2010 platinum edition Unisaw.

Saw this earlier



another view

Beis fence too



there is a slight issue however



I think Aram was very very lucky..

It appears the problem stemed from the use of a dado blades and/or a molding head.

No matter I would not have wanted to be there when it turned loose

I finally found something to truly be afraid of, and it is these saws

At the very least be aware....

I don't think that is a 2010...maybe it's a typo... 2000 or 2001 is probably more like it. That era of saw is late 90's early 2000's IIRC.

I have a '98 (IIRC) Grand Edition (white) that is very similar to the Platinum Edition that is shown. I also have a '05 that is similar but has some obvious differences to the one shown. HTH

In any case not good.

This post creates more questions than answers. Pat Warner's posts are less cryptic.

for the challenged :

Saw arbor broke..... on pacific rim knockoff TS

HTH

I have not kept up with dating schedules since late the last century so it may well be.

if you wanna see more..... eventually this link will be deleted

Being that the one shown is right tilt, a replacement arbor bracket on the used market should be easy to come by for $100-$150 off of Ebay.

I know this wasn't where you were going but ... $300 for the saw and another $150 for the arbor bracket equals a great saw for that price. LOL

I don't think I am inclined to agree.

those castings are not usa made.

even if the company and the literature say different...

IIRC...that era saw was identified as Made in USA (like my '98 Grand White Edition)... later eras (like my '05) changed the identification to Made in the USA of Foreign and Domestic parts. It's plausible that the one pictured is also like the later eras, Made in the USA of Foreign and Domestic parts but I'm uncertain on that as being a fact. IIRC Delta during those years never made it 100% clear when and what parts was actually being made in the USA vs. what was being imported. In any case that saw was labeled as "Made in the USA". In fact, in one of the images you can see a decal of an American flag/Made in the USA.

I talked to him, and he agrees.

A dado stack took out my arbor threads a few years ago. Just the threads, no major shrapnel. That's bad enough. But this? No thanks....

That saw is identical to the one I had (except for the fence), it was a 2001 model, and USA made.
