Title: Professional high end furniture maker
Review: I bought this planer over a year ago after a lot of research and decided it must be worth the extra cost. I'm not sure why all of the trade magazines gave it such a high review. My complaints about this machine are many. Poor dust collection. I have it hooked up to a jet 1,100 cfm collector and still get a fair amount of debri. The dust chute (which you have to pay extra for) gets in the way and one has to flip it around everytime you need the collector on the other side. The two speeds are a gimick. There appears to me to be no difference in the quality of cut. The knives do not last very long and are prone to little chips. Lastly the "blade zero" switch is not accurate. So after a year of frustration I bought a Dewalt DW735. This planer is a sure winner. I love it. Now this machine is worth the money. It is really too bad that delta has really gone down hill in the last few years. Hope they can step it up.
Is the review positive or negative?
