TABLE ROLLERS

Your planer is supplied with two table rollers (A) Fig. 21, which aid in feeding the stock by reducing friction be- tween the stock and the table and rotate as the stock is fed through the planer.

1.To raise the table rollers, loosen locking lever (B) Fig. 21, and pull control lever (C) upward to the desired height setting.

2.To lower the table rollers, loosen locking lever (B) Fig. 21, and push control lever (C) downward to the desired height setting.

3.After adjusting height of the table rollers, tighten locking lever (B) Fig. 21.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING TABLE ROLLER HEIGHT

It is not possible to give exact dimensions on the proper height setting of the table rollers because each type of wood has different behavioral patterns. As a general rule, when planing rough stock, the table rollers should be set high (.003" to .005") above the table surface. When planing finish stock, the table rollers should be set low (.001") above or level with the table surface.

To check and adjust the height of the table rollers, proceed as follows:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE.

2.With the table rollers in the lowest position, lay a straight edge (A) Fig. 22, across both table rollers (B) on the left side of the table as shown.

3.With a feeler gage (B) Fig. 23, measure the gap between the table surface and the straight edge (A) near the infeed roller (C).

4.If an adjustment to the infeed table roller is necessary, loosen locknut (D) Fig. 24, which is located under the table and below the infeed roller and rotate adjustment nuts (E) as necessary to raise or lower the height of the infeed roller. NOTE: It will be necessary to raise the table to gain access to the adjustment nuts. Tighten locknut (D) after adjustment is made.

5.Check and adjust the height of the infeed table roller on the other side of the table in the same manner.

22-451, 22-450 specifications

Delta 22-450 and Delta 22-451 are notable models within Delta's commitment to high-performance, precision woodworking tools. Designed for both amateur and professional woodworkers, these tools embody an ideal blend of innovation, usability, and durability.

One of the primary features of the Delta 22-450 is its powerful motor, which delivers reliable performance even under heavy workloads. This model is equipped with a 1.5 HP motor that ensures consistent power, allowing users to tackle various materials with ease. The motor is designed to operate quietly while minimizing vibrations, which enhances user comfort and precision during operation.

In contrast, the Delta 22-451 takes this a step further, boasting a slightly more robust 1.75 HP motor. This feature allows for increased cutting capacity and the ability to work with thicker and denser materials without bogging down. Both models come with a high-quality build, featuring cast-iron bases that provide stability and reduce vibration, further contributing to accuracy in cuts.

Another standout characteristic of the Delta 22-450 and 22-451 is their innovative fence system. Both models utilize a patented fence design that is easy to adjust and lock securely in place, providing users with confidence in their cutting precision. This technology makes repetitive cuts simple and accurate, which is invaluable when working on larger projects.

Additionally, safety is a key focus in the design of these tools. Delta has incorporated various safety features, such as blade guards and anti-kickback mechanisms, to protect users during operation. This attention to safety is crucial, especially for those who may be newer to woodworking or those operating in busy environments.

Furthermore, these models also feature a dust collection system that maintains a clean workspace. The integrated ports allow for connection to dust extraction systems, ensuring that the work environment remains clear of debris, which not only keeps the workspace safer but also improves visibility for more accurate work.

In summary, the Delta 22-450 and 22-451 are exceptional tools designed for both professional woodworkers and dedicated hobbyists. With powerful motors, advanced fence systems, robust safety features, and effective dust collection, these models are engineered to enhance the woodworking experience and deliver superior results. Their blend of reliability and innovative technology makes them worthwhile investments for anyone serious about woodworking.
