Hell0 - I have a Delta 22-580 13" planer. I have had problems keeping the feed rollers (infeed side) clean. This results in the planer sometimes not feeding the board. I have to push or pull the board to get it through, sometimes raising up the cutter head to free it. The planer is fairly light, relatively speaking, and on deltas universal open stand. The pushing and pulling has almost cause a tip once or twice.
I do have dust collection - There are virtually zero dust/chips/shavings on the floor, a few on the bed, and an occasional chip/shaving on the board as it exists the planer.
To avoid this feed problem I need to clean the infeed roller after about every 10 or 15 linear feet of stock. If I don't then I begin to have problems. To clean I need to raise the cutter head. I have yet to figure out the depth stop usage. So, repeatability is a PIA.
I have had a project sort of sitting on the sidelines for a while which involves a lot of long boards. I am running them through the planer, skipping the jointer. Several 13', 15' x 4", 6", 8" The specific application is as long rails, base, etc in a wainscoting project. Any slight twist or bow will flatten out when they are installed.
Anyway - The crux of my question.
Should I upgrade to The YC-15P at
Will I have same issue keeping rollers clean? Will quality of finish be same better or worse? Will DC efficiency be as good, better or worse?
Am I just wasting $$?? Will I be trading up for a different set of problems? I do not need the width.
Anyone want a Delta 22.580? Great condition. Make offer.
