Harder (Topeka, KS USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful While the price may be tempting, if you are wanting this for large projects, large quantities or hardwood, or just a lot of use, invest in a better machine. This will not make the recommended depths of cuts on very many board feet of wood before getting hot. I learned to work in small batches and give the machine a rest, but what I really needed was a planer that could work when I wanted to for as long as I wanted to. The warranty is out on mine, the motor totally shelled and a replacement motor cannot be purchased. This is a low-use throw-away machine and Delta should be ashamed to have their name on it. GREAT PLANER October 1, 2009 Danny ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS WE HAVE A DELTA TP305 AND A DEWALT WE USE IN THE SHOP AND SINCE I AM NOT A FAST TYPER AND TAKE FOREVER TYPING I'LL JUST SAY DELTA IS BY FAR MORE DEPENDABLE THAN OUR DEWALT SURE DEWALT LOOKS NICER AND IS A LITTLE MORE QUIET BUT TRUST ME MY DELTA PERFORMS A WHOLE LOT BETTER AND SEEMS TO TAKE A BEATING WE HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE DEWALT FOR REPAIRS AND WE HAVE OWNED THE DELTA LONGER BUT LIKE I SAID IF I NEW HOW TO TYPE FASTER AND HAD THE TIME I WOULD EXPLAIN ALOT MORE REASONS WHY I LIKE DELTA MORE... Hardworking planer August 18, 2009 Adam Kmiec (USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful My Delta planer struggles with oak wood, but does not give up. Works hard and gets results. Supprised how good this planer performs. May 26, 2009 Robert M. Quigel (Severna Park, MD) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful A friend gave some rough cut oak lumber. A local lumber yard near my home charged me $15 to plane one 10 foot piece of oak. I figured with 25 pieces of lumber to plane, I could save money by planing it myself with a faily inexpensive planer. The pieces I've planed so far are at least 8 feet long and range in width for about 4 to 12 inches. I had snipe on the first couple of pieces, but found if I lifted the piece slightly when it was about through the planer the snipe was elimated on most of the pieces thereafter. I got 8 pieces to plane yet, but so far I'm very satisified with the planer's performace. Since I running rather long pieces through, I run about 3 board at a time and give the planer time to cool off. For the money, a basement woodworker like me without a lot of lumber to plane might want check out this planer. very good May 13, 2009 Kavin Horton have only used it to plane some eastern white cedar. i think that it did a very good job.easy set up and simple to run. would buy another one for home use .
