10" Second Gen saw with shadow-line and improvements over the Gen 1. This was $352 when I ordered it after finding it on the Bosch 10" miter saw deal posted on the 1st (which is still available at Home Depot [homedepot.com]). It is now down to $332 and much cheaper than anywhere else (except Menards [menards.com], but I don't have one anywhere near me).
Mine arrived 6 days after order despite the 1-4 weeks quoted. YMMV.

This thing is really well built and sitting next to my Bosch [amazon.com] there are a lot of similarities and some distinct differences.
Both feel great with adjustable articulation and build quality.
The Delta is quieter, lighter, better dust collection, and a factory installed shadow-line.
The Bosch has extendable arms that can help a little with bigger pieces.
Personal preference, but I find the the controls to be much nicer/more crisp on the Delta (My Bosch is in great condition, the controls just feel mushier).

Should probably mention that this is a 10" compound miter (not 12"). Decent deal for a very good miter saw.

Thanks, I'm not sure how to edit the title from mobile. I'll try to fix it.
-Got it.


Figured I would add these pictures for future reference.

This is my 12" Bosch next to the new 10" Delta.
Either they are made in the same factory, but more likely across the street. Wink
Bosch is made in China, Delta is made in Taiwan.
Both use metal and plastic in the same places.
Both have the same surface finish.
Fit and finish are clean and tight (certain people commenting on sloppiness of the outstretched delta on display should see if that is the gen 1, this gen 2 has almost no slop).
Both have a maximum of 3/32" of play at full extension with me applying moderate force from side to side.
If you can see it in the pictures, the delta bed is perfectly flat and the Bosch turret is a few thousandths higher than the wings.
The Delta Fence castings for the holes were not cleaned properly and the most paper thin metal was still present (easily poked out with a finger and not a problem, most likely just a QC miss).
Deltas arm mechanism and bevel function is smoother in every way over the Bosch (not a big deal, only noticeable with them side by side).
Delta has the shadow line, Bosch does not.

My takeaway is that this Delta is not like any other cheaper Delta I've ever seen or used. This machine is easily on par with others in it's price range and class and no one should feel bad about getting this over the Bosch. Both feel Great.

Really tempted by this, I have an incredibly tight shop space to work with and currently using a 10" non sliding Hitachi--this would have me taking out my table saw less often. I've seen the reviews for the Bosch but can anyone with one here comment on how well it stays square/accurate with use?

I can't speak for the 10", but my Bosch 12" (there's only a 1 lbs difference, so they're probably almost identical) has not changed after being set up for the last year. I keep it on the gravity rise stand and check the side to side play every once in a while because it sits sideways when stored.

Nice Deal! I decided to pull the trigger and got one. Was going to order from Menard's but they want $34.00 in shipping. $359.00 out the door from this deal.

This particular 10" has a 16" cross cut capability. It is the same as my 12" sliding miter saw, plus much more compact.

just a note for anyone doing exact cuts or trim corners that need to match up exactly:
I went and looked at this in person after another miter saw thread and thought that it had a lot of side to side slop/wiggle. All sliders have some, especially at max extension, but the cruzer mechanism doesn't seem that stable even when it isn't extended. FWIW I wasn't impressed by the Bosch slider either. The cheaper delta non-cruzer slider with traditional rails seemed stiffer to me.

I already knew this fact but I'm going to use your post as my excuse to order...

I've had the first gen model for a few years now and absolutely love it. It was zeroed out of the box, cuts smooth, doesn't take up too much space. The first gen had a small housing for a light but I don't believe Delta ever released an add-on kit so I was happy to see that they actually included it on the second gen. I made a custom install LED light for my first gen using the housing they already had in place so I never needed to upgrade. If you are on the fence about getting this saw, you won't be disappointed. Excellent tool. IF I had to give a gripe, the only thing I could come up with is that the arms collect a lot of dust in their little nooks. It has never impacted function at all. It just sits in the little grooves of the arms like little bowls of dust. That happens even at an miter station with direct dust extraction so just be ready to blow it off regularly. If some sawdust ends up being the only thing holding you back though, you probably shouldn't be buying a miter saw. Enjoy!

Mine has not needed adjustments often whatsoever. It stays in a miter station in my shop so I'm not tossing it in the back of a truck and driving around. Every once in a while I will play with it to make sure everything is zeroed up but it has started true for me

Thanks OP for a very good post about this!

Is Delta a pro-grade brand? I don't know much about it and the reviews aren't that great on Amazon. How is the quality and do they back their warranty well?

This is not listed on Delta site to get specs (they have 26-2240 only), Home depot states that cross cut capacity is 18", Amazon and Menards state 16". Which is it? Also, anyone know how high the fence is in the back? One more question, anyone know what the Cut Capacity Vertical is?

It's 16" (at 2" thick) on the 10" and 18" on the 12" once you remove the fence. Max height of cut on thick stock is 4" tall but 5.5" with baseboard.
