2.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, October 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Delta 50-259 Dust Hood Attachment (For Model 22-540) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I purchased this product to help control the dust and shavings generated by my 12" planer. The dust collector did help but it fills up quickly and then the dust overflows the top and bottom and becomes ineffective. While browsing the products on this page I saw a dust collector with the outlet in the center of the collector instead of the side. I am hoping it will fit the 12 inch planer because I believe a center outlet will be much more effective than the side outlet.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little flimsy for Delta, January 31, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Delta 50-259 Dust Hood Attachment (For Model 22-540) (Tools & Home Improvement)

The metal dust hood is a little flimsy for what I usually expect from Delta. The instructions were photocopies of bad photocopies and were nearly useless. The hood goes over the existing chip chute, it does not replace it. This was not clear in the instructions. If you remove the existing chip chute to add the dust collector, it leaves the blades exposed. However, it is easy enough to see how it fits on the planer. The holes, etc fitted well. It works well and collects most of the dust and chips. I hessitated before buying based on other reviews. I think it works well for people using a dust collector with plenty of air flow. It probably does not work well if you are trying to use a shop vac. Overall, it's OK for me. I would not have minded spending a few more dollars if the quality was better.

1.0 out of 5 stars barely worth the cost, October 4, 2001

My small shop was a mess after even minimal planing with my Delta 12" planer. I thought the Delta dust hood attachement would help. It does but just barely.
First off the damn thing didn't fit. It had been twisted while being welded up, so it took me a day to make it fit passably. The hood fills up with shavings at the end farthest from the vacuum attachement after just a few planings; this easily cleaned out by inserting a shop-vac attachement, but this takes time. It's better than nothing, but just barely.
