I would highly recommend this product. I also have a Delta planer( with lost setting fixture for the blades) that desperately needed to have the blades changed. I got this product, and very quickly and reliably was able to reinstall a set of blades. The only misgiving I have about it is that one of the magnets came out of the fixture on first use, but I pressed it back into place and continued to do the blade installation. It is very carefully designed to allow you to place new blades in the cutterhead ACCURATELY.
This product is easy to use and does a fine job of setting the blades on my planer.
The Delta instruction manual was a little skimpy on detail, but those pictures gave me the confidence I needed. I found a web site by John Lucas that showed him using the mini-planer pals to change the blades on a very similar planer to mine. If they charged twice as much, it would still be worth every penny. Without the planer pal, that planer might still be in pieces. I have a Delta planer and have been dreading changing the blades, but after a couple of nicks, there was no more putting it off. Between the pix and the planer pal, I had my blades changed in about 20 minutes, start-to-finish. If you have a planer, you really need this product. I was able to get the blades perfectly aligned the first time.
I purchased this product because I was not pleased using the device provided with my Delta planer. I expect I will also be able to use this on my 6" jointer when I replace those blades. This device makes it so much easier to align the blades and only takes a couple of minutes to properly align the blades.
