Title: Same Old UPS Issues
Review: The box arrived mostly intact. When I opened it though I could see the styrofoam had taken a beating. The machine appeared to be undamaged so i completed the simple assembly and tested the machine. The following day I noticed a crack in the base of the Column. I will see if Delta will just ship a replacement column.One other issue is the mortise depth with the smaller chisels. It seems that with a 1/4" bit (only one tested), due to the length, a mortise cannot be cut to a depth of more than 1" off the base. So in 2" stock you would be able to go no more than 1" deep. This is an issue with stock that may be 6/4, or for through-mortises. I guess a nice square, parallel backing block between the workpiece and the base would take care of the problem. Since the instruction mention through-mortises I assume they are possible with the larger chisels.
Is the review positive or negative?
