I bought one of these last year and it looked new except for the melted recon stamp on the side.

Well...I got a Factory Blemished 2 years ago for the same price.

edit: Actually it was cheaper. I purchased from DTO on 9/3/2020 for $255.99

Thanks! I suspected it wasn't a special deal.

I revised my response. I actually got it for $255.99. It goes on sale every now and then but not always available as ship to home.

Decent price considering the times and that DTO usually only has these as Store Pickup

How does this compare to the Dewalt that is often on here for $400-$500?

Delta planer? I think you might mean Dewalt?

If so, the Dewalt is farrr better. I'm anti-dewalt, but they still have the best entry level planer on the market... until they decide to cheapen that too lol... ๐Ÿ˜”

I've seen people who PREFER other brands like Milwaukee but never someone straight up ANTI dewalt.

Any reason in particular? I'm happy with them and they seem like a very strong DIY brand. I see contractors use them as wellโ€ฆ

I watch a lot of YouTube, and the honest carpenter and HomeRenovison use a lot of dewalt. Granted they have affiliate links so they are more inclined to recommend budget friendly tools, but still.

Honest carpenter does actually seem very, well, honest so I do trust his opinion. HomeRenovison explicitly says he likes dewalt because he can abuse it (throw it down, overwork it, use the bottom of a driver as a hammer (we've all done it), etc) and it still lasts him a few years. At that point he'll drop another $100 and buy a new one . For home use I think Dewalt is great.

I'm not a dewalt fanboy, but if you couldn't tell, I do use their line of tools and have been very happy.

Even if you think that this is still too high of a price it is useful to keep it in your saved cart. Whenever they have a sale their website slows to 14.4k dial up speeds. And yes as others have mentioned this is not often available at lower prices on the ship to home option. this beast weights like 75lbs so I am sure it costs them a lot more than $9.99 to ship it.

Great deal. I've never had a problem with their reconditioned tools. You should think about editing the original post to include the flat shipping rate.

Are they clearing these out because they're no longer made? Saw something recently that their new NEXT-line planer would replace this. You know...the non-TTI tools made by Delta with no LSA ๐Ÿ˜ก

It has been a while since I researched this but this rigid planer is similar to the DeWalt DW734 (mostly b/c this Ridgid and the Dw734 are a 2 post design). However the DeWalt DW735 is a superior machine (mostly b/c the DW735 is a 4 post machine).

Now with that, people had mentioned if you build or set up a good, flat, level, in feed and out feed table and don't take off too much wood at a time, then you can eliminate the snipe. The 2 post designs do an excellent job with the proper set up. The 4 post design it just more secure, and prevents snipe with out as much setup for and in feed and out feed tables, and can shave off more wood at a time. Plus I don't recall seeing the DW735 this cheap.

I had this planer for about a year, ain't bad, but definitely has it's quirks. I replaced it when the Dewalt 735x came up for 450 bucks on this site, and while the Rigid was pretty good for the price, that dewalt is just a fantastic machine. Pieces come out of it 180 grit or better.
