 Finally, no piles of chips! |

when I bought my Delta 22-540 planer several years ago, there was no way of catching the piles of chips and dust as they were made. A couple of years later there still was no dust collection accessory available so I quit looking. I happened to do a web search a few weeks back just on a whim and there it was.
I couldn't be happier with this product. It does the job well. It seals where it needs to, a large funnel shape helps chips flow to dust collection port, and installation took all of two seconds. Spin off the wing nuts, lift off old chip deflector, slip on the dust collector, spin on the two wing nuts.
Done. |
Totally worth it

My only "gripe" is that Delta should make this standard equipment on the TP305 instead of having to buy it as an add-on.
That said, the product is as easy as it gets to put on. A few screws and the old one is off and the new one is on. It fits 4" dust collection hose perfectly. I hooked the new planer hood up to my Habour Freight 1HP dust collector. I planed some white oak and with the DC hooked up, nothing was left behind. The new DC adapter for my planer worked perfectly.
If you are debating on whether or not it's worth it to buy this adapter, I say "heck yes!" Before I had a DC my planer left chips and dust all over the place. With my DC and this adapter, it's totally clean. |
should come with the planer

| this is the best thing to hit a planer , you will wear out a shop vac trying to keep up with the chips and you still wont get it all .but this makes that easy and you dont miss any dust plus i think it helps to cool your blades which makes them last longer . it is no doubt a good addition to anyones delta planer. |
It REally Works

| Yes, I could not believe it, but this darn thing picks up about 90% of the sawdust from my Delta planer. I had to use some duct tape to attack the connector to my 2" vacuum hose, but even that works great. The Delta people need to include this when purchasing their planers. |
PERFECT!

| If you have this planer you need this chip collector. It works, it fits, It's easy to install, you'll get a better cut without the chips flying all around getting caught between the knife and your lumber. It's cheap. I have had this planner for 10 years I should have got the hood sooner. You will need an adapter if your not set-up for four inch collection. |
