I`m in the market to buy a new tablesaw soon (out goes the £100 clarke jobbie!).
The 2 choices I`m looking at are the delta and ferm saw stated in the subject title.
The question is this........ induction or not? at the moment the clarke saw that i have is extreamly noisy and vibrates SO much that i have to bolt it to the floor everytime i start it!
the delta is 1.5hp and the ferm is 1100W, so the powers of each saw are roughly the same size, the delta does have a better cut depth, but I`m not sure about the "quietness" of the delta`s dc motor.
The ferm has a 16mm (5/8') arbour and I THINK the delta has the same (I`ve emailed rutlands asking them) but if anyone knows for sure......
anyone got any comments about either saw? is the delta quiet?
I`m tempted towards the delta purely because of the name/build quality.
many thanks to everyone who posts on this forum, I`ve only been a member for a day but already I`ve learnt loads!!
My line of buisness is IC design for the comms industry, but i also build pc s regularly and am qualified in electronic engineering to degree level. If anyone ever has any electrical problems (power tool related or not) I`d be glad to lend advice/help from a technical/theoretical point of view.
