Great video! Found it after assembling mine. Biggest complaint is the poor markings on the hardware bags. Assembly instructions refer to sizes and their are no sizes to correspond on the bag, good thing I have a bolt size tool.
The instructions say to put the 3 hex bolts to attach right wing to cast iron table. The holes are in different positions on the wing and neither side will allow you to get the wing flush with the table. Jesse here skips that step .
@@christopherdekonstrukt444 Lmao dude you installed the wings backwards then. The holes on each side of the wing are different if you look at them. Only one side of each wing lines up with the table holes. I made the same mistake but then common sense told me to check that. Smh
My wood shop is in my basement and though its had a little water get in on the floor during heavy rains it wasnt proned to flooding. This may we had a huge storm come through dumping 3.5" of rain on us and knocking out our power. My sup pump couldn't work and I ended up with 4ft if water in my basement. 2 days later with our power back on I knew all my equipment was ruined. My table saw top was covered in rust,but thankfully it still ran ok. I had to lightly sand and relax the top,but it survived. A testament to it's high quality
Almost perfect except show visually the nuts, bolts and screws on camera ( close up) because its a waste of time finding the corresponding ones for the different assembly parts. The written drawings on the manual are too vague.
Could you guys do a video on alignment? The biggest thing which is unaddressed in the owners manual is blade alignment. Mine was not parallel out of the box. I did get the pp file from custom care. Looks easy but it’s also not up to date with the new model and a video would really be helpful! Thanks!!
I bought this saw from Lowes. I saw all the bad reviews about the motor burning up and I joined a facebook group for 36-725T2 owners. While I was waiting for my saw to arrive 3 people in the group had saws arrive and they put them together, but they all failed within a day. So I canceled my saw purchase. I talked to a Delta rep and he said motor problem was fixed. So these 3 must have purchased old stock. So I am going to wait a year or so before I purchase this saw. For the price this is an incredible saw. I just cannot afford it to break on me and then I have nothing. I am wanting a saw I can pass down to my son.
I've seen reports online that this is likely a combination of two things: 1) burnout due to insufficient power being supplied to the motor (poor electrical power at outlet; thin extension cord bringing power to the saw); or 2) saw motor shutting off if fed to quickly, for which there is a 5-10 minute cool down time and a hard reset needed
I bought one of these at Lowe’s yesterday and had many many problems with it. Basically the blade was stuck to the surrounding parts and would not spin. Also the all thread underneath would bottom out before allowing it to be 0 degrees. Then the blade was not even close to lining up with the insert and the insert would not go on. I think the product may have been damaged in shipping because the whole motor, and blade set up was way off. I did take it back to Lowes and exchanged it for another one. So far this one has not had any of the issues the first one did.
Even though the 2 Lowes closest to me were out based on online and calling, I went to one of the Lowes and looked in the rafters and found one. Happy Day! Hope everyone can find it.
Work, life, etc got in the way but ours assembled. Not too challenging. The video helped but would be nice if the nuts, bolts, etc were labeled better. Also advise people to line up the wings with the table saw holes before securing to front and back rails. Otherwise you might put them on backwards.
I just bought this table saw at Loews yesterday in NJ it’s an amazing saw I’m about to put it together this afternoon I got the Loews credit card and saved 20% off the $699.00 so after tax I spent under $600 I can’t complain at all I know one thing,, this is a heavy ass saw,, weighing in at over 200 pounds the box says 207lbs but it feels more like 220 lol and my old lady is about 115-125 so I was on my own I brought my wheel barrow over to the truck and slid it on top of that and wheeled it into my garage lol
Heavy usage of my 36-725 for over a year, and few complaints. Great product! Only thing - why is the rear rail shorter than the front one. It would be easier to slap an extension onto the right side of the table if they were the same length.
I purchased this a couple months ago as my first ever table saw. I like it a lot, but would like to know where I can get cast iron wings to replace the stamped steel. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
@@bobparisi6098 I haven't contacted them regarding this. I am having difficulty getting them to respond to an issue with the saw not starting which seems to be an issue with a capacitor. I am leary of buying anything from Delta again.
I was looking at buying an abused, older model on marketplace just to get the cast iron wings. Not 100% sure they would fit and the holes would line up though.
Looking to upgrade to this saw. However, I’ve seen several comments elsewhere stating that the floor to table height is nearly 37 inches yet the specs say 31. Which is it? I’m short and that table height would be unsafe for me.
I drove to Oklahoma to pick up my 36-725t2. Lowes must be offloading the model or another revision is going to be released. Thank you for the video, I put it together and ran a dedicated outlet this afternoon. Squaring blade/fence tonight so I can start slinging chips tomorrow!
