Anyone know where I can get a manual for the planer?

You can download them from their website in PDF format. Wonder why they are
clearing them out, going with a cheaper brand maybe?

Thanks, got the manual. Looking at the manual it appears I'm also
missing the knife changing wrench and a magnetic knife removal tool.
Anyone know if I'll really need these?

BTW, the tool dept guy at Lowes said most of the Delta and Porter
Cable stuff is being discontinued because the DeWalt company bought
out the Delta/PC company. I'm guessing the competition is being
eliminated for competing models. I'll be keeping an eye on Lowes for
more clearance bargains. I'll just need to expain to SWMBO how much
I'm 'saving'.

Make sure you get a spare set of blades if they are discontinuing Delta
stuff. They have the best price on the blades, about $12 less than another
Wood named store that carries them.

When were you there? I was at my 'local' Lowes on Saturday, and didn't
see any Delta specials (I've been considering getting the same planer). If
they've implemented specials since Saturday, then it's probably worth my
while to drive down there. It is about 30 minutes though, so I'd rather
not make the trip if this 'clearance' has been going on for some time now.

Thanks for the info

I'll bet the wrench is a stamped piece of steel that you would eventually
replace with a real wrench anyway and I'll bet that you could get a small
magnet on the end of one of those extender things to pick the blades.

The knife changing wrench has a torx end. You'll do better with a real torx
driver anyway. The magnet thingy is nice to have as it holds the blade
while you take it in and out. I guess you can use any magnet. It is safer
on the fingers that way as those blades are SHARP. (or so I'm told;) ) You
can always call Delta for one.

the magnetic jig is really a piece of plastic with a magnet on the end,
really not necessary except it keeps your fingers away from the sharp blades
when changing them. If your shaky, wear gloves, it's just as good. The
blade wrench you could order from delta,(maybe tell them you just bought the
planer and it was missing) or just use an alan wrench (i can't remember the
size) the blades are as easy to change as advertised. the 22-580 is a
great machine for a benchtop.

The downtown Richmond, VA is also having the clearance. Good deals on a
couple of their lower end contractor's saws. I think their normal priced
$400 saw was going for a little over $200. Their 2 speed planer was around
$200 as well. I picked up their lower end hollow chicel mortiser for $129.
Not a bad deal, normally goes for around $200.

Monday evening, happened to stop in some screws. Was told sale
started Sunday. The tool dept would probably let you know by phone.

Most - but not all of the Delta stuff here was on clearance too.
Looks like the older models are targeted. The new triangle-shaped air
cleaner was not. Nor was the 4" belt/disc sander combo.

The MM300 (?model number?) mortiser was $99.

FYI...At least for my Lowes store, the clearance prices are on the web
page, and you can place an online order for pickup at the store with
no shipping charge.... www.lowes.com make sure you select your local
store.

Thanks to the OP for the heads-up!

I went to Blue Borg at lunch today. Just got back. I looked but didn't see
any great Delta bargains. I only saw the typical mix of returned
merchandise of various brands, (mostly those well used tools people "rent"
from Lowes by returning them for a refund after they've used them for the
project they were working on).

I did buy 3 sheets of 3/4 maple ply for $25 each. Each had a little damage
but at least 95% first quality.

When the Lowes associate said discontinued, he probably meant Lowes was
discontinuing it (ie. not selling it any more), and not that Delta was
discontinuing it.

The sale of PC/Delta was only announced July 19th. The sale hasn't
closed, so Black & Decker doesn't even own PC/Delta yet.

I think the Lowe's guy was full of BS. Black & Decker can't discontinue
stuff it doesn't own yet. Why would B&D buy PC/Delta to discontinue
everything anyhow?

This was probably something Lowes had in the plans before July 19th.

I was at the Lowes in Rockford, IL yesterday and the entire tool area was
being reset including new shelving and everything. I'm sure Lowes is
redoing their entire tool area and it has nothing to do with B&D buying
PC/Delta.

Lowe's in Inverness, AL has one left in the box, plus the display. The
manager was surprised when mine rang up at $229, talking about how good a
deal that was. Their display was still marked $447.

They also have the DP 400 Drill Press - 161/2" floor model.. It's called
"Shopmaster", as opposed to the "Industrial" model. But, for a hobbist like
me, it looks good enough. Their price is $229. It was normally $299. I
check some of the other on line sources, and they're showing as high as
$399.

The tool guy said they only had the display model, but they had one coming
in the next few days. Otherwise, it was an "order" item. Sounds like they
have them, but they're not going to stock the individual stores beyond one
or two.

Now, how to convice SWMBO.........

When I got mine (Summer 2002), it came with nothing extra. And I paid
$400 for it!

I had to order the dust collector attachment gizmo.

Later, they came with the dust collector and a spare set of knives
(IIRC).

I need to tune it up; the carriage is not exactly parallel to the table,
so boards that go through on the left side come out a little thinner
than boards that go through on the right. I cut a bunch of half lap
joints; the test pieces were perfect, the work pieces were off by up to
..010".

If you don't have a planer, I'd get this one, at this price. Sure, the
DeWalt 735 is newer, and not as tall, and has a third knife (and a third
speed?) But it's twice the money!

The dust collector nozzle is still an extra cost purchase. I just bought
the planer and had to go buy the nozzle.. I've always heard how much of a
mess a planer can make. I guess I'll never know. This collector nozzle works
so well I don't even have to sweep after using the planer.
