Amazon.com Product Description
The DELTA 28-206 Professional 14-Inch 1 HP Woodworking Band Saw, 120-Volt 1 Phase is an ideal tool for hobbyist woodworkers. The 1 HP, 120-volt motor works in harmony with the saw's nine-spoke precision-balanced wheels and cast-iron trunnions to reduce vibrations and create cleaner cuts. The band saw has a throat capacity of 13-3/4 inches and handles stock up to 6-1/4 inches thick. Curve and bevel cutting are simple tasks with the saw's 16-by-16-inch table with 45-degree tilt range to the right and 3-degrees to the left. Fully adjustable upper and lower blade guides support the platinum blade within 3/4-inch of your work surface for accurate cutting. The saw includes a two-speed pulley system, and a rare but highly useful 4-inch integral dust port. A tension-release lever ensures quality blade life when the saw is not operational, and makes switching between blades a quick and easy task. The saw measures 65-1/2 X 31 X 17 inches, weighs 201 pounds, and comes with a 16 by 16-inch operating table.

Summary: Delta 28-206 2008-10-24
Comment: A pretty good saw, but I've had several issues. With the height extension the upper and lower castings were no longer alligned. Delta sent me a whole new upper casting, but I found out through great pain that the two mating surfaces were not machined parallel - I had to shim them. The upper guide bracket which holds the bearing and guide blocks cracked, it's due to a round post in a hex shaped hole. The design is bad and needs to be fixed. I'm still waiting for parts (3 weeks now from Delta) for replacement. The blade guard is poor, I don't think much work was put into this design. Not what I consider typical "old school" Delta, but it's not! Off-shore all the way - I guess that's why it has a relatively good price. No shame to Amazon, they still provide great deals on Delta tools.

Summary: New To Woodwoeking 2007-11-10
Comment: I decided to wait for a year before posting my review. I use Newwoodworking.com for advise and use of all my machines. After following advise from this site, (timberwolf blades and the resaw attachment) I find that it has met all my needs and customer service was excellent. I will continue to buy Delta products. I'm only in my second year of this hobby and have been quite satified with their products. I think all tools will not be everything to everyone. This is one solid performer. Thanks Delta.

Summary: GREAT SAW FOR THE MONEY 2007-04-02
Comment: I have had this saw for about a month now. Assembly was a snap, less than an hour. There are a couple of issues tho.. The stand is not the most stable stand. It is not perfectly level and is a little spongy on the top. I am thinking about a solid plate on the underside of the saw mounts to stiffen the top of the stand. The saw had a bad vibration when assembled. It ended up being 2 problems.
The motor pulley had about 0.030 run out, that along with a balance problem with the motor itself (maybe a loose segment in the rotor) was the cause. I contacted Delta. No problem, I described the problem, the rep asked me to check another item. I did that and called back, told them the pulley was bad and the motor still vibrated when placed on the bench without the pulley. Three (3) days later I had both delivered. Problem solved. It is great when a company actually solves a problem with out a lot of Bull****. I am confident that whatever problem that comes up with a Delta product, they will work to solve it.

Summary: OK but could be better 2007-01-12
Comment: Overall this is a decent saw for the money. It's build quality and design are both decent, not fancy or high-end but functional. I do have a big complaint however: the thing wobbles. When running, the top of the saw moves around by 1/4 to 1/2 inch, enough that the table is moving around while you are pushing the work through. I'm not sure if the problem is a poorly balanced wheel or if it's all in the base. A modest push on the saw gets it wobbling way more than it should. It's so sensitive that I'm not surprised it wobbles when it's on. I tried pushing on one in the store and it was worse! I also tried pushing on a Jet and it was solid. After owning the Delta and looking at the Jet (non-deluxe model) in the store, I must say I like the Delta better. The lower guides are closer to the table and it has a quick release lever.
I haven't contacted Delta yet regarding the wobble but I plan to. I also have an idea how to stiffen the base by adding feet if they don't have a good solution. So the jury is out at this point. I'll update my review when I have news.
UPDATE - Problem resolved
I started spinning things without the blade and without the motor belt on and found the problem. It was the lousy V-belt supplied with the saw! The belt isn't true (would have a gap under part of it when lying on a flat surface), it had a kink. I could see the motor jumping around when it was running and this caused the whole saw to wobble.
I replaced the belt with a link belt ($45!!!) and the wobble is gone. Well almost gone. It's acceptable now but won't win any awards for smoothness. It passes the nickel test, barely. The nickel has to be placed a few times to find a spot it won't fall over. Anyway it's fully usable now. I also noticed the rather significant motor jump on start-up is completely gone with the link belt.
I suggest everyone just replace the belt even if you don't have such a severe problem. It will likely make a noticeable improvement.
I'd be happier if the stand was more stable. My floor isn't 100% flat and I had reduced the wobble by putting some shims under the stand so it seems to be hyper-sensitive to this. I think it would benefit by being bolted to the floor.

Summary: Where are the VIBS? 2007-01-07
Comment: I recently recieved this saw. My wife and I put it together in about an hour(we are both 60). When all was put together we easily aligned the belt with a straight edge tightened the motor mount bolts and guess what? No VIbrations. As far as being made in China that is the way of the world now. In our day everything was made in Japan. Even they are outsourceing to China. I know i recently purchased a Toto toilet (Japanese Co)and it was made in China. Back to the subject at hand. This is a good quiet non vibrating saw.
