Editorial Review:
Includes 13" Two-Speed Finishing Planer - 22-580R, 15 AMP, 120 Volt Motor, 2-Knife Cutterhead w/ Index Pins, Cutterhead Wrench, Blade Magnet, Instruction Manual.
Delta calls its 22-580 a finishing planer, but it's really two planers in one. A dimensioning speed of 60 cpi allows you to shave rough wood to its desired thickness quickly and accurately, with virtually no snipe. Then, with a single pass at the quicker finishing speed of 90 cpi, your wood comes out ultra-smooth and ready to go. The razor-sharp, double-sided M2 steel knives of the 22-580 are powered by a 15 amp, 120-volt single-phase motor. Bells and whistles like a blade zero indicator (which lets you set the cutterhead to the exact thickness of your wood), patented cutterhead lock (which eliminates snipe), and easy blade-change system add to the value, as do the oversize infeed and outfeed tables, which make it easier to glide your wood through the machine. Overall, this is one solid piece of machinery. --Carl Thress

Wow, what a planer. When your not sure what to purchase it is a safe bet to go with DELTA......
Great tool:
I've beens using this planer for a few years and have had no problems. The dust collection works great. The two speeds are handy. I've been running red oak through it and it comes through so smooth I really don't need to sand. I've found replacement blades at Lowes.
Great Planner - Knife Holder could be better:
Love the planner. For some reason I have a problem with saw dust collecting under the knife which deflects the blade. I have to remove the blades and clean to get a good flat final pass. The knife holder itself is bent which speeds the process of dust collection. I can only guess as to the cause (probably my fault when I did not tighten it down enough before planning).
I have read many complaints about the knife life...
I planned some old deck boards (treated pine) and destroyed one side of the... more info
Better Than Expected:
I have a whole shop full of Delta machines so I know pretty much what to expect from this company. Even so, I still did lots of research before buing this planer which had nearly all favorable reviews. The most common complaint was knives dulling too fast. More on that in a moment. Out of the box and set up was quick with no problems; tables set up perfectly. Finish was excellent with zero snipe == for a while at least. There is a blue plastic film on the center machine bed. It looks like machine... more info
