Several weeks ago I asked for advice on aligning the blade in my Delta Hybrid table saw. After many scraped nuckles, bruises, and not a few strong words, I took toolferone's advice and called Delta. I dropped it off at their service center on Capital Ave 2 weeks ago.

Today I spoke to them and found out that they have ordered me a new saw. No questions asked, no fuss, no bother. Said to expect it in about 7 days.

I'll report back later on how all this plays out, but at this point it sure looks like the way tech support is supposed to work -- but too often does not. Now, if they would only deliver.

Let me know if you need help with that part.

I am glad they are taking care of it for you.

The service center just called and asked, "why don't we just have that shipped directly to you?" Any surprise that I said, "OKAY!!"?

Thanks for the offer,
RayH

Re: Delta Tech Support - Part 1

There is nothing like quality customer service to make the pain of a defective product a pleasant transaction in the end. They have shown you that you are important to them. That is what great customer service is about. Glad it worked out for you.

Re: Delta Tech Support - Part 1

Maybe change the title to "Part 2"

Yesterday the delivery truck dropped off a 3' x 3' x 3' crate containing a new saw!! Complete with a new and improved "precision" miter. Entire package looks better than the original. No dings around the cast parts, better fit on several things, and a bunch of caution decals that were missing on the original.

Oh, yes. Blade-to-miter slot alignment is right on.

I think the original may have been a "made on Friday" machine. This one really looks nice.

Many kudos to Delta Tech Support for taking quick action to solve my problem

Re: Delta Tech Support - Part 1

Ray, I am really glad to hear that Delta stepped up to the plate on this one. They have been getting a bad rap lately, and it is good to hear that they haven't fouled completely. Now what are you gonna do with those extra CI wings ?