I checked the inventory several times a day until I found one at a Lowe's an hour away, so I snagged it today. It fit easily in my VW golf hatchback. (which was a big reason I considered purchasing). Have not unboxed yet, but Delta Machinery if you're listening I already have some constructive criticism. First, some handles built into the box would work wonders. Second, I set it down briefly on some damp pavement, and now my hands are all blue. Not sure if anything can be done about that but your box is not very colorfast. ...okay, now I'm off to go get it set up.
Video mentions which hardware packet to use, but the instructions don’t. Seems like an oversight. Also the table extensions have different height holes on the sides to line up with the table holes. Knowing that would have saved me from having to reinstall one side. Overall the machine work is nice, but the table sides had to be relieved because they were pretty sharp. Overall squareness was good. Super happy so far! Can hardly wait to put it through the paces.
How do you adjust the alignment of the blade? Mine is a hair out of alignment with the miter slot and I can't find anything in the manual about adjusting it. Thanks.
ive seen the video on adjusting the riving knife but how do you remove or lower it for passing through parts that have just been rabbeted and not completely cut through?
my fence guides are not flush with each other. When the small end of the left fence guide is inserted into the large end of the right rail guide (4:46 in the video) there is about a 1/32 or 1/64 step at the seam. I can true up the fence but when it slides far enough to the left for the leftmost fence pad to ride onto the left piece of the fence guide then the fence is out of square. I have loosened the left fence guide but there is zero play. My only solution is to repeatedly adjust and true up the fence every time I make a cut that causes the fence pad to cross that seam.
I just got this saw a couple days ago, and started putting the stand together. Boy, the shoulder on those carriage bolts are almost not there. So I flipped the stand to align it into the legs, and lo and behold there were no holes for the bolts! I had to get my LED headlamp and magnifier to finally see there were small squares of some stiff material covering the back and front of each hole. And since they were painted over, they were virtually impossible to see. I used a razor blade to scrape them off, then realized these squares were going to be on the inside legs as well, the ones I had just pounded the stand legs into. I'm a 5"2" 68 yo female, and I had to climb up onto saw base to get enough vertical leverage to pull the stand up and out. Just saying, it would have been nice to know about those squares before I put the stand together. Next, tilting the saw right side up, using a multiple-pulley system.
Anyone else not able to fit their rear rail edge nut on because the tube was in the way? When your facing the saw, the rear right threaded hole on the cast iron is threaded right into the frame. The only way the bolt & nut is going to fit is if I drill the tube.
How tall is the 36-725T2 floor to work surface? Spec says 31'' but all the video's I've seen (including this one) look taller next to the people doing the demo's. I'm trying to match up a table saw and outfeed table at around 36'' like a normal counter top.
Do you have an exploded diagram on how the anti-kickback pawl goes together? I required a cut that necessitated removing the guards and riving knife and the pawl assembly came apart and I can't figure how to put it back together.
I just bought Model #36-725T2, I'm disappointed it's not 220 volts, there is any way to convert it to 220 volts, I called the technical department so far they didn't call me back?
I'm looking at the other model of this saw that has a 52in rip but can't find out if it can be set up as a basic 30in when the extension isn't need. The bigger 1 is on sale rt now but dont want it taking up extra space when not necessary??
I'll add to the other comments about the hardware being labeled improperly. I'm almos comeplete on setup and have the spreader bar left and I'm missing a 3 of the bolts to put that on with. Suggestions? I'm sure I have some in the wrong place but I'm not sure which ones.
I just finished up assembly on one of these today. Nice table saw. My question is, I have a pretty large set screw, not sure of the size but it's close to 3/8" X 1-1/4" long. Can not find it on the parts list or diagram. A leftover part from another unit???
Found the screws! part no. DPEC006127. The set screws go into the holes above the adjustable feet. I believe they are to hold the feet at the level you adjust them to by screwing down onto the adjusted foot 's screw to keep them tight. Just my guess.
Anybody have instructions on how to align the blade with the miter slots on this particular saw? Tried to fix mine today cause it was pinch at back of the blade and ended up breaking the front support bracket…. 🤦🏼♂️ only a $25 part but still an absolute headache to swap out. Going to be a day or two project for sure. Fingers crossed I don’t have to call a professional to come fix it because i am not that and reassembling the motor to the table without knowing exactly how kinda worries me but I am mechanically inclined so I am going to give it my best shot.
6:40 Watched, Round 2. Bought one today. Setup did not go well. Nothing is level. Maybe, i have to redo. Turning on the saw triggered the power tripper in the Garage, the very first time.
There is a Kobalt router table that lowe's sells that fits perfectly between the rails, but you just need to flip the spreader bar over. I just picked up this saw and plan on assembling with spreader bar upside down to save time later when I add the table.
Not a fan of the two piece square fence guide. The fence has enough leverage to bend it slightly where they are joined and it's almost impossible to get the fence parallel to the blade.I ended up at my local steel supplier and replaced it with one longer piece of square tube.
