The Delta P20 and the Dewalt 788 saws are both good saws. The one thing you do not hear so much complaints but there is some, is that Dewalt saws out sell Delta by a great deal because of sales marketing and advertising. There are many more Dewalts on the market than Deltas so that comparison to problems is not a fair one and wish everyone would stop making that claim. With that said it is ashame the quality of the Dewalt saw diminshed since they shipped the manufactoring overseas. Make cheaper get cheaper. Not sure where the Delta saw is made but with all the tool manufactorers merging and shipping their work overseas do not be surprised if the Delta goes the same route the Dewalt did. Also with the new look the P20 has I still think they still use all the same bearings andd all that require alot more maintaince than a Dewalt so that is a factor. The other big difference is the blade clamps and you need to try them both for yourself to see what you prefer. We all get used to the ones we have on the saw we buy. So besides the speed controls  that are the main differences. Both around the same price so if you like Chevy or Ford then that is where you stand.

 

All you Delta owners am I correct about the bearings and you need to oil them every so often as  a maintainence thing???
