Hell0 - I have a Delta 22-580 13" planer. I have had problems keeping
the feed rollers (infeed side) clean. This results in the planer
sometimes not feeding the board. I have to push or pull the board to get
it through, sometimes raising up the cutter head to free it. The planer
is fairly light, relatively speaking, and on deltas universal open
stand. The pushing and pulling has almost cause a tip once or twice.
I do have dust collection - There are virtually zero dust/chips/shavings
on the floor, a few on the bed, and an occasional chip/shaving on the
board as it exists the planer.
To avoid this feed problem I need to clean the infeed roller after about
every 10 or 15 linear feet of stock. If I don't then I begin to have
problems. To clean I need to raise the cutter head. I have yet to figure
out the depth stop usage. So, repeatability is a PIA.
I have had a project sort of sitting on the sidelines for a while which
involves a lot of long boards. I am running them through the planer,
skipping the jointer. Several 13', 15' x 4", 6", 8" The specific
application is as long rails, base, etc in a wainscoting project. Any
slight twist or bow will flatten out when they are installed.
Anyway - The crux of my question.
Should I upgrade to
The YC-15P at http://www.wilkemachinery.com/Yorkcraft.tpl
or the GO453 at http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0453
???
They seem to be the same machine.
Will I have same issue keeping rollers clean? Will quality of finish be
same better or worse? Will DC efficiency be as good, better or worse?
Am I just wasting $$?? Will I be trading up for a different set of
problems? I do not need the width.
Anyone want a Delta 22.580? Great condition. Make offer.

Get a Dust Collector. The planer will work properly.

I apologize. I read you post incorrectly. I read you did not have a DC.
When my planer, a similar model stops pulling wood properly, I clean the
rollers with alcohol and a 3m pad. Then I paste wax the platten. Works for
miles before I need to clean it again.
BTW, what kind of woods are you working with? Some woods, like Ipe for
instance, will gum up the rollers very fast.

One thing that nobody has mentioned is that the larger machines use
serrated steel infeed rollers rather than rubber ones. This means that
you may have problems with the roller leaving marks on the wood if you
take a really light pass.

Dave - I DO have DC. My dust collector only moves, according to specs,
1550 CFM with 11" of static pressure. Do you really think I need a
bigger dust collector? I have this one
http://www.grizzly.com/products/G1029Z
I only have the piping open to the planer and nothing else. I Do have a
few feet of ridgid piping and a couple of elbows in the mix. My point
is, I have very little shavings/dust/chips left behind EXCEPT on the
infeed roller. It very weird.

Should solve your problem. Iron planers with serrated steel infeed and bed
rollers solve the problem of rubber and poorly waxed platens. The capacity
won't go to waste. You'll find some use.

I clean rollers with green scrub pad too. I do it dry usually. Sometimes
a bit of water. I have not waxed the bed (Platten?). Like I said in
original post, I need to clean the infeed roller about every 15 linear
feet. Poplar, Cherry, Mahogany, Lacewood, Oak, Pine. Dealing with a lot
of poplar right now.
My DC efficiency I'm sure has something to do with it. Once I forgot to
open the blast gate and the wood stopped feeding after about 3'! When
the DC is working I have virtually no dust/chips/shavings left behind
EXCEPT on the infeed roller.
What I'm really looking for is someone to say "hell yes, one of those
15" planers will be significantly better in all aspects" I do not want
to give up DC performance (Dust, chips on floor, in air) and quality of
cut. The proposed models, I assume, will be a bit quieter, have
sharpenable blades, be more stable and always feed ???

Looks like you read it the same way I initially did. Reread. He says
he DOES have dust collection. For some reason (maybe deciding the
solution before reading the problem?) I read "do not" as well, the
first time I read this.

Alex -- Replace "nospam" with "mail" to reply by email. Checked infrequently.
I have both a 12.5" 22-560 and a DC-380 15.0 planer.
The 22-560 doew a fine job but it is lighter and a
wee bit of a pain to work with.
The DC-380 is VERY heavy and quite powerful with a
full blown induction motor.
It is very difficult to do a "fair" comparison of the
two planers, but I will say this. The lunch box planer
does produce a much finer cut in my opinion.
The blades are 50 times easier to replace.
The DC-380 is a major league horse and will plane ALL
day long with NO stopping. Changing blades is a long
and tedious affair....
I have both and I like both for different reasons.

Hell yes, one of those 15" planers will be significantly better in all
aspects.
Really, it will. Use one only once when we put a bunch of cherry through it
and not a hint of bogging down. One guy feeding, another catching, it went
real quick. I have the same Delta as you, but my use if light enough that I
can't justify a big one. No comparison though. Comparing a mini-van to a
10 wheel dump truck.

These little portaplaners like to have their platens waxed. I think if you
wax the platen you'll find you can cut quite a bit of material before having
to wax it again, and you won't have to mess with the rollers.
Of course, having the bigger planer is aways nice, but still a good idea to
wax the platen to keep things slippy.
Between running multiple pieces, sanding, etc., I've never had finishing
problems from using a little paste wax on the planer platen, jointer fence
and tables, and saw table.
