Is the Delta 36-725T2 worth it?

For a stationary home shop, yes. You get a 30-inch rip capacity, a reliable T-square fence and an electric brake at a price below most cabinet saws.

How does it compare with the older 36-725?

The T2 adds the electric blade brake and refinements to the fence and guard. The core 15-amp, 1.75 HP motor and 30-inch rip capacity carry over.

Does it need a special circuit?

No. It runs on 120V at 15 amps, so a standard household circuit works, though a dedicated outlet is safer for long rips in hardwood.

What is the maximum cut depth?

It cuts up to 3-1/2 inches deep at 90 degrees with a 10-inch blade. Bevel angle is set with locking adjustment wheels.

Does it come with a stand?

No stand or mobile base is included. Given the 220 lb weight, plan on a sturdy mobile base if you need to move it.

When is the price lowest?

Table saw prices typically dip around major holiday sales and store promotions. The current best is $699 at Lowe's as of November 3.

Our take on the Delta 36-725T2

The Delta 36-725T2 is a 10-inch contractor table saw with a 15-amp, 1.75 HP motor, a 30-inch right rip capacity and a T-square three-point locking rip fence. Its standout feature for a saw at this level is the electric blade brake, which stops the blade quickly after shutdown. It weighs 220 lbs and runs on 120V household power, so it suits a garage or shop rather than a job site. The latest best price is $699 at Lowe's as of November 3.
