December 5, 201312 yr comment_7104 Freight truck brought it today.Instruction manual is good. Got it unpacked and assembled on my stand in less than an hour. Ran the first wood through it at the dimension speed, a rough 4/4 piece of Pin Oak. Amazing finish, even at that speed. I’m sure the slower speed (more cuts per inch) will be just as pretty. Oh, and not a hint of snipe!Attaching the tables was a snap and, they are dead even with the bed. Did I mention….no snipe!The depth of cut indicator and the cutter height gauge are right on.The Dewalt replaces a Delta 22-590. The DeWalt is a MAJOR upgrade.This appears to be a rugged, well made and accurate planer. I’m a happy camper.Gene'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.'

December 5, 201312 yr comment_7109 Glad to hear it.Maybe one of these days I'll find the means to get one. For now, I'm limited to what I can get at the lumber yard.Harry BrinkBulldog WoodworkingMontana Report
December 5, 201312 yr comment_7108 Merry Christmas!! Glad you didn't make the same mistake I did when I got mine. My old planer didn't have a chip collection method. I fired up the DeWalt figuring it would be about the same. I didn't realize they used FA-18 engines for the chip ejector fan.
