On the power side of the equation there are two primary options for the Unisaw: the standard 3 HP motor and an optional 5 HP motor. The worker was using feeler gauges as small as 0.001 inches. During final assembly, I watched with amazement as the worker tested and re-tested the orientation of the blade to the saw assembly. The Unisaw focuses on both of these via three key components, including: American Marathon Motors in 3 HP or 5 HP models, an American-made single-cast trunnion system (which greatly reduces vibrations), and the precision ground cast-iron table top.Īccuracy begins on the assembly line, and that’s where I was very impressed by the attention to detail that was given in calibrating the blade alignment. The top two characteristics that come to my mind when choosing a table saw are accuracy and power. should be a high selling point for many users. The fact that the Unisaw is built here in the U.S. I hope the folks at Delta can expand the factory to allow them to make more of their products here in the United States. Watching a first class piece of machinery like the Unisaw being built by Americans for Americans in a factory in South Carolina was a great experience.
As the pieces moved around the building they were fabricated and finally powder coated before hitting the assembly line. Early in the morning the metal used to build the supporting cabinet was bent and cut from massive sheets of steel. While I was visiting the plant in South Carolina, I got to follow my actual saw as it was built from scratch. The frame and final saw assembly is done in South Carolina before they are shipped all over the world. The Unisaw is over 90% US-made, including motors and cast pieces manufactured in Wisconsin.
Last year I had the pleasure of traveling to Anderson, South Carolina to visit the folks at Delta Machinery to see how they make the Unisaw.
