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