After asking the same question, I was informed the Grizzly isn't as heavy duty as the Delta, so I popped for the extra $40 for the Delta. It's a nice tool. They look the same in pictures.

Hi Router

I will need to 2nd that also.,I have the Delta also but it comes down to how many times you are going to use it...the wood will add to the mass of the jig as well, but they both work about the same....and 40 bucks is 40 bucks in my book....I got mind for free..

You went to Lowes, put it in the bottom of the cart, and forgot about it going through checkout. Right?

Well, friends. thanks for the info.
Apparently delta has two models. 34-183 and 34-184.
184 is getting many negative reviews on Amazon. 183 has much better reviews. And for some strange reason grizzly has the best review. Go figure.
Can’t rely on reviews that’s why I posted here.

Bj, does grizzly know you switched sides?

I went to Amazon and read the reviews. I've had none of the problems that were reported.

Apparently nobody makes these for left tilt saw blade.
They all can be adapted for left tilt but then the arm and the small backing block get positioned on the front.
So, not true left tilt tenoning jig anywhere.

What gets me is that all these years I’ve read and been told I should get a left tilt saw and that’s what I finally got.
And now I see that all the pros like Norm and Marks use right tilt.

I'm a cynic when it comes to reviews. Most reviews appear in magazines which carry regular paid advertising by the brands concerned, how bias free can such reviews be?

I had the tenoning jig from Woodcraft and it worked well. I found I was making more tenons with the router so I swapped the jig in a good trade.
