All I recently ordered some specialized bolts for my DJ20.  They said they had them in stock.  1/11/2017 I ordered the parts today is 1/27/2017 and I had to call them for the 3rd time to find out when I am getting them.  They claim they are to be delivered today.  

I will never use this company again unless I have no choice.

Don't blame you.

We have a Fastenal store here. I've been pretty lucky to be able to find what I need there.

Don't know if it's true or not, but when Delta was shutting down a bunch of US factories, they were ready to just scrap the spare parts.   Some guy bought them up and set up a parts distribution.

 

 

(maybe Sears will do the same thing, oh, wait, they don't have a lot of Craftsman parts to begin with)

That sounds like the guy buying all the machinery will be the big looser cause I bet 95 % of each machine never gets sold. The Delta stuff I own never took over 100 dollars worth of parts in the 60 years and they are still running....  But you did say you didn't know if it was true or not.

Delta now seems to have gone the way of new PC...

Sorry you encountered troubles as you described. Appreciate you sharing your experience. Good info to "file" back not that I have much Delta stuff anyway nor will I likely unless someone donates to me an old pristine Unisaw...

Only ever had one Delta tool. A lunch box planer. It worked good until it didn't.

I'm a Delta user and always will be. They all have problems, not just Delta...
