Dewalt Dw735 Review
This planer has a wider dust outlet up to 4 inches in width with a stronger fan aided ejection leaving the infeed and outfeed very clean. It prevents clogging and also reduces chances of snipe caused by debris at the base. This planer has an automatic lockdown mechanism that makes it easier to operate.

It is very well thought out and informative and provides me a good basis to compare between planers. I noticed that for the Triton planer, your picture differs from the stock photo (on/off switch, for example). I have searched and do not see any images online that represent the one you worked with.
Planers with built-in gauges will allow you to quickly determine the height of the cutterhead from the planer’s deck. This measure expresses how thick a piece of wood will be once it passes through the planer. It won’t go any lower than your depth stop will allow. Funny I was just looking at this model yesterday and almost pulled the trigger. A little big more initially but it has great reviews and the cutter head will be great. While power is extremely important, it can also be extremely hindered by poor accuracy.
For BARBASHELA’s planks we wanted to remove just over a 1/16″ from the rough-sawn boards to reach the target thickness and that required several passes per plank. We set up to remove 1/64″ per pass to reduce the load on the feed rollers and found that the 15-amp, 20,000-rpm motor was up to the task. The 734 has powerful feed rollers and provides 33-1/2″ of support from the infeed and outfeed tables, so it can handle 6′ to 8′ boards. For the 16’ and longer planks we helped push and pull the stock through. An alternative to using power wood planers is using hand planes. The skill required to properly dimension wood with a hand plane takes time to master.
I’m also noticing the blades are getting huge gouges in them. This article is a troubleshooting guide for problems and malfunctions common to most electric power tools. Own an Ace Store Your ultimate power tool for business success.
The only time it gave me any trouble was when i was planing 10” wide black locust slabs but that’s a tall order for anything that isn’t industrial. Another consideration when evaluating bench-top thickness planer performance is the surface finish. Bench-top thickness planers use a set of rotating blades to “shave” off the surface of the board being planed. The TBB Crew selected the maple wood for the snipe test. We thought the lighter color and tight grain structure of maple might show the location and the depth of any snipes better than the other woods. For this test, we set all of the planers to a uniform depth of 3/32”.
This comes with the infeed and outfeed tables that make it much easier to use. There’s a carriage lock you can set manually that prevents the movements leading dewalt accessories to snipe. DeWalt 734 is the most common of the three featuring three blades with 10,000RPM rotation which allows the planer to make up to 96 cuts per inch.
