I knew DeFault was owned by B & D for quite some time; but like everything B & D owns...it seems to be turned into junk.
I own a Pentair-Delta 10" bench grinder. It's a decent machine; but I wish I would have bought the equivalent Jet. However, I've always suspected that Delta was at their best when Rockwell owned them; but that is a guess on my part.
About 3-years ago, a friend of mine was shopping for a 10" table saw for an extremely small shop. He narrowed it down to the Jet SuperSaw and the DeWalt equivalent. At the time, the price was similar; but the Jet is a far superior machine. Better fit, finish, parts, assembly, fence, etc, etc. The DeWalt looked like it was made in a back alley. My friend bought the Jet and is happy with it, except for the miter gauge, He wants to get an Incra 1000SE like mine.
Not that I do much woodworking; but I'd like a SawStop table saw. I have a Grizzly 5"x6" swivel head horizontal bandsaw I am happy with. Jet now sells the same saw with a few more features.