Can you send them the four flat head screws for attaching the right extension wing? They weren't included in with the other hardware, and I really need them. Also, the power control box cannot hang with just two screws without two nuts to go with them. I need the nuts to hold the screws. (Am I missing something?) Also, the right side locking wheel doesn't lock. How is this supposed to work? Please help me out here.
Well I ordered a model 36-5100T2 from Home Depot (on line) which is supposed to be arriving tomorrow. I was pretty excited about getting it, but now after having read the multiple comments about the motor failing, I am concerned. I am replacing a 22 yo Ridgid table saw which never had any issues. I sure hope I have not made a bad choice here.
Hi my name is Alex I just put my saw together however my fence still doesn’t slide smoothly and my lowering wheel doesn’t stay down when I try to move it. Any ideas that can help?!
Just assembled this today. Aside from adjusting the rip saw ruler mark, everything was perfectly dialed in. However, as I was adjusting the height of the throat plate, I noticed that there's a huge (1/16") dip in the cast iron right in front of the throat plate! What do I do about this?
Same 1/16”+ dip in my table. Just purchased yesterday. Will be calling the company. A few thousands off is one thing but over 1/16”! Come on quality control…wake up.
Would have been nice to actually see the saw on the shelf available to purchase. Waited 2 months for Lowe's and Delta to figure it out. Gave up and got the Ridgid r4512.
@Mama C It's a nice heavy table saw. Still cuts square. No issues yet! About a month after I got it, I got a dado set and they have an insert as well as other parts on Amazon available. Only thing I don't like is the dust collection on the bottom.
What are the dimensions of the saw 1) height 2) width and 3) depth.. I’m trying to make sure I can fit in my garage in a certain spot I’d need it to fit to store.
Just bought one of these and I can’t wait to try her out. Two questions came up during assembly. The back right leg is positioned directly behind the screw hole. Therefore my screw hits the leg before it’s all the way flush. Is there a shorter screw out of package D that I’m supposed to use? Secondly the right screw hole on the union plate is not as countersinked as the one on the left. Therefore, my right screw is not flush with the front rail. Is this an issue or merely cosmetic?
Can you tell me what you did to fix the bolt hitting the back right leg, because I am experiencing the same issue, is a different bolt supposed to be used? Thanks
@@Heff162 Same issue. What did you do to fix it? Instructions are not clear. Also, am I supposed to put a lock washer and nut in that corner? The hole is threaded so the instructions are misleading.
@@shawnoneal8615 I unfortunately do not remember what I did exactly because I bought mine 6 months ago but I believe I was using the wrong bolt, but I can assure you that I was able to figure out without having to buy any other pieces or use any other parts, the directions were pretty crap but I was able to assemble it with the pieces they include after I messed with it for a while. Sorry I don’t have a better answer, hope that helps
Same problem. Bolt runs into right back leg, no room for washer or nut. I tightened the bolt, since the opening was threaded, but I'm hoping it doesn't vibrate out.
Would love to get one, but every Lowe’s in my state and our neighboring three states is out of stock! Delta really needs to work on their supply chain. Replies by Delta say Lowe's should have them by early May, if they don't appear by that time, I'm going with another brand, probably a Saw Stop.
The 36-725T2 should have been recalled for defective run and start capacitors, motor brake pad failure, etc. Intentionally selling faulty power tools could lead to a class action suit.
I want to know if Delta 36-725T2 table saw can be run on 220v, we normally have 220v electricity here so is ok to use 220v connection or will I have to buy a step down voltage transformer converter? Please share me some info.
He goes over it pretty quick, but the anti-kickback pawl has a small silver button on the side that is pushed in to lock the pawl onto the riving knife.
Mine came apart and I can't figure out where the snap ring goes. Without it the assembly won't stay together; the spring loaded silver bar that locks on the riving knife will just drop out. I'll send pictures to tech support when they respond to my inquiry. The user manual assumes your anti-kickback pawl assembly is already together and is no help.
More impressive Machine in design products than Dewalt. Are there any rail adjusting tool, problems from customers . I'm impressed with the H/D looking Table Saw Fence.
Has anyone tried using a Makita blade with this saw? I just got this table saw and I tried installing a Makita blade on mine but noticed that it catches on the mount for the riving knifes. The Makita blades are 255mm but the stock blade is 254mm. This is the first saw that I have seen that the 1mm actually makes a difference. I'm just glad that I realized that it would catch before I tried running the saw.
I just kept checking back with the local Lowe’s stores. Took about 2 weeks and I found one about 20 miles away. Couldn’t pick up from the store, had to have it delivered per website. Will put together this coming weekend. Good luck!
My dad bought this saw in June. He said it smoked the first time he fired it up, turned it off right away. Then he passed away suddenly a couple weeks later. I just went over to check it out and do some work for my mom, and it runs, but has a slight electrical burn smell. Is this the issue with the motor people are talking about? If it can be adjusted or something, I don't want to burn it out completely. The date of manufacture is 05/2020. Also, I cannot find the receipt, and his credit cards were all cancelled by the bank after he passed. If it needs warranty work, is it even possible? Thanks.
