Description of DELTA 28-682 18-Inch 2-Horsepower Woodworking Band Saw with Ball Bearing Guides, 230-Volt 1 Phase
The DELTA 28-682 18-Inch 2 HP Woodworking Band Saw with Ball Bearing Guides is constructed with a 17.5-inch throat and features an impressive 12-inch resaw capacity under its roller guide bearings. The band saw is constructed with a powerful 2 HP, 230-volt single-phase motor that reduce vibrations for cleaner cuts. A patented rapid Release tension lever easily changes blade and adjusts blade tension, with a maximum possible blade width of 1-1/4 inches. It also preserves the integrity of the blade while the machine is not in operation. Curve and bevel cutting are simple tasks with the saw's 17-3/4-by-18-inch cast-iron table. The multi-locking table stands approximately 41-inches tall, tilts up to 49-degrees to the left and 8-degrees to the right, and comes with extension wings. Fully adjustable upper and lower blade guides support the platinum blade for accurate cutting.The saw includes a two-speed pulley system, 18-inch cast-iron wheels, polyurethane compound tires, a rip fence with guide bar, and rare but highly useful dual 4-inch integral dust ports. Blade guides, wrenches, and wheel brushes are also included.

Customer Review: Best Bang for the Buck!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this saw a couple months ago before Amazon was carrying them. Did much comparison shopping between brands and decided that this saw had all others in its class beat by far, at least on specifications. Now that I've had the time to get familiar with the beast, I'm happy to say that my expectations have been exceeded!A concern I had before buying was the blade sizes Delta says the saw will accomodate....1/2 to 1 1/4.... this worried me since I wanted a saw that would cut a tighter radius than a 1/2" blade will allow. Spoke to my blade dealer and he thought I should have no problem with 1/4.... He was right! The thinner blade tracks as easily as the 1/2 and with no deflection.
Advantages versus closest competion? Two full horsepower with dual capacitor motor which draws only an amazing 8.6 amps, 12" resaw capacity, very comfortable working height, 400 lbs with heavy cast iron wheels and quality tires, dual dust ports make for a very clean machine, quick tension release and easy to use tension adjustment, carter style bearings, useful table extender, pre-wired for 230.
Saw runs smooth as silk with plenty of resaw power. Plus it's just a beautiful beast to look at! Could not be more pleased two months into the game!
