Dewalt Dw735x Review
We try to keep the shop footprints of our tools low, so we use portable saws and benchtop tools that can be put out of the way when they’re not in use. A large, heavy planer would have been great, though expensive, and would have taken up a lot of room for the few planer jobs that we need to do. Hand-planing the planks was also out of the question, so we researched benchtop planers and decided the DeWaltDW734 would meet our requirements.
During this test, we set each planer to its maximum depth of cut – usually 3/32 inch. We ran four species of wood through the planers and recorded the time for the cut and the amperage profile for each cut. Our team set up a FLUKE 3001 FC recording ammeter that measured values on a one second interval and sent the data via wireless link to our computer for later analysis. To do this, we adjusted each planers depth until it contacted the wood but had not reached the depth where the cutter blades hit the wood. This allowed us to visually time the 45″ section as it passed by a reference point on the planer. For each planer, we ran this test three times and used the average of these times for a comparison between the no-load and fully loaded feed rates of each machine.
One Allen wrench is used to remove the top planer cover, dust cover and the blade bolts. Changing the blades literally only takes about 15 minutes and I found it to be really easy. In the image above you can see one of the blades and the bolts that hold it in place.
Tag this product with a keyword to better identify it and relate it to similar products. I’ve heard of the sprockets messing up on the older s. On mine I had a feed problem and used simple green to clean the feed roller and the amount of gunk that came off was shocking. Had the planer powered on, the plan was to immediately shutoff and replace circuit breaker.
After all, peer reviews are a critical part of any scientific process. There may be planers as good in this size category, but you’d be hard-pressed to convince me that there are any that are better. And if my informal sampling of woodworking YouTubers is at all accurate, there are quite a few pros out there who would agree. First remove your shroud then remove the housing clips and screws. Reassemble in reverse order.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Everything about the build quality of this planer ensures that you are going to get the results you are looking for. The sturdiness of this planer is such that you can handle almost anything. The build quality also highlights how easy it is to use this thing. The dust port is located at the rear of the unit above the outfeed opening of the planer. The location of the dust port is one of the very few complaints I have about the DW735.
