Anybody know if they are any good?

I've seen it, Dave. It looks like it may be from the same Taiwanese source
that made Delta's old 12" surface planer. If I'm not mistaken, it even has
the same decals on it.
On the up-side: if it is the same machine, you may be able to get parts
(like extra blades) from a Delta service center.
On the down-side: you won't be able to count on CT for parts. Just try
asking one of the CT clerks about parts - about all you'll get is a blank
stare.
I really think you'd be saving yourself some headaches by spending the extra
hundred bucks on the new (and improved Delta 12 1/2" unit.

All Mastercraft tools are made by the same companies who make Delta, Ryobi,
Black and Decker etc. What Canadian Tire does is tells these companies to
make tools for them and tells them what specs they should have. Most of the
manufacturers nowadays
get motors from one company and other parts from other companies and even
share parts between themselves to make up a unique tool with unique
specifications and then put their names on it. Mastercraft tools overall
are not geared to the contractor but to the home hobbyist or occasional user
and should serve them well for many years as long as they are treated well.
They use a lot more plastic and white metal than contractor tools in order
to bring down the costs and make them more appealing to the general public.
These tools also have excellent warranties. Most of the time they are
straight replacement where as Delta is straight repair. There is local
repair depots in most major cities across Canada and the store can tell you
who they are if you ask. Best bet is a hardware manager or supervisor as
they are the ones who normally handle the claims.
Hope this helps

I have lost faith in crappy tire, but if you look at the catalogue it might
be the same one I have, but look at the surface planers, they have the Delta
right beside the Mastercraft planer and for the life of me I can not tell
the difference, funny thing is the Delta was cheaper.

for the really decent pricing CT offers from time to time.
Each piece comes with a manual and service center address and phone
number.
I needed parts for my CT lathe a few months ago and they sent them
prepaid to me at no charge!!!
You are quite right about the clerks knowing sht-all at the store level
though.
I have the same problem at Home Depot except the manual says to go back
to Home depot!--- Grrrr!

your did choosing your highschool girlfriend.
It's war our there boys and girls.
You have to know you product and ask a lot of questions before you make
a purchase.
Brand loyalty, as pointed out in this thread ,is a thing of the past.
Vendors continuously roam the manufacturing sites of the world looking
for better deals, not better products.
Last week CT offered me an 8 inch dado set for my table saw for $69.50.
I am using it today. ---Not too shabby at all.
Everybody else seems to think it is a $140.00 item. - Go figure?

are the jointers and drill presses and mitre saws and even table saws. The
extra tables included with the Mastercraft model ups the regular price over
the Delta. But the Mastercraft always goes on sale at a significant
discount as you have come
across this week. Replacement blades from the Delta will fit.

Hi Greg,
I'm guessing from the inference in your signature that you're connected to
Canadian Tire. Is that so?
If so, I think it's great that someone on the NG could give us an
understanding of CT's inner workings.
Let us know.

price as the mastercraft. Although you just missed the last sale by about
a month....

Just Wondering
I would like to know what is the benefit of having my tires planed.
Can I use my wood planer to do the job, or do I have to buy a
special tire planer? How does planing my tires affect the mileage
I can get from them? Does a planed tire grip the road better?
Does it counter the effects of hydroplaning when my car hits a wet spot?

a "king tools" planer. Nothing to do with tires - just like th link
has NOTHING to do with Canadian Tire, Tires, or planers.

is more specific, Delta Planers are custom built to plane Delta airlines
fleet?
