Quick question...

Can I put Moulding knives in my Delta 13" two speed planer? If so, any issues or useful information on doing so?

TIA.

Jeff.

Probably not but without a model, there's virtually no chance of getting a correct answer.

Unless it's branded as a planer moulder I wouldn't try to use it as one.

Seconded. There's no way to get the knives in sync.

I haven't done it. Woodmaster, Craftsman, and Foley Belsaw (moulder/planers) all have the option of using moulding knives. In my Woodmaster, a single knife and counterbalancers are used. Guide boards are set up in line on the infeed and outfeed tables. Great results...many miles of moulding.

I would check with the mfg of your planer and see if the right sized knife can be gibed. Don't try this in an ordinary planer without qualified advice.
