It is recommended that you have a friend help you lift this machine onto the bench top, but I have been able to lift it many times by myself if no one else is around. On the right side of the planer is a small dial that is used to set three common thicknesses. dewalt Hand tools Setting it to 0, 1/4”, 1/2”, or 3/4” ensures that your part will be no thinner than the indicated value. This is very handy to prevent the cutting head from going any lower on the off chance you accidentally run the same stock more than once.
We’ve spent a small fortune on tools, but a long ways from having them all. We don’t want to purchase junk, but don’t have a flowing bank account either. The planer has a broad paddle switch for quickly cutting the power. Just above the feed opening is a gauge that shows how much wood is being removed. 735X and 735 models have multiple speeds allowing you to set 96 cuts per inch for dimension cuts and 176 cuts per minute for finishing. The final finish is smoother even when handling extremely rough pieces of lumbar with a single run.
A small hear on them for a few minutes resolved the problem. Mike – Brands change minor items all the time, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are slight variations. Before building my flip top cart, I thought about purchasing a fold-up Ridgid miter saw cart. It has dewalt tools 12″ wheels and can be easily set up and taken down by one person. Todd, I am OK with your releasing my email address to Jim if he would like to ask any questions. Did you test whether the planers, especially the 735x can actually handle the full widths they claim?

I bought my joiner its a 8″ PJ-882HH which is a phenomenal piece of equipment. When a proper planer is $3000 you shouldn’t cry about a $500 cheap planer. It will be a long time before you purchase enough blades to make up the difference. I would say you gave it dewalt accessories a fair review in your eyes, and that is a good thing. I don’t believe I want a piece of equipment made by woodworkers, just the same as I don’t want to work with metal. That’s akin to doing auto work yourself when you know you need to take it to a mechanic.
