Delta has not been very active these past few years, after being sold by Stanley Black & Decker. Last year they came out with new value-priced table saws. The first one was launched just ahead of Black Friday, and the other a little later.
That makes their newest release a little surprising, but it’s definitely good to see them busy designing new tools.

Delta has come out with 2 new sliding miter saws, both sharing “Cruzer” branding. Delta Cruzer miter saws are unlike any other sliding miter saws I’ve seen, save for the Bosch Axial Glide miter saws.
Actually the Delta Cruzer miter saws look to slide in a very similar way to the Bosch Axial Glide mechanism.
Delta’s marketing says that the Cruzer miter saws have robot arms made from military-grade aluminum. That seems a little over the top, but how else might one describe the mechanism? They do kind of look like robot arms. Well, industrial robot arms. Maybe.
There are 2 new Delta Cruzer sliding miter saws – a 10″ model (26-2240), and another with a 12″ blade (26-2250).
Bosch Axial Glide miter saw arms are positioned in a 90 degree angle to each other, with one horizontal and the other vertical. The Delta Cruzer miter saws’ “robot arms” also look to be positioned with a 90° offset, but are angled symmetrically at around 45° off vertical.

Delta claims that the Cruzer’s robot arms offer unsurpassed accuracy, smoothness, and durability.
Delta also says that the Cruzer miter saws have control features that make them the fastest dual-bevel miter saws available.
There’s a new flip-down fence design that Delta says gives the 12″ Cruzer the widest cross-cutting capacity in its class – 17.5″. Its miter range is 60° right and 50° left.
The 10″ saw, shown just above and below (the first 3 images are of the 12″ saw), has a proprietary 15A motor with belt drive that’s designed for max power and cooling. It has a soft start and easy to use trigger.
With a similar flip-down fence, the 10″ Cruzer can cut boards up to 15.5″ wide. Delta says this model also has the widest cross-cutting capacity in its class.
You will need to attach 2″ thick auxiliary support boards if/when you need to take advantage of the saws’ maximum cutting width. The 10″ saw needs a 2″ x 12″ auxiliary table board, and the 12″ saw needs a 2″ x 14″ board. (As per the user manuals.)
Additional features include slide tension adjustments for “personalized slide action,” a molded handle and trigger that’s righty and lefty-friendly, adjustable cutting depth, clear blade guard, 1.5″ dust port, included dust bag, one-handed front miter controls with push-button miter detent override, and front bevel release for quick movements.

First Thoughts
There’s no hiding my surprise. I thought Delta was finished. Maybe they’re still churning out table saws (although I haven’t seen much promotion or mentions of them in recent years), and maybe they came out with a value-priced saw last year during the holiday season.
But new cutting-edge miter saws? Surprising and exciting.
They look a LOT like Bosch’s axial glide miter saws, and I’m wondering how the sliding mechanism differs.
The saw head looks very unusual. Perhaps the handle is so low to discourage using it as a handle? Even if not, I think that users will be glad that it’s designed for comfortable righty or lefty use. That’s not a complaint I’ve heard about – miter saws being comfortable or not comfortable for left-handed users, so I can’t really comment further.
These saws are large, and although they’re fairly heavy, they’re not that much heavier than other large sliding miter saws.
Bosch’s design is a few years old already. It’s possible that these saws aren’t designed exclusively by Delta, and that they’re manufactured by the same OEM that might be responsible for Bosch’s Axial Glide saws – if they’re not manufactured by Bosch directly.
Delta is making a lot of claims about the Cruzers, such as:
Stops at the most popular bevel angles and an accessible override switch make Delta CRUZERS the fastest, easiest to use miter saws available.
So they’re basically saying these are the fastest to use miter saws. I don’t think they mentioned application speed or cutting performance anywhere, they’re more talking about angle adjustments and maybe also the sliding action. But being fast and easy to use is definitely very appealing, and is perhaps enough, coupled with what Delta describes as industry-leading cutting capacity.
It will definitely be interesting to see how well the Delta Cruzer miter saws hold up against industry leaders.
