole machine is robust and gives the sander a stable feel to it. The tracking - oscillating mechanism works good, but is dissapointing in that the drum sanding attachment does not oscillate. The 3 h.p. motor is quite powerful and allows agressive sanding pressure to be applied without bogging.

If you need the longer sanding length a 108" belt gives over an 80" belt sander and feel that you will need a 3 h.p. motor over the 1 1/2 h.p. motor of the Powermatic then maybe the additional cost of $900.00 would be justified. But for me I could have done other things with the money.

Massive Shipping Crate Didn't Protect It!
I've revised this review as of 1/8/04
My sander arrived with the motor fan cover pushed in and rubbing against the fan. This was easy to remedy with a screwdriver. I'm glad I rotated the motor by hand before plugging it in. The outer cover to the grarbox was also dented. My local dealer immediately offered to repair or replace the sander with a new one. There were also several bolts and even a piece of bearing race found at the bottom of the shipping crate. I opted to keep the one I had because because the tables and fences were ground flat and true and "initial" alignment (see comments further on)was very good. The quailty and consistancy of the grind and polish was excellent.

This is a big and bulky machine and it takes four people to lift it onto its mobile base. I used a Jet adjustable base rated for 1200 pounds. I had to cut a few inches off two of the adjusting bars to compensate for the width of the sander.

Assembly was easy and so was belt adjustment. I walked the belt through several rotations by hand to check tracking. All seemed OK. When I turned the sander on it quiclky destroyed the belt. Visual inspection showed the the three bolts I had found at the bottom of the crate were missing from the underside of the sander where they mount the idler drum to the machine. I should have looked it over more carefully. Once installed and readjusted with a new belt installed, the tracking worked perfectly. My dealer sent out his service technician with the replacement parts and a new belt. He assured me that the bearing race and a couple of other metal scraps are not from my sander. My dealer also assures me that as long as they are in business, I will never have to worry about the warranty expiring.

I was initially impressed with the way things line up. As long as the belt is not under tension, the auxilliary table is 90 degrees to the idler drum even when raised all the way up to the auxilliary sanding drums. Under belt tension, the table is off by a few degrees. There is no provision to compensate for this. I'll have to rough sand curved surfaces on this machine and do the final sanding on my Grizzly oscillating drum sander. Why would I not want to start out on the Grizzly? There is a certain economy to using the belt as opposed to an expensive sanding sleeve.

There is no oscillating action with these drums. All oscillation is done with the sanding belt only. The auxiliary sanding table which is made from heavy formed steel is at a true 90 degrees to the main table.

The only other alignment problems that I see come from two areas. First of all, when you release the table locks to slide it in and out to the sanding belt, it is possible to push to table out of alignment. This would not be a problem for normal edge sanding operations but would pose a hassle when using the miter guage. A remedy is to take two small thin right angle metal brackets and loosly wedge them in place between the table and the belt as you move the table forward. Then set your table locks and you have repeatable accuracy. Don't forget to slide the metal brackets out befor turning on the sander!

The other problem comes with the built in detent locking mechanism for 0, 45, and 90 degrees. Dissassembly revealed a burr on the end of the pin itself which prevented it from smoothly disengaging. It also revealed that the tip of the spring which thrusts the pin forward was lying in the cutaway wherein the pin retracts. I unscrewed the retaining cap on the pin mechanism and rotated the spring so that a flat edge now rested against the pin. This keeps the tip of the spring from jamming in the pin's raceway. It took some carefuI adjustment to get to detent mechanism to deliver a repeatable 90 degrees. It was worth the effort as it now quickly comes into square.

You can forget about trying to view the indexing scale with the supplied pointer. For my pointer to be anywhere near where it is supposed to be it has to go all the way back against the indexing pin mechanism. Even then, It is impossible to view the scale head on as the motor lies directly in your line of sight. I'm going to epoxy a small mirror to a block of wood with a triangular cross section then epoxy that to the motor mounting plate. That will allow me to view the scale head on even though I'm viewing it at right angles from the front of the sander. It would have been very easy for Delta to do this or for them to have used a prism mounted in a similar way.

This machine deliveres excellent results when sanding straight edges and that is what it is all about. I like the way the drum covers latch back out of the way so you can sand boards longer than the table. If I didn't have the Grizzly oscillating spindle sander and if the Powermatic had a longer belt and allowed you to latch back its guards, I'd have bought the Powermatic. ... Read more

Consider Another Grinder
I bought one of these to replace a Delta 6in grinder that was stolen a little over a year ago. The 8in grinder seemed like a deal. I do a lot of plane and chisel sharpening and wanted something that would dish out the cutting edge a little less. This it does. However it absolutely stinks otherwise. I bolted it to my bench and it vibrated so badly anything that is on the bench walks itself off no matter how heavy. Not only are the stones not round, but are out of true by at least 1/16 inch! Delta sent me new stones...same problem. I bought new stones...same problem...but less. It turns out that both the stones and the shaft wobble! Delta would not warranty the grinder unless I sent it to them and pay the shipping both ways! This was as much as the cost of the grinder..Not only that, but the clear spark gaurds had huge stickers on them, that when peeled off, left all their adhesive on the gaurd so you couldn't see through them. Water would not remove the adhesive and anything that could, dissolved the plastic as well. Delta sent me new ones...for a different grinder! Delta is off my list for tools as long as they keep having things made in China. I cant image what their other stuff made in China must be like and I'm not willing to take the chance. ... Read more

Really a good chuck but ...
The chuck is really well made and the wrench moves the jaws very smoothly. Unfortunately I have to return it. Not because the chuck has any faults, but rather because the description and the professional reviewer failed to tell me that the jaws are adjusted individually, rather than concentrically with one turning of the wrench. Now that's a good feature if you are working with blanks that need that. But my needs were stricly for round concentric bowl use, and I wanted to be able to ensure the bowl blank was centered with one tightening operation. The picture shows the T-wrench and one adjustment socket. No hint that the chuck has independent adjustments. By the way, the Delta label on the box indicates the independent adjustment. So should Amazon's description.

So, if that's what you need, it is a solid product, just what you'd expect from Delta. That's why I gave it 4 stars. Couldn't give it 5 without actually using it, and since I'm returning it, I couldn't do that. ... Read more
