How to Replace Blades on a Delta TP-305 Planer
The Delta TP-305 is a portable planer that is designed to handle wood up to 12-1/2-inches wide and 6-inches thick. It levels the wood by cutting it down using a blade that strikes the surface repeatedly. Should this blade become dull, the planer won't work properly and you won't get good planing results. To fix the issue, you need to replace the blade which takes about five minutes to do, and only requires the tools that come with the TP-305. Does this Spark an idea?

Unfasten the six screws holding the blade to the planer using the TP-305 wrench, which should be held in a pocket just to the right of the hand crank. Put the knife transfer tool onto the edge of the blade, and use it to pull the blade out of the housing.

Set a replacement blade on the cutter head of the knife transfer tool. Make sure the bevel on the blade is pointing up underneath the locking bar that runs the width of the cutter head, and the pins on the sides of the cutter head are aligned with the holes in the blade. Tighten the screws using the TP-305 wrench.
