Oh yes, I have the delta and like it. Most performax owners like theirs too.
For both units you have to know their limitations, JG

Robert -
I have had the Delta Unit for several years and am happy with it... The
other posts about sander limitations are correct... If you try to use it (or
the performax) as a planer, it'll stall. I don't take very big bites off at
a time with mine, but then I usually don't have to <g>)...
I'd get it again... I just wish it had a bigger motor, but then it coudn't
run on 110...

Everyone with a Performax seems to like it; the Delta gets mixed
reviews.
