I too have the 22-580 delta 13" . Excellent machine for a benchtop and
hard
to beat it for the money. The blades (I've seen them from $30-40) are
easy
to change and are reversible.

I'm going to jump on here also. I paid a lot more when they first came out
but if you can get it cheap at Lowes, there is not better value. At list
price, (or close to it) the DeWalts are good also.

Check out dust collectors also. I used my planer twice and bought a dust
collector.
