Topic tags/keywords: tablesaw noise problem delta 34-670 wwwlloyduscom

Is there something wrong with it?

I have an 15 year old Delta 34-670 contractors saw. It seems to work OK but when I turn it on you would think a jet engine is taking off. I can’t believe how much noise it makes. It was purchased second hand and has a nice after market fence so it does have some redeeming features.

Any advice on how to quiet it down would be well appreciated.

Loud is an understatement. It’s like being in the front row at a rock concert. “doyoulikegumwood” is it really meant to be that loud?

its a direct drive motor don’t push it to hard their over 250 buck to replace their not much you can do to make it any quieter. i burned up 2 motors on mine and of course it always happened when i didn’t have time to buy a new saw its a good saw for starting out but i promise you’ll be looking to replace it if you really get into wood working

Thanks doyoulikegumwood. It really is crazy loud. I can’t operate it without the garage door being shut and even then I am sure the neighbors will be complaining. I thought my 3hp portercable router was loud at 21,000 rpm but it is nothing compared to this beast. I think I am going to have to look for another table saw.
