Description of DELTA 22-780X X5 15-Inch 3 Horsepower Planer, 240-Volt 1 PhaseWhen it?s time to plane rough cut hardwoods, the Delta 22-780XX X5 15-inch planer with top-mounted motor and adjustable bed rollers will reduce cutting time with less noise and little to no snipe on the finished work. Once the rollers have been set, only the head needs to be adjusted for varying stocks. This will save time when planing several different sized woods. The deluxe roller stand allows the planer to be adjusted and moved about to accommodate longer stock. The 230-volt, single phase, 3 horsepower motors turns the three cutter heads so smoothly when the feed is set at low speed that the stock is almost ready to finish. The serrated feed roller has "anti-kickback fingers" to protect you and your workers when this powerful planer is in operation. Due to its substantial size and weight the Delta Planer?s shipment is currently restricted to the lower 48 states. -- C. Dwight Barnett
Tools and Hardware Reviews of DELTA 22-780X X5 15-Inch 3 Horsepower Planer, 240-Volt 1 PhaseCustomer Review: Great Machine Summary: 5 Stars
After using a portable planer for about 8 years, I decided to invest a bigger machine. This planer is identical to the DC-380 exept for a different paint job. And it is heavy!I am one of the lucky ones to have a hoist to help unload it. If you don't, have 2 or 3 helpers to unload and set it up. It took me almost two days to get it up and running. I first determined that it was too low for me, so I solved that problem by putting large wooden blocks between the bottom of the stand and the moble base. By the way, that moble base is an absolute must if you plan to move it at all. Then I discovered that the cord was too short, so I put a longer cord on with a twist lock plug. Most of my machines have twist lock plugs,anyway. When it is assembled you must be sure the infeed, cutter, and outfeed rollers are adjusted properly. There is a gage block that you must make, and the manual shows you how. The dust chute has an outlet of 5", so a trip to the local hardware store to get a 5" to 4" reducer and some duct tape, because is was not a good fit. It is essential to hook it up to a dust collecter, or you will be hip deep in chips very fast. After all was said and done, I am pleased with its peformance. The serrated infeed roller keeps the wood moving through at a steady pace, and it has two speeds, but I stick with the slow speed to get the best finish. The roller extensions eliminate snipe, once they are adjusted. If you get rough cut lumber, this is a worthwhile investment.
