- I too have recently purchased this planer and I also have seen this problem.
- Actually, what I see is "sniping" on both ends of the work (ie,
- both ends get planed a bit thinner than the middle). Try calling the Delta
- service number (their 800 number is given in the manual). When I called,
- the helpful service guy knew exactly what I was seeing and gave me a short
- list of adjustments to make, none of which involved the blades (which you have
- already tried adjusting). I wish I could tell you if the adjustments solved
- the problem, but unfortunately I haven't had the time to actually try them
- yet.
-
- The Delta folks seem real nice though ;-)
-
- I would be interested to know how it turns out for you, and whether anyone else
- has had problems with this particular tool. I must say it was a little
- disappointing to have to play with the thing right out of the box, so to
- speak. It's my third Delta tool (the others being a jointer and drill press),
- and so far I've been pretty happy with Delta quality.
-
- Good luck,
