Maintenance Instructions
The Delta 13 x 5" Thickness Planer is fully en­
closed within its heavily ribbed fine grey iron castings
which provide minimum vibration and maximum ri­
gidity between its working parts. This machine is
compact, ruggedly designed, has a large capacity and
is equipped for accurate work in cabinet, furniture,
sash, door and interior trim factories, contractors, box
manufacturers, pattern, job, woodworking and mainte­
nance shops, schools and many other woodworking
and industrial plants and shops.
This machine will uniformly plane material up to
13" wide by 5" thick. It will take pieces as short as
6" long without requiring the use of a following block
and dress the stock as thin as 1/16" thick. The maxi­
mum depth of cut is Ys" with a feed rate of 1 4 lineal
feet per minute. This means that 168" per minute will
be planed uniformly since the cutter head takes 75
cuts on each inch of material fed.
The overall dimensions of the machine are : 35"
wide, 26" deep and 39%" high.
The basic unit No. 22-101 consists of the following
standard parts: Base, right and left-hand columns,
table, safety type chip breaker, pressure bar and gear
box made of fine grey iron castings, safety type cutter
head complete with knife blades, ball bearings and
housings, matched set of 3 high-speed steel knife
blades, table rollers (idlers) , pOwer driven serrated in­
feed and smooth out-feed rolls, gear box mechanism in­
cluding a unique type clutch arrangement, 7" motor

CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
The base, right and left-hand columns, table, safety
type chip breaker, pressure bar and gear box are made
of fine grey iron castings to provide maximum rigidity
between the working parts and decrease vibrations to
a minimum to produce quiet smooth running operation.
The cutter head runs in two single row sealed and
shielded ball bearings which are prelubricated for their
entire life. It has 3 high-speed steel knife blades which
can be easily adjusted and securely locked in the dove­
tail grooves of the cutter head. The cylindrical cutter
head body is made from stress-proof steel and its high­
speed steel knife blades are ground to close tolerances
to assure proper balance. Large chip clearance is pro­
vided by the maximum knife angularity in the cutter
head to assure the least possible amount of cutting
friction.
