Dewalt Dw733, Dw734, And Dw735 Planers
A bench planer is a highly useful tool for attaining this level of craftsmanship. Sign up to receive the latest info on new DEWALT products, special offers and more. It is okay to plane most types of painted wood but the blades may dull faster. For safety and environmental reasons, planing painted wood with lead based or cementitious paint is NOT RECOMMENDED. Jay, first off let me say how much I enjoy your videos! Like you and others have mentioned, out of the box I too had problems with snipe and later with the feed as well.
If you are thinking of planing all types of rough stock wood, besides having a very durable blade system, you are going to need a powerful motor as well. The dewalt accessories dw735 uses a powerful 15 amp motor that can make deep cuts into all types of hardwood sheets. Combined with its unique three knife cutter head and two speed gearbox, I felt that I had all the power needed to make any cut necessary for any of my projects.
For this head-to-head test we focused on planing several different wood species, the surface finish, the power, and pricing. Below is a detailed discussion of our testing and evaluation. Most planer blades are made with oval-shaped bolt holes for just this purpose. They allow blades to be moved sideways a bit before retightening the bolts, eliminating the alignment of nicks in the blade that caused the raised ridges in the first place.
Just get a separate dust collector for this, and you’re good to go. You even get carbide blades that don’t dull to quickly, and they’re reversible too so that when one side gets dull, you can just reverse the blade and continue working. You won’t have to re-zero the adjustment knob for the depth and height either. It’s so easy to use, including a trigger for 2 fingers. This is a motorized planer that’s powered by a battery. This means you don’t need to deal with electrical cords, plus the 6.7-pound weight won’t cause fatigue anytime soon.
They are all very famous among DIYers because of the 10,000RPM blade speed that leaves a near-perfect finish. With their three blades, these planers make 96 to 179 cuts per inch, way faster and more efficient than standard market planers. I picked this planer up from my local Lowes, well not really local, it was the closest Lowes. They offer other planers, but at the time this seemed like the best one for my use. Speed two is supposed to be for taking more material off quicker, but with not as nice of a finish.
Make sure, as in the micro switch controlled by the top shroud, that each is in it’s normally assembled position. @BryanFaz, a few of us are electrically educated types. If you can post a picture that shows the front of your meter, we might provide instructions on how to set it and use it. I am assuming you were working with the machine unplugged, with the meter set to the “Ohms” or resistance measuring function. Wow it has been a long time since we did a planer review.
Yes, the DW735 has more features, and can handle slightly wider boards, but the two dewalt Hand toolss are capable of performing the same function. Another difference between them is that the DW735 has a fan assisted dust ejection system to pump or eject the sawdust out of the planer as you plane with it. The slower speed is for when you’re removing a lot of material at once, while the faster speed is for applying a fine finish to the wood to get a fine finish. First, it’s got a higher width capacity of 13 inches, which means you get to plane wider boards with it.
