The Delta DC-380 is a heavy-duty 15-inch stationary thickness planer built for serious woodworking. Powered by a 2 HP industrial motor with 7 HP peak output and triple belt drive, this planer delivers consistent power through demanding cuts in hardwoods and wide stock.
The DC-380 planes boards up to 15 inches wide and 6-1/2 inches thick, with a maximum depth of cut of 1/8 inch per pass. Two selectable feed speeds — 16 feet per minute for fine finishing passes and 30 feet per minute for rapid stock removal — give the operator control over surface quality and throughput. The height adjustment handwheel on the right side raises and lowers the table with precision for dialing in exact thickness.
The cutterhead carries three straight high-speed steel (HSS) knives that produce a smooth, uniform surface. Anti-kickback fingers are mounted at the infeed to prevent boards from being thrown back during operation. A dust collection port on the top or rear of the machine connects to the shop dust collection system.
The planer is mounted on a Shop Fox mobile base with locking casters, allowing it to be positioned as needed in the shop and locked in place during use.
