I recently purchased a Delta 36-680. Has full cast top with cast wings and the Delta T2 Fence and also pitched in for the mobile base. What a beauty and one h&$l of an upgrade from what I was using. Got it all for about $520.

Now that I have this life long piece of equipment, 2 things that are on my mind.
1.) What should a person be looking for in a blade, and what recommendations do you have and why?
2.) What is the best method to ensure accuracy of the blade to the table, miter, and fence?

In the past I have used $20 to $30 blades on my table top unit and it did ok. It was also direct drive so I can not expect perfection in it.

I have seen a dial caliper and magnetic base block thru lee valley that was not terrible expensive and thought that it might be the best method to use for adjustments. I have some knowledge in making the adjustments, but really after the best method for measuring.

Thank You.
