I was able to come across a Delta 22-540 12 inch Bench Top Planer for basically free $25. I had to tear it apart to fix one of the sides of the main casting.
I got it fixed and cleaned up. I did not get the knife setting gauge so do not know where to set the blade in relationship to the feed rollers. I have set them even and does work, does not feed great. Anybody know how far below the feed rollers the knifes should be? In relationship to the table I guess the knives would be above the rollers.
I also in my haste in cleaning pulled the feed rollers for a thorough cleaning. When I flipped the machine over the springs fell out and to my surprise they were different lengths. Does anybody know if the long spring goes on the in feed or the out feed?
Thanks in advance
