The dust collector attachment for the Delta Planer works great with my dust collection system.
Your dust collector hose is mounted directly above the outfeed and must be suspended somehow. Before I got this dust collector adapter I had sawdust and chips flying all over my shop. Very easy to install. Don't allow the dust collector hose to be pulled upwards as it might damage your new dust chute. With a 1 HP dust collector ALL shavings are collected. My only gripe is that this is made out of plastic and not very sturdy.
I wish the price was a little cheaper. Installed in 1 minute and works great.
Would like to see one designed for the 12 1/2 planer but this one works satisfactory With a small modification it will work on the 12 1/2 inch planer.
Spin off the wing nuts, lift off old chip deflector, slip on the dust collector, spin on the two wing nuts. It does the job well. It seals where it needs to, a large funnel shape helps chips flow to dust collection port, and installation took all of two seconds. when I bought my Delta 22-540 planer several years ago, there was no way of catching the piles of chips and dust as they were made. Done. I happened to do a web search a few weeks back just on a whim and there it was. A couple of years later there still was no dust collection accessory available so I quit looking. I couldn't be happier with this product.