One thing that the Cruzers do seem to lack is any kind of cut guidance system. Nothing is mentioned in the product descriptions or the user manuals. If so, that would be a big bummer. Ridgid and Milwaukee have followed Dewalt’s lead in using shadow illumination for laying precise cut lines at exact blade thickness. I wonder why Delta wouldn’t or couldn’t do the same.
Jimmie
It’s interesting that the 10″ and the 12″ versions differ by only 2 pounds.
Stuart
I moved a Bosch Axial Glide 10″ the other day. It’s a heavy beast, and not easily portable. I can see the same with these.
That might be a similar limitation of these Delta saws. If it’s not on a rolling stand, you’ll really wish it was.
The 12″ has a 30″ depth, 21.5″ height, and 25.5″ width.
The 10″ has a 29.5″ depth, 20″ height, and 22.5″ width.
I would have thought there to be a slightly larger difference in weight too, but the saws likely share a lot of common parts to save on production complexity. The main differences would then be in typically hollow-ish sections.
Cody
The Delta cruiser is a better design than the Bosch miter saw. I’ve seen it it use the cuts are true and the blade arm isn’t sloppy like the Bosch which has a few degrees of play in it
fred
I think that the issue with the Bosch might be in QA/QC in manufacturing. We had bought a number of GCM12SD’s. We had problems with some – enough to return them. Early issues might have been attributed to damage during shipping – but one later one that came better protected would not cut square despite repeated adjustments. One had slop only in glide mode. Others were perfect or nearly so right out of the box – and cut true both in fixed and glide mode – and seem to continue to do so several years into their expected life. Maybe this is a commentary on the factory and workers making them – or perhaps a design that is subject to manufacturing problems and inconsistencies as tooling wears.
John S
Thats the main problem I have with the axial design of the Bosch and a show stopper for me. Most if any of the “slop” can be trued out by adjusting the saw except for the glide path of the axial arm itself. If its at all even slightly not perfect you will never be able to fix the path the saw makes which results in burning on one side or the other. The Bosh forums are full of such complaints and I’m not sure this Delta robotic axial arm design make this situation any better. Likely it ads even more possibility for variation in path.
Jon Miller
Actually this design very clearly addresses that, as both arms are always preloaded with tension where you want it to keep it straight. The Bosch has the ability to move side-to-side because the vertically-mounted hinge/arm on the side doesn’t prevent the slightest movement in that direction, while the top mounted arm is designed to prevent movement that way, but any amount of runout in the bearings/mechanism will result in significant wander at the end of the stroke, and there is nothing to prevent it from going both ways. This one is always loaded on both arms to one side (the gravity-assisted side) of its play, which means that it should be inherently more rigid and consistent.
I was nothing but pleased with the two different Bosch axial glide saws I’ve used, but I’m aware of the complaint. Based on my understanding of mechanical accuracy (basically I read Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy once, and I’m a hobby/wannabe machinist) this design should correct for that issue perfectly. The guy I follow in Instagram (carpentry_bymar) is using this new one daily and swears it’s 100% better than the Bosch. What’s interesting to me is that the price is the same as the Bosch, to the penny. Seems to me that they recognized the interest in the benefits of this style, then ran with it, improving the cut quality, cut capacity, and weight, while keeping the exact price that buyers of the Bosch saws already proved they are willing to pay.
Marvin McConoughey
Concur, Jon Miller. China makes the Bosch and the Delta hinged miter saws. Delta can benefit from everything that has been learned with manufacturing the Bosch saw. Simply from the pictures, I like the lower handle, the straightforward hinge design, and the generous use of ball bearings. I hope that the on switch is easier and more convenient to operate than on the Bosch. I like my Bosch GCM12SD very much, but the Delta Cruzer 18″ (17-1/2? ) possible cross cutting feature is a great option to have.
Marvin McConoughey
It is now just over three months later and I will soon be selling my Delta Cruzer saw, and keeping my long-owned Bosch GCM12SD. Despite all the wonderful tech data, and Delta’s emphasis on accuracy, the Bosch is the better tool for me. It is more rigid at full blade extension despite not having as many ball bearings in the hinge mechanism. Where it is weak, notably the non-rigid blade depth stop, the Delta is even worse. I like the distance markings on the Bosch fence. The Delta has none. The differences in dust collection ability favor the Delta, but I have a dust trough at the back of my miter saw cubicle and the trough is cleaned by an eight inch duct connected to the main intake on the Oneida central vacuum unit. This provides superb dust control on either saw. I found out, by looking, that the user-made wood table that Delta recommends for extra wide crosscuts can also be made with slight changes to fit the Bosch. So, regrettably, the Delta claims of superiority were not realized for my purposes. Those who often move their miter saw might still prefer the lighter weight Delta Cruzer.
