Amazon.com Product Description
The DELTA 28-475X X5 14-Inch, 1-1/2 HP Woodworking Band saw makes graceful curvilinear cuts and exceptionally smooth straight cuts. The heavy-duty 1-1/2 HP, single-phase motor allows this band saw to reach speeds of 3,000 SFM with either 1/4-inch (included), 3/4-inch (maximum), or 1/8-inch (minimum) wide blades. No matter what size blade you choose, the new quick indexing blade tensioning system keeps the blade tension at optimum levels for more accurate cuts. The large 16 x 16-inch table handles larger stock, and it also tilts 45 degrees right and 9 degrees left for angled cuts. This high performance band saw also sports an integrated four-inch dust port to keep the workspace clean and free of dust and debris.

4.0 out of 5 stars So far so good......, March 29, 2004

This review is from: DELTA 28-475X X5 14-Inch 1-1/2-Horsepower Woodworking Bandsaw, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
After a great deal of studying, reading, looking and touching, I finally bought this saw. I hope this review is of some help to others in the market, the purchase caused me a great number of "sleepless" nights... I highly recommend reading "The Bandsaw Book" by Lonnie Bird (at Amazon for about $14) - it was a great resource and one of the better woodworking books on tools I've purchased.

Overall I think this is an excellent saw. I don't agree with the two gentlemen who only gave it one star. I've only had it a few days but am so far very happy. NO vibration. Runs smoothly and quietly. Switch is fine. I really have no idea how much it weighs; I didn't put it on a scale. I do have some negative comments (below) and will make my final assessment later.

I found the choice boiled down to two saws for me: the Delta X5 and the new Powermatic (made by Jet essentially). I looked at the European saws from Minimax and Laguna but found them to be out of my price range. They are both...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars No problems on mine., January 3, 2004

This review is from: DELTA 28-475X X5 14-Inch 1-1/2-Horsepower Woodworking Bandsaw, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
Shipped in one 280 lb box on a small pallet, so be aware that you may need to ask for lift gate service since the cheapest delivery does not include offloading of items this heavy. Inside the box, the upper assembly is the heaviest piece and will take at least two to lift it safely onto the base cabinet. Despite one review to the contrary, it does weight in at over 260 lb. If you are planning to use a mobile base, put it together first and assemble the saw on it because there are no good handholds to lift this monster.

Assembly and calibration took a few hours. It is quiet and one of the few tools that I can run in the basement that can not be heard on the second floor. The saw did not have any significant vibration and cut very smoothly with the 1/4" blade it shipped with.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Beg to Differ. . ., October 20, 2003

This review is from: DELTA 28-475X X5 14-Inch 1-1/2-Horsepower Woodworking Bandsaw, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
Having read the only review online of this saw, I was a bit reluctant to order. I ordered anyway to keep my shop "pure Delta."

I had the saw shipped 3-day Fedex so that it would be delivered by a truck with a lift gate. Total shipping weight was 280 lbs. Take away the 20 lbs of pallet and cardboard, and what's left is 260 lbs of saw, far more than the other review said it was.

My other concern from reading the sole review was the flatness of the cast iron table (how can cast iron be out of flat unless it was machined that way or run over by a truck?). My table was as flat as I can measure with my machinist's rule. . . . in no place can I even slide a piece of paper under the edge.

Now I'm waiting for the free mobile base to arrive before I assemble the saw, or it will never be moved again. I look forward to completing this review with sawing details once I get sawing!
