floor model in my shop. The only ones I know of are the AMT line, which I
don't like, and the Delta 37-070, which I don't know anything about.
Anybody have any information on the Delta ?

I've had the machine for about a year and for what it is, it is a good
machine.  The knives are aligned fine and for 3 foot stock and under it
trues well.  All the glueup work I've done is excellent.  Since I'm
getting more in to woodworking, I am moving up to a stationary 6",
probably the Jet.  You'll find this tool is a real workhorse in the shop.
Good luck!  Michael

I have the Ryobi J333? It has variable speed, two blades. In a review
way back when, it was rated number one as far as table units, due
mostly in part to its capable high speed. It puts on a very smooth
finish. The only downfall I found from these units is its table
length is rather short, which is easier for you cup the edge.
