http://www.portercable.com/images/revolution_1.jpgPORTER-CABLE and DELTA began early in the 20th Century (1906 and 1919 respectively) and were direct results of fulfilling the American Dream. For both companies, the principals had one goal in mind: to provide quality tools and products that made the work of journeymen and professional craftsmen easier. Their tools were of the highest quality and reliability. It was not uncommon for a single power tool to cost a month’s wages. The added production and efficiency afforded by the innovative offerings made this a relatively easy sale. Tasks that once took weeks or months were now reduced to hours or days.
DELTA and PORTER-CABLE have common roots that date back to 1960. This was the year PORTER-CABLE and DELTA became a part of the same company. The combination of PORTER-CABLE and DELTA gave the company a wealth of patents and combined intellectual property from over 50 years of excellence in woodworking power tools.
Toward the end of the 1980s, there were various joint projects between the DELTA and PORTER-CABLE brands. Both brands have long been the leaders in their respective categories of stationary and bench top woodworking equipment and portable woodworking power tools. By the end of the 1990s, both companies became more closely aligned by sharing the same manufacturing and distribution facilities in Jackson, Tennessee.