Kori sorry for your lost may he Rest In Peace. My father is in hospice right now doing to the virus out there praying he keeps fighting and pushes through. As far as the table saw goes. If you know where your father made the purchase for instance if from Lowe’s or Home Depot, you can take the card up there and they will be able to bring it up If it was purchased with the card. They’ll print out a recipe
@@Goose8219 Thank you. It was especially hard due to the sudden nature. He had cancer, but it was his heart that finally gave out after a long fight. I am keeping your father in my prayers. As for the saw, I think I'll just get a new motor for it as I don't know where he got it. But thank you.
Anyone have trouble with the throat plate?...... instructions say it should set flush with the table top, mine is about 1/16 “ below, and the set screws set above the table top therefore my workpieces catch, all the instructions say is adjust with the 4 set screws, well they are adjusted down as far as they can go & still my workpiece catches?? HELP 😫😫
Did the problems with motor burnout/overheating get solved? I want to buy one, but I'm finding MANY reports/videos of motor issues. (although warranty support is reportedly very good)

Purchased the 36-725T2 today and assembled it. There is an extra all thread bolt in the packaging and nothing in the assembly instructions regarding it.
I am disappointed. You did not show how to install the riving knife. Let me explain the issue I am having. The lever that locks the riving knife is in the horizontal position. it's as if it's installed. I try to lift it and it does not move. I cannot install the riving knife. I hope you understand what I am saying. signed help please.
I baught a 36 5152T2 and started putting it together today. And I got no rails for the fence and no one would answer the customer service phone number.
@@flyalaska1973 Yeah, Lowe's has an exclusive right to market/sell this saw at the present time. Question: Do they also now have an exclusive to sell the DeWalt DWS779, 12 inch sliding saw? I can't find it on Amazon or at Home Depot.
Lowe's. But you don't want one. You're going to wish that you had never heard of a Delta table saw soon after you buy one. And Delta will not make it good.
I bought this saw from Lowe's in 2017. I moved out-of-state and cannot figure out why the lift wheel mechanism no longer works properly. I have the adjustable feet screwed in all the way. When I press down of the pedal it lifts that side of the saw, but when I take my foot off the pedal it drops the side back down on the adjustable feet. Nothing is bent or twisted. Hopefully somebody can help me resolve the problem.

Tou didn’t mention how to adjust the fence to make it square with the blade cause the last saw i got a few years back wasn’t square and I got to mess with the fence to make it so, also when is this saw gonna be in stores and whats the pricepoint?
@deltamachinery got the new t2 installing it everything looks great only thing is the instructions both here and in the manual are pretty bad. At 2:56 you say "use the slot in the supplied gage to insure the rail is the proper distance to the table" but no where does it state what that means. The gage has a 1/4 gap do you align it to the bottom part, the top or the middle? Also the hardware is labeled a,b,c,d etc.. but that's for the entire bag there are several components in each bag. Simple fix slap stickers a1, b2, etc. And the video is so vague with the setup and half the time the camera is being blocked by the dudes hands so we can not only not see what screw he is using but its just lazy. Lol sorry for ripping into you guys the saw is awesome but damn go hire the manual writer from ikea lol. Frustrating when you spend 600+ bucks
Thanks you for the feedback. For the gauge, in the middle of the slot is proper, but the gauge allows for the little play and it will still be setup properly. For the hardware bags, I will let Quality Control know of the mix up. Thank you!
I also have had trouble with the gauge and it is a disappointing issue for a tablesaw many people will be buying specifically for its accuracy. after about 2 hours of fiddling I found this post but no mention of the allowance in the video or the quick assembly guide nor what to do if its incorrectly spaced.
Take it to a welder. For $30 they can weld and grind it, ensuring it's flat and secure without that weaker section. Did that on a previous model (did the welding myself) and it worked great.
I just bought this three days ago and put it together, weren't you suppose to screw the left and right wing to the cast iron top? Lol i forgot to do this myself, I was wondering when I had 6 screws with lock nuts left over.
I legit just bought the older version today at lowes, only to find out the newer one is coming and the same price. @deltamachinery when will lowes have these in stock!

I have the previous model 36-725 that I bought just as the T2 version was being introduced. My saw has been working great, no issues.
Just picked mine up this morning! Getting started with assembly now! Wish me luck!
Mark Christianson how’d it go man?
Almost perfect except show visually the nuts, bolts and screws on camera ( close up) because its a waste of time finding the corresponding ones for the different assembly parts. The written drawings on the manual are too vague.
If they are pre-drilled holes, with no play up or down, how exactly am I supposed to adjust anything with the gauge?