Marvin McConoughey
I own both saws. On mine, which may differ from another set, the Bosch GCM12SD has much less lateral blade movability at full extension, compared to my Delta Cruzer. In examining both saws, the greater Delta flexibility at full extension seems not to be any single factor but rather an accumulation of several small flexibilities in the total hinge system. I am surprised because the Delta has ball bearings in the hinge system. As a conjecture only, the hinge ball bearings may not be of the closest tolerance variety. They do, however, provide a silky-smooth blade extension feel, even smoother than the excellent Bosch.
The yeti
Delta used to mean top notch . Heavy duty . Does this look top notch or heavy duty
Stuart
For the prices that are attached to the saws, they’d better be.
Marvin McConoughey
Yes, it looks heavy duty. The look is backed up by sixteen ball bearings, including the hinged arms. Also, there are two, not one, ways of picking up the saw to move it. The weight–compare to the Festool Kapex–suggests rugged castings. Like the Bosch and perhaps many others, the rotating work table swings on a specific plane bearing designed for the job.
What cannot be seen yet is be the quality of precision, assembly care, and component quality. Also, note the very rational appearing dust collection path. It looks superior to the badly designed dust chute that came with my Bosch G
Marvin McConoughey
Unfortunately, buying the Delta Cruzer revealed less quality than I had expected. See my further comments in another post of mine in response to an earlier reply to Jon Miller.
Admin Note: Here’s the link to Marvin’s feedback comment.
Sergey
You rarely see innovation in the miter saw world, these saws do look interesting! Cutting capacity is awesome.
However, I’m not sure if I’ll buy anything made by new Delta ever again as there is ZERO customer service or warranty. I recently had an issue with a bent bevel gauge on a new Delta’s heavy duty spindle sander.
4 calls to customer service on different days produced no results — I wasn’t able to speak to a human after being on hold for over 30 minutes. Fine, I thought, I’ll just order the darn thing, Delta has a helpful parts section on their site. Problem is, that section is buggy as all get out — I couldn’t add anything to cart using 4 different browsers. Ended up buying the part from an independent parts supplier, whose rep called me twice to apologize that it’s taking so long to ship the part as Delta is highly unresponsive and very slow to ship (the part was not in stock). It took 2 months to deliver a small part for a brand new tool and I couldn’t do it using warranty service.
Tim
Ditto on the customer service. I have the 18in drill press that had a small issue and spent 40 min waiting only for them to tell me they can’t send me the spring and screw they left of of it.
Jason
That does not instill confidence for the brand.
Josh
I like the space saving on the Bosch axial glide a lot, and I’ve had it earmarked for when I replace my current miter saw. If this thing is good, it could change that.
Nathan
I sort of wondered when the axial glide came out – is that for compactness or is that for cut stability.
I see some sliders have a bit of wobble in them – it’s minimal and I wondered if that was from wear or build.
I don’t own a slider yet but It’s next on my list of woodwork pieces to buy. So this is a contender I guess if it’s made well. Wish they wouldn’t have called it robot arms, seems hokey.
fred
The old Delta Sidekick saw had a carriage that rode along a 3 rail support arm – supported at both ends. The saw had its limitations but was a favorite for some flooring/decking guys. In its favor, was its triangular 3-rail configuration which should be more ridged than anything with 2 rails.
Jon Miller
It makes it compact, because you don’t have the rails sticking out the back like you do with normal sliders. I designed my miter saw station in my garage shop around the Bosch, planning on getting one after paying for all the cabinets and such I was building, then held off when I heard about the cut consistency issues. Hopefully this one will slot right in the space I set up for the Bosch. This looks to me like a Christmas present. 🙂
Marvin McConoughey
I use a bolted-down Bosch GCM12SD for my permanently installed workshop miter saw. If I replace it in the future, I will research what is then known about the Delta Cruzer. At first appearance it looks like a winner.
