This is really confusing. Photos would definitely be appreciated just to settle my curiosity.
Did you find out what made it freeze? Did you stop using this machine for a really long time and it rusted?

Yes, I have 3 phase!

I was taught to replace everything when doing maintenance on chain drives that are worn. On AG equipment and bicycles etc., the chains and sprockets are consumables. This video shows how to check for too much wear. 5% elongation = a worn out chain. If a worn out chain has been run for a while, the sprockets will be worn out too. The chain and sprockets are not likely to be proprietary on the Delta planer. +1 for McMaster Carr, Tractor Supply has a few, Granger has a lot.

Nope, not the one. The one from Grizzly has more teeth. Looks like I might be out of luck. What a shame. The planer is worthless without that sprocket. I wonder why Delta discontinued all these important parts.

Sue, I don't know your location but if you have a Motion Industries, Kaman, or other industrial repair parts supplier in your area you could take the chain and sprockets to them and they will help you select new parts. There's no reason why you couldn't change the number of teeth on the sprockets, as long as you keep the ratio the same. No reason why you couldn't change from metric, if that's what the parts are, to standard SAE parts.

Something like this? You can ream or pay someone to ream the bore larger and add keyway? You need to figure out what chain is being used. Are the other sprockets okay?

Yeah, a machine shop can always get you where you need to be shaft wise

The other sprockets are good, and the chain says 06B. I am not sure how to add photos. I am new here. What should I do to post some photos? I have been using the machine to plane about 30 1" x 6" x 8' rough sawn oak boards recently, until this happened, and have used it off and on over the past 10 years. It does have some rust, but not that bad. I would be willing to change all three sprockets like has been suggested. I think the photos need to happen next. Please advise how to post photos.

Yes, Motion Industries about 30 minutes away. Thank you everyone for all the support and encouragement. Sounds like there may be hope yet. Just noticed the way to add photos. I will take some tomorrow. Also, how do I become a contributor?

06B is a metric chain size. I would guess the shafts and keyways are also metric. Time to buy a horrible fright $20 digital caliper and make sure.

Not recommending but these companies are possible sources. Some seem to be calling it 3/8 chain. No ida if that is a true interchange or just kind sorta close enough. Looks like you need a fairly standard size.

5/8 bore would be 16.002 mm. I bet the shaft is 16mm since the teeth are metric. I do not know this machine, where was it made and when. The bolts or screws you have taken out.. metric or English threads?

What should I take pictures of? And when it says 06B-2-27, what does the 2 mean?
Contributor
06B-2-27 .. I assume the 2 means duplex sprocket.
