6.To check the height of the outfeed table roller, proceed as follows: with a feeler gage (B) Fig. 25, measure the gap between the table surface and the straight edge (A) near the outfeed roller (F).

7.If an adjustment to the outfeed table roller is necessary, loosen locknut (G) Fig. 26, which is located under the table and below the outfeed table roller (F), and rotate adjustment nuts (H) as necessary, to raise or lower the height of the outfeed roller (F). NOTE: It will be necessary to raise the table to gain access to the adjustment nuts. Tighten locknut (G) Fig. 26, after the adjustment is made.

8.Check and adjust the height of the outfeed table roller on the other side of the table in the same manner.

ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS

A series of anti-kickback fingers (A) Fig. 27, are provided on the infeed end of the planer to prevent kickback of the workpiece during planing operations. These anti-kickback fingers operate by gravity and no adjustment is required. It is necessary, however, to inspect them occasionally to make sure they are free of gum and pitch and that they operate independently and freely.

WHEN INSPECTING AND CLEANING THE ANTI-KICKBACK FINGERS, MAKE CERTAIN THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.

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.
