Still We can say that DW735X should be your choice if you are looking for thickness planers and DW680k, if you interested in hand planers. You can get up to 32,000 cuts per minute, with a maximum cut depth of 5/64 of an inch.
I haven’t had to try and have the knives resharpened. The sharpening services I have used don’t get blades as sharp as I would with sandpaper and glass. I’ve run 12 inches of stuff like purpleheart dewalt tools through it and it does bog down and cause some tearout. But like emart said, that’s to be expected in a lunchbox planer. I have the same planer and still have the original box.
Changing blades is a necessary task for any thickness planer so we wanted to see how they compared. Before you go ahead and change blades that aren’t performing perfectly, take a look at something. You could save yourself time and money with this trick .
Planers can be some of the heaviest tools in your shop. Benchtop planers weigh between 60 and 100 pounds on average, so it may be wise to keep it on your benchtop rather dewalt accessories than moving it around. Cutterhead speed refers to how quickly the motor spins the cutterhead. Many planers use pulleys and belts from the motor to spin the cutterhead.
With the benchtop planer turned off, lower the cutterhead onto the board to get a starting point. Remove the board, turn on the machine, and run the board through the planer. Continue to lower the cutterhead for each pass until you’ve shaved the board down to the desired height. This planer has a 15-amp motor that produces 8,500 RPMs. It has a two-knife cutterhead and a depth of cut of up to 1/8-inch.
In this case, you are reading through the motor winding as well, so the low number won’t be as close to zero, but this does let you quickly check all the parts at once. If the test result is bad, then start checking one at a time. On the 735 you have to get infeed and outfeed extension tables as an accessory. On my 734 the tables were also properly leveled from the factory. This planer has three knives, of the disposable variety.
