I did not know, I see on CL one from them that is a combo jointer and table saw. Never saw anything like that, I think SS still had it over them.

I have never seen one in person but when they have been around for sixty years or so I will give them a more serious look. Lol.

Very interesting set-ups... I have to say, The Triton is very appealing if you need to transport a work center.

Other than that, I prefer my 66 year young cast iron and aluminum.

my grandfather had a Delta 10" table saw with the 6" jointer and a 1180 shaper from from 1930's. He was a master carpenter.
I learn on them many years ago. My father got them then my brother.
I finally got the shaper, it was very rusted ( I was po at him for that)
I had to totally take it apart and remove all the rust and paint it. New bearings and newer motor. I sure like having the shaper. I hope some day I get the table saw and jointer.
My brother-in-law had a SS. I started looking t SS. Went to several demos (late 70's and early 80's) and asked why the table was so small and that I grew up using a Delta table saw and tolled the sale rep when SS makes a larger table for the SS I would get one. I did back in late 85
