Rtorres092382 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Most of us are familiar or probably own what I consider large tools from Dewalt like the miter saws, job site table saws, and even the thickness planer. Does anyone know if they plan on putting out other large tools like a stand alone drill press or a spindle sander? Personally I'd also love a router table. Any other you guys would like to see? Or is anyone close to the Dewalt camp able to provide some more details? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugnut1 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I would love to see a drum sander. I love the one that I have, but it would be nice to see the 4 big tool makers come out with something geared toward woodworking. From how I understand it, most of the tool makers have backed away from woodworking tools and concentrate on the trades. That is why you don't see many big tools. Case in point, they can make jobsite saws, but don't put any effort into cabinet saws. Kind of a bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I haven't heard of any big tools coming out but I think they should make their old stationary contractor saw again. That thing was awesome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 A drill press would be awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 The big guys have left the stationary tool game to companies like Jet, Grizzley, Laguna, forgetting a bunch of them. Even Ridgid had has cut back on stationary tools over the years it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really seems like the big names are so focused on portable tools for tradesmen, and then trying to outdo each other with bigger and better batteries that the larger tools are sort of an afterthought.

Grumpy MSG Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Actually they abandoned that market in the not to distant past, Delta was sold off by Stanley Black and Decker in 2011. A company out of Taiwan purchased it. They still have some of the older smaller Delta designs being sold by Porter-Cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