Could you guys do a video on alignment? The biggest thing which is unaddressed in the owners manual is blade alignment. Mine was not parallel out of the box. I did get the pp file from custom care.

Do you want the top or the bottom of the slot on the rail gauge to ensure that the rails are lined up correctly?
did you ever find an answer to this? currently assembling one of these and its absurd they do not provide this information
Even though the 2 Lowes closest to me were out based on online and calling, I went to one of the Lowes and looked in the rafters and found one. Happy Day! Hope everyone can find it.

Same. Finally found one and was on clearance for $616 US.
I agree with some of the comments below... package the hardware in a more user friendly way.
After assembly, it's ready to cut your fingers off. You need a section on properly adjusting it. A tool list would be cool, too.

So I flipped the stand to align it into the legs, and lo and behold there were no holes for the bolts! I had to get my LED headlamp and magnifier to finally see there were small squares of some stiff material covering the back and front of each hole. And since they were painted over, they were virtually impossible to see. I used a razor blade to scrape them off, then realized these squares were going to be on the inside legs as well, the ones I had just pounded the stand legs into. I'm a 5"2" 68 yo female, and I had to climb up onto saw base to get enough vertical leverage to pull the stand up and out. Just saying, it would have been nice to know about those squares before I put the stand together. Next, tilting the saw right side up, using a multiple-pulley system.
Anyone else not able to fit their rear rail edge nut on because the tube was in the way? When your facing the saw, the rear right threaded hole on the cast iron is threaded right into the frame. The only way the bolt & nut is going to fit is if I drill the tube.
Same issue here. What to do
I know this is an old video but i have this same problem! Did either of you find a fix or did it need to be returned?
How tall is the 36-725T2 floor to work surface? Spec says 31'' but all the video's I've seen (including this one) look taller next to the people doing the demo's. I'm trying to match up a table saw and outfeed table at around 36'' like a normal counter top.
Also looking for this info. Any luck, Ron?
Just bought one of these. One of the bolts to hold the table extension was missing. How can I get one?
Do you have an exploded diagram on how the anti-kickback pawl goes together? I required a cut that necessitated removing the guards and riving knife and the pawl assembly came apart and I can't figure how to put it back together.
Nobody ever responds here, my bad, I'll contact tech support. The anti-kickback pawl assembly came apart upon removal.
I just bought Model #36-725T2, I'm disappointed it's not 220 volts, there is any way to convert it to 220 volts, I called the technical department so far they didn't call me back?
I’m sure you could but the motor is 15 amps and I don’t think it would benefit much because it’s only as powerful as the motor.
I'm looking at the other model of this saw that has a 52in rip but can't find out if it can be set up as a basic 30in when the extension isn't need. The bigger 1 is on sale rt now but dont want it taking up extra space when not necessary??
Is the pedal to lift the saw support to stay in place when moving? I find I need to keep my foot pressed on the pedal to move it.
I'll add to the other comments about the hardware being labeled improperly. I'm almos comeplete on setup and have the spreader bar left and I'm missing a 3 of the bolts to put that on with. Suggestions? I'm sure I have some in the wrong place but I'm not sure which ones.
The blade is not aligned to the miter slot. I need instructions or video on this process!
Great video. I only wish I had seen it BEFORE I used the instruction booklet to try assembly.
Mine is being delivered on the 7th. Does this need a dedicated 20A breaker and outlet? If so I'll look up an electrician. Thank you.
Can the T2 be mounted in a workbench without the legs?
I just finished up assembly on one of these today. Nice table saw. My question is, I have a pretty large set screw, not sure of the size but it's close to 3/8" X 1-1/4" long. Can not find it on the parts list or diagram. A leftover part from another unit???
I had 2 left over. can not find any info on where they go, or what they are for.
I bought this saw a week ago and assembled it today. Was pretty smooth except for the 2 large set screws left over. Again, what are they for?
Found the screws! part no. DPEC006127. The set screws go into the holes above the adjustable feet. I believe they are to hold the feet at the level you adjust them to by screwing down onto the adjusted foot 's screw to keep them tight. Just my guess.
Good instructions thank you 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Anybody have instructions on how to align the blade with the miter slots on this particular saw? Tried to fix mine today cause it was pinch at back of the blade and ended up breaking the front support bracket…. 🤦🏼♂️ only a $25 part but still an absolute headache to swap out. Going to be a day or two project for sure. Fingers crossed I don’t have to call a professional to come fix it because i am not that and reassembling the motor to the table without knowing exactly how kinda worries me but I am mechanically inclined so I am going to give it my best shot.
6:40 Watched, Round 2. Bought one today. Setup did not go well. Nothing is level. Maybe, i have to redo.
Turning on the saw triggered the power tripper in the Garage, the very first time.
also is there a cover plate available to accomodate a dado stack?
Sometimes I see people with the spreader bar installed upside down. Does this change anything besides not giving a surface level with the tabletop?