Koko The Talking Ape
I’m just thinking about all the robots who had to sacrifice their arms for this tool.
And come to think of it, seems like the full robot would be more versatile. But they really should be cordless. FlexVolt, maybe?
Michaelhammer
Festool has perfected the compound miter saw. Once you have used one and become accustomed to it all other saws are inferior. People balk at the price, worth every penny and seventeen pounds lighter the the Bosch.
I’m glad to see Delta innovating again. I have fond memories watching Norm Abram work magic with Delta equipment on New Yankee Workshop.
Jon Miller
This one is much lighter than the Bosch, and much more durable than the Festool. Trim carpentry guys love the Festool (hard to argue with the feature set), but basically no one else does because of the price and the “heavy” use of plastic. The Wood Whisperer himself bought a DeWalt after his Festool fell from a fairly reasonable height and nearly everything broke. That guy bleeds green and still bought yellow when his baby had to be repaired. The design is great as along as you are able to consistently baby your tools. But for everyone else (including everyone working on busy job sites) they’re just too expensive and fragile.
Grady
I was in the market to replace my craftsman miter saw with the Ridgid 10 in dual bevel sliding compound miter saw, but HD has discontinued that saw and i am unable to locate another distributor. I thought the Delta might be the answer, untill i saw the price. Why homer decided to drop (from all indications) a great product and at a great price is another corporate wonder of the world.
Stuart
Has it been permanently discontinued, or seasonally?
A different Ridgid tool that seemed discontinued a few months ago is all of a sudden back on the website. Certain products go through periodic production and availability cycles like that.
Mark
What ridgid models have the aforementioned shadow illumination? That’s news top me.
Stuart
Their cordless model.

John
If one looks closely at this Delta chop saw there are similarities to the Dewalt dual bevel chop saws. The detent plate for setting the cut angle and cursor are identical. The fences and main body/turntablr are very similar. I thought at first I was looking at my Dewlat. The handle orientation and placement and belt driven motor are similar.
Delta claims fast bevel and bevel pins. My Dewalt also bevels left and right with the pull of a lever/knob and has positive bevel stops at 22.5, 33.6 and 45 both left and right. These angles also be fine tuned to be accurate.
All said though this looks like a nice saw and the splayed arms may add rigidity.
SawdustTX
The table, detent, plate, knob, and other pieces look the same as my 12″ Delta Compound Miter. Except extended in the front for the deeper cut the slides provides. Keep in mind Delta was owned by SBD at one point, so it’s entirely possible the table design is a new variant of a design from when DeWalt and Delta were owned by the same company.
Julian Tracy
I had the Bosch Glide saw and aside from it being a tallish heavy aircraft carrier impossible to carry easily design, I could also never get it to cut square in some circumstances no matter the time and effort I put into trying to adjust it with high quality Wood pecker squares and such.
Sold the Bosch to get a Kapex when a minty great deal one appeared. It may well be a super great saw and cut perfect, but I could not get myself to like using it. The blade safety switch and guard interconnect along with the handle and trigger configuration drove me nuts. After one kitchen trim job I sold it off.
Still on the look out for a saw when I need something bigger than my Dewalt 7.5″ cordless; which, btw is a very good little saw.
Can’t wait to get a hands on look at the new Makita 10″ dual 18v cordless saw. It looks to have some similar accuracy features as the Kapex and possibly better dust collection.
I found the Kapex to have about the same dust collection when hooked up to a Festool vac as my Bosch Glide did; both of which being pretty good.
Ryan Jacob
I really wanted to Makita 10 inch miter saw but got scared off by some of the comments I had been reading about its accuracy. I had seen a picture of one of the cuts made by someone and the actual cut bowed towards the inside of the piece of plywood that he cut.
I liked the rail system and from what I had seen the dust collection was excellent. I ended up buying the Milwaukee 10 inch.
ChrisP
Hi Ryan, which Makita model was getting bad reviews? I was considering the LS1018 but found mixed reviews and am now thinking I need to spend more to get something I will be happy with. Am seriously looking at the newish LS1019L. I live in New Zealand and for some bizarre reason the LS1019L is cheaper than the LS1016L here!
