Delta 580 or Ridgid Planer?
I've more or less made up my mind, but wanted to get a quick read of
what people in the NG thought.....Both planers are very highly rated Ridgid 13" Planer Pros: $300 includes 2 sets of knives, stand, and dust hood "Lifetime" warrantee thru the Borg 66 cuts per inch at 26 fpm feed speed $29 for a set of knives Repeat-a-cut feature Cons: Borg Proprietary knives Emerson - OWT switcheroo Delta 580 Pros: Delta name, reputation. 2 feed speeds - 60 / 96 CPM Blade zero feature Cons: Fast feed speed is 24 fpm 2 year warrantee $309 includes planer only, plus rebate crap $39 for a set of knives Gotta go Saturday plus return the Ridgid, which is still sitting in the box. Thanx Y |
