5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stand -- Solid as a rock, February 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: DELTA 50-322 Planer Stand (For 12D 12-1/2DELTA Planers) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this stand for my 12 1/2" Delta 22-560 planer and it's great. It was super easy to assemble and it's rock solid. The working height is about perfect.

I considered building my own stand but a woodworking show vendor recommended this stand and he was right. If you have a 12" or 12-1/2" Delta planer, this is a great platform for it. The top is some kind of MDF but and it's hard as a rock. If you have another brand of planer and it fits on this top, I suspect it would be easy to drill mounting holes for it. The Delta 22-560 is 23 5/8" x 21 1/2" (L x W) and there's a couple of inches to spare in each dimension on the stand. I'd imagine most portable planers in the 12" to 13" class will fit.

Apparently there is also a mobile base specifically made for this stand (Delta PN:50-323) but I've not seen it in person. Since my shop is on the small side, I may buy the mobile base as well.

I will add an adjustable height roller table to use as an out feed surface and that should complete the planer workstation in my shop.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Piece of Crap, October 6, 2005

As you can see from the picture, this stand consists of four legs, four upper brackets, four lower brackets, and a table board.

I started by attaching the upper brackets to the legs. When I went to attach the lower brackets, I found that there was so much material projecting beyond the bolt holes that they would not fit inside the legs. I spent two hours at a bench grinder removing about 1/4" of steel from each end of each of four lower brackets to get them to fit. Then I had to paint the ground-off areas to keep them from rusting.

Once I finally got the stand assembled, I went to bolt on the table board and found that the mounting holes in the board were off by a full TWO INCHES compared to the holes in the stand. Back to the drill press for more modification.

Folks, these parts simply do not fit together. Delta should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for allowing a product like this to get to market. This borders on outright fraud. And Amazon, you should TAKE THIS PRODUCT OFF YOUR WEBSITE IMMEDIATELY until Delta fixes their design and/or manufacturing problem. Customers, PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT until you see a review here or an announcement by Amazon that the problems I and other reviewers have outlined have been fixed.

It is really pathetic that a once-proud American company like Delta cannot design and build a simple four-legged stand without screwing it up this badly. I am only rating it one star because there is no option to rate it what it deserves, a ZERO.

I purchased this same stand through Amazon a year or so back and it went together like a gloove and I have been very pleased with it. I would give it five stars. I ordered another one a couple a weeks ago disregarding the poor ratings at Amazon. When it arrived the box was half open. Luckily all the componets were still inside but the top was damaged on one corner. When I assembled the stand I found that the four top braces were a inch and one half to short. I assembled it anyway with great effort and sure enough the holes in the top would not line up. Will have to drill new holes if I don't decide to send it back.
Shame on Delta for letting a quaility table get out with wrong parts in it. Seems there are quality and packaging issues here!
