Good Afternoon All,
I have an old Delta 12" planer, model 22-540 which I normally run outside. However, I'd like to run the planer in my garage shop and have been looking at dust hoods to hook it up to my dust collector. Delta makes a plastic hood, PN 50-359 that has the port in the center. This looks like it would place the hose in the way and require that it be supported in some way. However, I've found a hood at Western Tool Supply that looks to be made of metal and has the port on the end which would place the hose out of the way to the side. The one from Western Tool looks better to me, but it is about 2x as much including shipping.
Does anyone have any experience with either the Delta hood or the one from Western Tool regarding the port location and construction?
Thanks.
