I have a love/hate relationship with my 12.5" Delta planer which I
bought because it was a few bucks cheaper.

It works fine for awhile and then gets grumpy as hell and refuses to
feed properly. I replace the blades, adjust the roller height and it
works for awhile but long before I am ready, it gets grumpy again.
The height adjustment is a real joke and is more mucking than
adjusting.

I replaced the entire cutting head because the bearings went out and I
am really getting tired of this.

I was on my way to buy a DeWalt but I thought I would get some
opinions before plunging again.

What are the thoughts on these two planers?