SawdustTX
Any word on when they will start shipping?
Stuart
Not yet, I’m waiting to hear back.
Jason
Delta might be a little optimistic at that price point. The brand has lost some of its luster over the years. They might have been known for a quality product back in the day, but now they have kinda faded away.
Chrisk1970
I’d love to try this one but my Kapex is still da bomb.
ed ski
I went for a Hitachi 12″ that replaced my Delta 10″ (it never was true…I went nuts over damn mitered crown moulding…and how they didn’t detent at all the common degrees).
The Hitachi will serve out its life, but I found it was damaged in shipping (Damn UPS gorillas!) that the rear dial for bevel was broke. I got replacement part but it feel sloppy. And I find the laser hard to see in lighted work. Still, slap on a Freud blade and its like you never need to sand an end.
(My 12″ Hitachi C12RSH2 sliding miter was $425)
Delta will need to compete with price and features to win me back.
Doresoom
I have the 12″ Hitachi C12FDH (fixed) and the fine adjustment bevel gears on the back broke on me after about 4 years of use. The planetary gears had a plastic carrier that sheared right apart. The bevel still works, it just doesn’t have the fine adjust feature anymore. Sounds like there might be a common failure point going on here…
Will
I was really hoping that this saw would also have some sort of light that is casted down like the DeWalt but according to the Home Depot description and the parts lists from Delta’s website it has a laser.
The big question is when will this saw ship – I purchased from Amazon on Oct 16th but it’s still showing out of stock with no sight of an ETA available.
Stuart
Thanks! I didn’t see any mention of a laser in the description or manual, but will check the parts list.
Will
Just received an email from Amazon that the estimated ship date is between Nov 15-30th so at least there is some sort of eta out there.
Will
Ended up picking one up from Lowe’s on Nov 2nd and I can confirm that the parts list has a laser holder but no actual laser. Other than that it is a huge improvement over the 10″ HF saw I’ve lived with for the past 6-7 years and even with the included blade the cuts are extremely smooth and accurate.
Doresoom
The Cruzer has a laser holder but no laser. I asked Delta customer service about it, and they said there was an add-on laser scheduled to release in January 2018. They’re also releasing a dust port adapter at the same time, since the ribs on the dust port are actually 1-5/8″ OD instead of 1-1/2″ OD. I’m using the Rockler Dust Right universal small port adapter for mine.
Warren Brown
They released an updated model that now has a shadowline.
They posted a BS YouTube video saying they won’t release a kit to retrofit old models, well read on…
From looking at the part lists of old and new models, it looks like all you need to do is order the light components, power module, light switch, handle, trigger, new design interlock, mounting bracket and wire guide. Now, I went a different route based on the part diagram. I bought an indus star 3 led module in 5k brightness, a Carclo elliptical lens, a mini switch and a 300mA constant current module. The module came is a case just a hard too large, so I popped out the electronics and discarded that case. The whole saw is designed to have this! The led assembly and lens mount inside that nose piece and shine out a slot they premolded, just mount the lens flat towards that slot, and aim it by aligning the focusing grooves of the lens to the slot. I had to hand craft a aluminum bracket to glue to the back of the led with thermal adhesive. Make it oversized to make a better heatsink. That bracket then is screwed to that plastic nosepiece, again you will notice they created an area for the screw and a nut, just drill the screw hole in the left side piece. Use 4mm x 12mm screw and nut. The small 22ga wire runs up the right side guide into, you guessed it, a small hole already going into the handle. You will have to reposition wires to fit it all in, but it will all fit inside the handle. Notice on top of the handle is a small molded square. That square is for the led power switch, I used a mini toggle switch with a water proof cover. There is unused space under that spot with room. Then you just run one wire from hot out on the left side of the trigger to the mini switch, then mini switch to the hot of the power module. Power module then wires to plus and minus on led. Neutral wire in handle has a quick connector, I just pulled it apart and made a 1 inch jumper to match, with a wire going to neutral on the power module. Wrapped bare power module with heat resistant silicone tape to isolate it electrically. Carefully tuck the wires following the paths premolded in the handle.
About $20 in parts.

