The product, in the report: Delta Table Saw Model 36-540 Type 2 Date K 9747
Table saw from Delta which was purchased at Home Depot or Lowes several years ago started on fire and almost caused a fire in the garage. The fire was electrical and it was INSIDE the saw housing box which is sealed and not serviceable to the consumer. The fire caused severe smoke inside the garage which also made it’s way into the house. Had to be put out with an electrical extinguisher. Fire could of been worse if it had spread to wood that was being worked with saw. It was a complete product failure and had nothing to do with my side of the electrical. The circuit protector inside the saw also failed as it did not reset or trip. I contacted Delta first but their corporate offices will no help with the product claiming it was before they (Dewalt / Black Decker)purchased Delta in 2004 relieving them from any responsibility. Only offered a small % discount on an online item which is not what is needed to rectify the situation.

The product, in the report: Delta Band saw model 28-206
On Saturday, March 24th, 2012, I was sawing a board with my Delta bandsaw, model 28-206. Suddenly and without warning, the table of the saw collapsed. This caused me to lose my balance, and lose control of the workpiece I was sawing. Before I could turn off the saw, the blade dug into the edge of the table, causing the motor to stall. Luckily I was not injured. When I investigated the cause of this incident, I discovered that the two mounting brackets holding the cast-iron table to the saw had shattered into numerous pieces, causing the thenty-five pound table to become detatched from the saw while in operation. When when I examined the pieces of the brackets, I found that they were made of a very brittle metal ( which I have always called pot metal) which was only .050” thick. I could take a piece of the shattered bracket ant break it in two with my bare fingers.
