28-400 vs PM1500
DELTA Machinery 28-400 vs Powermatic PM1500. Of the 11 figures both makers publish, 2 differ: horsepower and weight. 8 are worded too differently to set side by side: motor, voltage, phase and resaw capacity and 4 more. Both are band saws, compared on the 11 figures published for both.

Cited for one of the pair: only DELTA Machinery's cited pages give throat, included and safety listing; only Powermatic's cited pages give current, bevel capacity, table height, fence, noise level and cord length. The other maker may publish the figure elsewhere; ask it rather than assume the 28-400 and PM1500 match there.