There is a Kobalt router table that lowe's sells that fits perfectly between the rails, but you just need to flip the spreader bar over. I just picked up this saw and plan on assembling with spreader bar upside down to save time later when I add the table.
Not a fan of the two piece square fence guide. The fence has enough leverage to bend it slightly where they are joined and it's almost impossible to get the fence parallel to the blade.I ended up at my local steel supplier and replaced it with one longer piece of square tube.
Just ordered mine tonight. What is the dust collection port size? Im assuming im going to need a reducer from a 4" flex pipe from my dust collector.
Where did you order it from if you don’t mind me asking?
@@MrMlozano79 Lowe's sells them either in-store or on-line. SJT
Steve T thank you
Can you send them the four flat head screws for attaching the right extension wing? They weren't included in with the other hardware, and I really need them. Also, the power control box cannot hang with just two screws without two nuts to go with them. I need the nuts to hold the screws. (Am I missing something?) Also, the right side locking wheel doesn't lock. How is this supposed to work? Please help me out here.
Well I ordered a model 36-5100T2 from Home Depot (on line) which is supposed to be arriving tomorrow. I was pretty excited about getting it, but now after having read the multiple comments about the motor failing, I am concerned. I am replacing a 22 yo Ridgid table saw which never had any issues. I sure hope I have not made a bad choice here.
This is a Pos. Should of saved a $150 more for the Ridgid
Hi my name is Alex I just put my saw together however my fence still doesn’t slide smoothly and my lowering wheel doesn’t stay down when I try to move it. Any ideas that can help?!
Standing in the back of the tablesaw the left side, the longer side rail the screw hits the leg anyone else have issues with that???
Just assembled this today. Aside from adjusting the rip saw ruler mark, everything was perfectly dialed in. However, as I was adjusting the height of the throat plate, I noticed that there's a huge (1/16") dip in the cast iron right in front of the throat plate! What do I do about this?
Same 1/16”+ dip in my table. Just purchased yesterday. Will be calling the company. A few thousands off is one thing but over 1/16”! Come on quality control…wake up.
Should mention. Mine dip is all the way from the front to the back of the table, not just in front of the plate.
They are made like this on purpose
@@gcolovich3393 No they're not. I contacted support, and it was way out of spec.
Would have been nice to actually see the saw on the shelf available to purchase. Waited 2 months for Lowe's and Delta to figure it out. Gave up and got the Ridgid r4512.
@Mama C It's a nice heavy table saw. Still cuts square. No issues yet! About a month after I got it, I got a dado set and they have an insert as well as other parts on Amazon available. Only thing I don't like is the dust collection on the bottom.
When will we see the video of comparisons between this and the original?
We are finishing up now. Should be up this week!
@@deltamachinerytools34 why is it so difficult to find the newer 36-725 T2 in any Lowes?
What are the dimensions of the saw 1) height 2) width and 3) depth.. I’m trying to make sure I can fit in my garage in a certain spot I’d need it to fit to store.
Height: 43"
Width: 63"
Depth: 33"
You can save 6" on the height if you remove the blade guard and anti-kickback pawl before storage
Just bought one of these and I can’t wait to try her out. Two questions came up during assembly. The back right leg is positioned directly behind the screw hole. Therefore my screw hits the leg before it’s all the way flush. Is there a shorter screw out of package D that I’m supposed to use? Secondly the right screw hole on the union plate is not as countersinked as the one on the left. Therefore, my right screw is not flush with the front rail. Is this an issue or merely cosmetic?
Never mind on the back right leg. I just needed to read the instructions.
Can you tell me what you did to fix the bolt hitting the back right leg, because I am experiencing the same issue, is a different bolt supposed to be used? Thanks
@@Heff162 Same issue. What did you do to fix it? Instructions are not clear. Also, am I supposed to put a lock washer and nut in that corner? The hole is threaded so the instructions are misleading.
@@shawnoneal8615 I unfortunately do not remember what I did exactly because I bought mine 6 months ago but I believe I was using the wrong bolt, but I can assure you that I was able to figure out without having to buy any other pieces or use any other parts, the directions were pretty crap but I was able to assemble it with the pieces they include after I messed with it for a while. Sorry I don’t have a better answer, hope that helps
Same problem. Bolt runs into right back leg, no room for washer or nut. I tightened the bolt, since the opening was threaded, but I'm hoping it doesn't vibrate out.
Would love to get one, but every Lowe’s in my state and our neighboring three states is out of stock!
Delta really needs to work on their supply chain. Replies by Delta say Lowe's should have them by early May, if they don't appear by that time, I'm going with another brand, probably a Saw Stop.
The 36-725T2 should have been recalled for defective run and start capacitors, motor brake pad failure, etc. Intentionally selling faulty power tools could lead to a class action suit.
It should have led to one already.