FYI gang Menard’s has the new saw on display/for sale in Columbus, OH – $499.99 and the slide action is silky smooth……..
Randy
I just picked up the 12 inch delta tonight at Lowe’s in Indianapolis for $399-and it came with the stand free..great deal on what I hope is a really nice saw.
Jeremy Todd
Hey Stuart, love the site! Heads up that at my local Lowe’s, I grabbed the 10” Cruzer Saw for $349! And when I went to pick it up, there was a sign stating purchase of either Cruzer saw included a free stand! It was the Delta shopmaster stand they sell for $129! If there’s a better value right now, I certainly couldn’t think of it….plus the few intitial reviews on the saw seem quite positive
mst
I picked up the 12″ at lowes for 245.00 . (not a typo – yes, 245.00 ) it was the last one and it was the display model. considering it was only on display for a short time I was ok with that – 5 year warranty . also got a kobalt 60 tooth blade for free since they couldn’t find the original blade. As to an earlier comment about the measurements laid out on the fence of the delta, I noticed that dewalt isn’t doing it either. I like that feature but I guess they think it wasn’t necessary. I’m a home user and its probably more saw than I need but for the money I think I got a deal. also got the upgraded stand in the deal for 125.00 , not the free one . that stand must weight 75 lbs so if that’s any indication it must be very sturdy. havnt even taken it out of the box. saw is smooth as silk. would prefer the laser and was wondering if anyone knows what saws are made in china because they usually retro fit one feature over to other models, so the laser may be out there but under another manufacturer- keep looking , it may be out there , if not maybe the aftermarket laser may work, not sure.
thanks for the site
Keith
The Home Depot website now describes this as having a built-in laser.
Jack Sandeen
Great site – appreciate averyone’s helpful comments!
Here’s the deal..was at Menard’s the other night – 11% event – and noticed the Hitatchi 12” dual slider with two different display prices… asked the clerk which was correct … neither was … tag should have been removed to show standard $449, but said the $389 price would be honored, then agreed to allow the extra 11% off. Bought it, took it home, dismounted my old (OLD) DeWalt radial arm, rebuilt the bench top, unboxed the Hitatchi and it’s just too big. Dang!
Been reading reviews of ten inch saws until they all blend together and wonder if there’s any consensus out there. Would appreciate some cut to the chase recommendations!
I’m left-handed, I’m getting old- maybe the last saw I buy – I expect accuracy and safety – want cutting depth control – appreciate being able to make most adjustments easily – think I want a slider and am ambivalent about single or dual bevel. Finally, I replaced my caput Jet cabinet saw with Festool and am learning to like it, but the Kapex miter saw is out of reach.
Your thoughts?
Thanks.
Oletater
Just fiddled with one.. Not impressed.. Wanting to do segmented wood turning and comparing with the Bosch and price. Bosch is tighter.. the flex in the Delta is 2–5 degrees depending were you test on the travel in – out — the casting’s ?? Just curious on a replacement parts.. the drive belt $33 and non-stock item nice to have a spare belt for those cold winter nights when sh.. happens. The blade slot in table is massive 1/4 inch or more. May be great for home shop.. but for the same price as Bosch Saw I will go with the Bosch which has been on the market 4-5 years now.
Jon Miller
Skip both. For segmented turning you need excellent precision, and these extending arm models are built for convenience, not precision. The Hitachi 12″ slider has the benefit of minimal rear clearance (bevel adjustment knob is at the back, so you need some), and better precision than these, but it’s still a sliding miter saw. For best precision your best bet is a table saw miter sled. Build your own or buy an Incra with the money you save by not buying one of these saws. They’re great for what they’re meant to do, but precise fine woodworking isn’t it.

I have the axial glide Bosch, 12 inch. Sold my Ridgid (similar size and capabilities) to switch to Bosch but, the dust collection system, even with my vacuum system attached is awful! Am I alone? Or is there a method to improve this problem? Currently trying different design configurations.

Just bought this saw 10″ cruzer. Looks nice well built. I had not used it much until today.
Big disappointment! Cutting 7 1/4 trim on 45° bevel and when the arms are extended to capacity there is way too much wiggle I had to adjust the saw to almost 1° miter in order to get a pretty close square 45° bevel cut. I do not recomend this.
