For the money I'm Happy
This planer has served me well with the blades that came with it. I created an altar for my church that used several hard exotic woods. I planed a lot of wood. I haven't had to flip the blades over yet. I take light cuts and that seems to really extend the life compared to what other reviews have noted about blade wear.

I'm buying an extra set of blades just because I always like to have wear & tear items handy when you need them.

Love my planer
I've had the 13" Delta planer for 3 years and love it. I just finished a big hard maple project so will be changing blades soon. I've had really good luck with the blades and don't need to change them that often.

SUPER KNIVES!!
This planer still performs flawlessly!! I flipped the original knives, after 2 years of use, and decided to buy another set for back ups. I can't tell you how pleased I am with my planer, and these knives last a long time!!

Seems to work ok for the size/price
I bought this planer to help with a set of kitchen cabinets. I've planed quite a bit of red oak and had generally good results. I haven't seen any scored wood but then again I'm planing nice clean S2S stock. I try to avoid planing construction lumber but sometimes I do, to make a jig or clamping fixture. That wood is soft but kills the blades faster. I think it's a combination of the fact that it isn't very dry and also there's a lot of dirt and crud on typical construction lumber that you don't see on nice hardwood. I've had this planer for about 4 months and I'm still on the first side of the first set of knives. I'm sure you can kill the blades quick if you brutalize the machine but at least in my application - general woodworking using hardwoods mostly - I don't see any problems. After all, it's an inexpensive little planer.... not a huge cast iron monster with a giant cutterhead.

I find the zero depth gizmo to be a pain, but I do use it. I have to fiddle with it a little too much to get it to stay down. But, even so it is definitely nice to know where the blades are. I don't use the depth stop at all, I have a cheap imported digital caliper that I use and generally I can plane to within a couple of thousandths without trying too hard. I find that this is useful when using the Kreg jig for pocket screwing the face frames. If the stock isn't pretty much all the same thickness you don't get a nice flush face frame, so in my view accurate plaing is a must.

Once in a while I do get a snipe even swith the cutterhead locked but it doesn't happen enough to really be a problem. Light cuts, and good support of the board well on the outfeed side seem to do a good job on killing snipe. I also will run it in "finishing" instead of "dimensioning" if I see any snipe.

One thing I REALLY don't like is the dust chute accessory. My 4" hose slip-fit adapter doesn't stay put (I move the hose from machine to machine) and that is a real pain. Also, the thing interferes when planing thinner stock. Pretty good machine, but Delta screwed up on that part - and it's too expensive, to boot. In my view you can't really run a planer without dust collection (the chips end up geting embedded in the board) so I don't see why a chute isn't included wth the machine.