I'm having issues buying this saw. I checked a bunch of Lowes near me but they don't have it. Can I buy direct from Delta?
No, call delta, leaneve in NC is the only other supplier. I called today, 740.00 plus $100 shipping.
We do not sell direct, but we are expecting Lowes to have a lot more available by early May.
I'm looking to get a newer shop style saw and really like the Deltas. Is it possible to get the rails in one piece.
Supposedly yes, you can buy a one piece version on Amazon
I want to know if Delta 36-725T2 table saw can be run on 220v, we normally have 220v electricity here so is ok to use 220v connection or will I have to buy a step down voltage transformer converter? Please share me some info.
I don't believe so
Not available for in store or online purchase at any Lowe's in south Texas... still waiting weeks and nothing happens.
Josue Martz we are expecting a lot more stores to have them early May!
He goes over it pretty quick, but the anti-kickback pawl has a small silver button on the side that is pushed in to lock the pawl onto the riving knife.
Mine came apart and I can't figure out where the snap ring goes. Without it the assembly won't stay together; the spring loaded silver bar that locks on the riving knife will just drop out. I'll send pictures to tech support when they respond to my inquiry. The user manual assumes your anti-kickback pawl assembly is already together and is no help.
@@christopherdekonstrukt444 I took some pictures if you want me to drop them to your email
More impressive Machine in design products than Dewalt. Are there any rail adjusting tool, problems from customers . I'm impressed with the H/D looking Table Saw Fence.
Does this saw accommodate a dato stack?
Yes it does
Yep. Long thread in there.
What's the difference between the 725t2 and 5100t2?
I believe the 5100 has cast iron wings. Not sure what else is different
Is there an easy way the saw body could be securely bolted down to a custom outfeed work bench rather than attaching to the mobile base?
The rear rails have some unused holes or I suppose you could drill some additional ones to attach an outfeed table.
My cast iron top is warped and not just a little bit, come to find out it is a common problem for this saw
Has anyone tried using a Makita blade with this saw? I just got this table saw and I tried installing a Makita blade on mine but noticed that it catches on the mount for the riving knifes. The Makita blades are 255mm but the stock blade is 254mm. This is the first saw that I have seen that the 1mm actually makes a difference. I'm just glad that I realized that it would catch before I tried running the saw.
Where can I purchase this version? It's always unavailable at Lowes and I can't find any other stores that sell it..
Try Home Depot, see my reply to the above
There is also a place in NC Jeff at Leneave 800-442-2302
I just kept checking back with the local Lowe’s stores. Took about 2 weeks and I found one about 20 miles away. Couldn’t pick up from the store, had to have it delivered per website. Will put together this coming weekend. Good luck!
We are expecting a lot more available at Lowes in early May! Thank you for your patience!
@@deltamachinerytools34 Hm... it's now January 2021 and the stock on these things at Lowe's is still nearly non-existent...
I want to purchase this saw but cannot find one anywhere. Does anyone know when they will be available again?
Lowes
would you make a 2nd video for dialing the blade?
The blade is not aligned to the miter slot.
can you use dado blades on this table saw? Also what is the difference between this saw and the 5000 model
yes. just get the dado insert/throat plate
When will these be in stock again?
Is it possible to convert 220V?
Not sure if the motor is dual voltage
My dad bought this saw in June. He said it smoked the first time he fired it up, turned it off right away. Then he passed away suddenly a couple weeks later. I just went over to check it out and do some work for my mom, and it runs, but has a slight electrical burn smell.
Is this the issue with the motor people are talking about? If it can be adjusted or something, I don't want to burn it out completely. The date of manufacture is 05/2020. Also, I cannot find the receipt, and his credit cards were all cancelled by the bank after he passed. If it needs warranty work, is it even possible? Thanks.
Kori sorry for your lost may he Rest In Peace. My father is in hospice right now doing to the virus out there praying he keeps fighting and pushes through. As far as the table saw goes. If you know where your father made the purchase for instance if from Lowe’s or Home Depot, you can take the card up there and they will be able to bring it up If it was purchased with the card. They’ll print out a recipe
@@Goose8219 Thank you. It was especially hard due to the sudden nature. He had cancer, but it was his heart that finally gave out after a long fight. I am keeping your father in my prayers. As for the saw, I think I'll just get a new motor for it as I don't know where he got it. But thank you.
Anyone have trouble with the throat plate?...... instructions say it should set flush with the table top, mine is about 1/16 “ below, and the set screws set above the table top therefore my workpieces catch, all the instructions say is adjust with the 4 set screws, well they are adjusted down as far as they can go & still my workpiece catches?? HELP 😫😫
Did the problems with motor burnout/overheating get solved? I want to buy one, but I'm finding MANY reports/videos of motor issues. (although warranty support is reportedly very good)
My rails didn't come numbered.. So you tutorial wasn't helpful at all.
Are the trunnions attached to table or cabinet?
Table.
