I will say I am keeping my fingers crossed I am one of the super majority that have no problems. It has been a great saw… Whisper quiet… As far as saws go, and works perfectly with my dado blade set. Is it perfect? No. But for the price it has good precision and makes cuts that most portable saws cannot do. Does it beat a cabinet level shop saw on durability, nope, but definitely on price. Not to mention the space… And even though it is 200 pounds, it is very easy to move and then lock in place. Yes capacitors are always an issue, especially when you go cheap, but most small engine repair or electronics shops can probably troubleshoot a startup capacitor issue and replace it with a much higher quality Japanese brand, if needed. I do wish the t-square is a little less finnicky, but once you get it adjusted right it's fine. Make sure to follow the set up guide and adjust your blades to ensure complete accuracy. It is not hard to do. Good luck on a well priced contractor saw that can perform work of much more expensive options. Now onto figuring out how to mount the router table on it. I saw previous shots here on that.

FYI - I have the T2 and put it on a dedicated 20 amp circuit to avoid any "undercurrent" situations from damaging the motor. Also added cast iron wings from an old craftsman ($60 on eBay) and mounted my cheap Kobalt router table. Love this saw! The extra weight of the cast iron extension wings increased stability due to the extra weight. One other comment, The dust collection system out of the box sucked! I fixed this with a can of flex seal and tape around al the cracks in the blade chute and some foam in between the chute and the motor. Zero dust on the floor or bottom the saw now!

I just saw a youtube video put out by Delta about the new 36-725t2. I cannot find anything else about it. I noticed they said it has a 15amp motor as opposed to the 13amp in the original.

Does anyone have any other knowledge?

the -T2 version can only run on 120V. It can not be converted to 240V. I just got off the phone with customer service, there is no options available, not even a new motor.

You are correct - I mistakenly referenced the 36-5100T2 manual in my reference, not the 36-725T2. I was quick to click on a picture rather than verify the model number.

Still no, I called Delta today about my 5100T2, and they told me no.

Hello,
Nice looking set up. Is your outfeed table attached to the table saw? If so, would you mind sharing how you attached it? I'm looking to do the same thing, but I haven't decided on how to attach it. Thank you!

Would really love to see the foam you placed between the chute and the motor. Dust collection is one nightmare I’ve had. Considered using the insulating plastic sheet (for windows) but didn’t want to overheat the motor. Thanks!
