The Delta 36-716 is a 10-inch hybrid saw that sports a powerful 1.75-hp induction motor running on 120- or 240-volt current. The transmission of power to the blade on this unit is efficient and quiet, thanks to a poly-v belt that mates up with the drive pulley.

Delta is well known for making top-quality table saws for professionals. In its hybrid line, it incorporates many pro features in a saw for homeowners. Delta's hybrid saws have floor-to-table cabinets like their bigger commercial units and lots of table area. Cabinet style saws look neater and do a better job of collecting dust than saws with open stands. There is good access through a door in the cabinet to service the belt or the motor.

With the Delta 36-716 saw, you can rip with support up to 30 inches from the right side of the blade and about 13-1/2 inches to the left. Maximum depth of cut is 3-1/8 inches at 90 degrees. The left-tilting blade tilts away from the fence.

The 36-716 comes with a 30-inch Delta Unifence, rail, and the laminated table board. The unit also has a very large on/off switch for no-look convenience, and the miter gauge is of high quality.

Pros: Quiet yet powerful motor
Cons: Bigger footprint may not be for everyone