How do you adjust the blade alignment? My back blade is at least a cm off from the front after running a combination square through the miter slot.

Purchased the 36-725T2 today and assembled it. There is an extra all thread bolt in the packaging and nothing in the assembly instructions regarding it.
Same here.
@@w9jim I called the company and it’s extra not needed. Which is very odd to ship it then.
I am disappointed. You did not show how to install the riving knife. Let me explain the issue I am having. The lever that locks the riving knife is in the horizontal position. it's as if it's installed. I try to lift it and it does not move. I cannot install the riving knife. I hope you understand what I am saying. signed help please.
I baught a 36 5152T2 and started putting it together today. And I got no rails for the fence and no one would answer the customer service phone number.
15 amp direct drive or 13 amp fan induction motor like the old model??
This model has the 15 amp motor.
That’s too bad because the 13 amp fan induction motor was sooooo much nicer, powerful and smooth then a 15 amp direct drive!
@@deltamachinerytools34 is the new 15 amp motor direct or induction drive?
Belt Drive 15A motor
What is the difference between the 36-725 and the 725T2? All I can see is less sheet metal and 2 amp increase with the T2,
Check out this video showing some of the new upgrades. th-cam.com/video/_erbaD6ooXs/w-d-xo.html
2 amps. The 36-725 is 13 amps, 36-725T2 is 15 amps
Can you tell me where I could get one of these table saws
Lowes
@@flyalaska1973 Yeah, Lowe's has an exclusive right to market/sell this saw at the present time.
Question: Do they also now have an exclusive to sell the DeWalt DWS779, 12 inch sliding saw? I can't find it on Amazon or at Home Depot.
@@pteddie6965 www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DWS779-Sliding-Compound-Miter/dp/B01ESCU5WS
Lowes is the only place to get one for a good price.
Lowe's. But you don't want one. You're going to wish that you had never heard of a Delta table saw soon after you buy one. And Delta will not make it good.
Help note: bolts HP7 are in 2 different bags (D and C)
Can this be wired up on 220v like the previous model?
It says right on the cord that it’s wired 120 from factory but can be run on 220
I bought this saw from Lowe's in 2017. I moved out-of-state and cannot figure out why the lift wheel mechanism no longer works properly. I have the adjustable feet screwed in all the way. When I press down of the pedal it lifts that side of the saw, but when I take my foot off the pedal it drops the side back down on the adjustable feet. Nothing is bent or twisted. Hopefully somebody can help me resolve the problem.

@deltamachinery got the new t2 installing it everything looks great only thing is the instructions both here and in the manual are pretty bad. At 2:56 you say "use the slot in the supplied gage to insure the rail is the proper distance to the table" but no where does it state what that means. The gage has a 1/4 gap do you align it to the bottom part, the top or the middle? Also the hardware is labeled a,b,c,d etc.. but that's for the entire bag there are several components in each bag. Simple fix slap stickers a1, b2, etc. And the video is so vague with the setup and half the time the camera is being blocked by the dudes hands so we can not only not see what screw he is using but its just lazy. Lol sorry for ripping into you guys the saw is awesome but damn go hire the manual writer from ikea lol. Frustrating when you spend 600+ bucks
Thanks you for the feedback. For the gauge, in the middle of the slot is proper, but the gauge allows for the little play and it will still be setup properly. For the hardware bags, I will let Quality Control know of the mix up. Thank you!
I also have had trouble with the gauge and it is a disappointing issue for a tablesaw many people will be buying specifically for its accuracy. after about 2 hours of fiddling I found this post but no mention of the allowance in the video or the quick assembly guide nor what to do if its incorrectly spaced.
Can u add the the 52 inch Extension
Even though this tablesaw came with a fancy level for the rails, because it is two pieces I’m having the worst time keeping it level and straight
Take it to a welder. For $30 they can weld and grind it, ensuring it's flat and secure without that weaker section. Did that on a previous model (did the welding myself) and it worked great.
It'd be almost impossible to reasonably ship if that were a full-length one piece part.
@@ChrisHornberger Ironically I bought a replacement and got it shipped to me, Delta offers a single rail
I just bought this three days ago and put it together, weren't you suppose to screw the left and right wing to the cast iron top? Lol i forgot to do this myself, I was wondering when I had 6 screws with lock nuts left over.
Chris Simon that’s what he did at 4:20 into the video.
I legit just bought the older version today at lowes, only to find out the newer one is coming and the same price. @deltamachinery when will lowes have these in stock!
More Lowes are getting them everyday. We are pushing them out ASAP.
@@deltamachinerytools34 any idea when Delaware will get some??
Total assembly time?
It's way past early May and still impossible to find. What's the true status?
I must be lucky. There were four in stock at my local store, though they were all up in the rafters.
If you are smart don't buy a Delta. Thank your God for you not being able to find one and get a good table saw, not a Delta.
