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

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'. Steve |

Gloatfully yours, Steve 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. Ed |

Gloatfully yours, Steve 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 Chad |

Steve 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. |

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? 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. Ed |

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.

Lowes Delta Clearance
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. Eric "Steve" wrote in message m... Lowes appears to be clearing out their Delta stuff.

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! Paul |

Lowes Delta Clearance
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. Gary |

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. "Steve" wrote in message m...

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.........

Gloatfully yours, Steve Steve, Just call the Delta customer service number (1-800-223-7278) and tell them you bought a display unit and it was missing the spare knife set, wrench, blade tool, manual, etc. They will send them to you free of charge. I bought a display TP400LS planer a few weeks ago for $150 (missing all extra's, and also the handle screws), and they sent everything except the stand, which comes with that model. They said the stand was the store's responsibility, maybe because it's boxed seperately...my guess. I got the parts shipped to my door about 4 days later. Actually, she forgot to include the manual, but I guess I'll just download it. Anyway, it's definately worth making the call...the spare knife set alone is a $30 item. Tom Thanks Tom. The first rep I talked to in 'Parts' told me that they don't give you missing parts for display models - but she'll sell them to me. The second rep in 'Customer Service' said the same, but then felt sorry for me and agreed to send me a free knife changing wrench. I was tempted to try for the magnetic knife holder too but didn't want to press my luck. BTW, I don't think the 22-580 comes with spare knives. Steve |

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! Jim www.woodblog.com Chris -- Change 'there' to 'woh' to reply via email |

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. Bob |
