I have had the Delta 22-540 for a year now and would recommend it. I
have planned Maple, Oak, Cherry and Red Wood. From the posts I have seen
in this group I have yet to see a complaint about any planners with the
exception of a Powematic 15" about a year ago. One of my William Alden
catalogs has the 22-540 priced at $329.79 with a disclaimer of, "limited
to stock on hand". Also same catalog has Jet JWP-12 planer on sale for
$304.99 after Jet rebate.

I called William Alden two weeks ago to get a quote on the Delta
planer, and the sales rep told me that they'd dropped Delta.
Maybe that was a clearing-out sale.

(Actually, she said Delta dropped them.  "We were selling at
lower margins than they liked."  Mind, I'm just passing on what
I was told.  I presume the "no more Delta" part is at least fact.)

I got a different story. They told me that they were having problems
justifiying carrying Jet and Delta which have very similar product
lines. I was told that by buying only one manufacturer's items, the
prices would go down due to increased volume. Since Delta and PC are
owned jointly, I would think PC would drop them too if what you were
told was correct.

I bought the Grizzly 12" a couple of years ago and I'm very happy with it.
Especially since I built the table to go withit found in  Fine woodworking
for the small shop. It made a great improvement on the "snipe" problem
