Thanks. I need to change my knives

Thanks. Just did mine after watching you. Perfect! Plus I had my jointer gauge ready....not the Delta guage!!!! So you saved me.!!!!

The blade height tool looks like I makes this process easy.very nice.thanks

Big thank you, I know this vid is almost 3 years old but it was a big help. I gave my planer to my father in law years ago, got it back last year and , well, it needed a bunch of TLC. Now I know what that tool was for i chased around for years in my TOol area (blade adjuster). Well, sadly i have either lost, misplaced or threw away. TIme to get to making a new one.. Thank you again.

I have one just like it

Thanks this was a big help !!

I have this exact, same model that I bought brand new some 15/16 years ago. I put the 4" Dust/Chip hood on it and, made a much longer In & Out Feed table for it measuring ¾" x 12" x 5½' that slips in and replaces the two small in and out feed tables that came with it. Just shim it for your planning station situation so it's firm and level and it eliminates the overwhelming majority of snipe.

thanks headed to the shop to change blades

That takes the rough cut lumber and slicks it up real nice.

Good job Pete. Planers are so handy. Bout time you got those changed. Lol. Keep up the good work 👍

I never new how handy they were tell I got one. Thanks for watching man

Great day for video, my BD. Also great video, ty

Yeah! The old stuff is usually better! lol Thanks for the video Pete! Have a good one!

I have that planer, but lost the springs. Have ordered new but do have the original wrench and knife setting jig. Guess that jig is rare - thank you for the video.

Nice planer. I will have to look around for a used one. I've always wanted one but like you say they are crazy expensive. Take Care.

Awesome

Thank you

Yours is the first video I saw where the person actually had that setting guide. Everyone else struggled quite a bit to get the height just correct and consistent. I'll have to figure out a way to re-create something like that.

How's she goin'? Great job changing the blades. That is a pretty simple job isn't it. I just did a total maintenance on my Mastercraft Planer which is identical to the Delta. Great job and it plans some nice too eh!!!

Very informative. Thanks for making this video. You must be a machinist/tool and die maker of some sort to produce a height gage for the blades. If you do, I may suggest you can mass produce them and sell it on line. You can make so many wood worker enthusiast like me very happy to buy it from you.

That is one of the tools that i wish i had. they just are too expensive for the about that i would use it. nice job.

how much did you pay for yours? I got one of these and a router with bits for 100 bucks, since i didn't know whether either of them worked and either did the seller. Just curious if i got a good deal. I tested it out, and it works fine

It is the same one I just got. Thanks for the explanation. I was just wondering what blade model you had for the planner. And where did you find the knife setting tool. Thanks

It sounds, from what I gathered, it came with the machine when he bought it. You can still order them, either from Delta, or some parts place like "e-ReplacementParts;,", etc. I get blades from Woodcraft and, I believe, that's where I also ordered the 4" Dust/Chip Hood for it.

How is another way to gauge the blades without the tool

Where can one send the old blades to get sharpened?

You would think you could get them sharpened but I might not be cost-effective. I’ve never heard of a place that sharpens planer blade. Thanks for watching man

The new blades looked reversible. So were the old blades worn out on both sides or not reversible?

They are "Reversible", as you call them. {2 edged.} So are the replacement "Wood River" brand ones from Woodcraft.

where did you order your blades from????
