In Response To: Tools: Planer Advice (Gordon Snapp)

: Does anyone have any experience with a Delta TP300 Shopmaster 12"
: Portable Planer?

I owned a delta 12" planer for years and was satisfied with it, I really used the hell out of it to, till one day a friend wanted to polish some brass in my shop and spilled some muriatic acid on it..but I liked it till then anyway. I would buy another one.

I saw the TP300 ($198.00) the other day and thought it was a good deal, it has virtually the same mechanical description as the next higher priced one, (with table) the one I had didn't have a table and I liked that, it has 2 handles on the top and its easy to move around and stow away. mine had a locking mechanism on the side that the pt300 doesn't have, but I read it has a "patented locking mechanism"..I found that out after searching the net for it and reading about it...anyway, a thickness planer is a GREAT tool to have around.
