Dewalt Thickness Planers For Sale
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.
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 dewalt tools 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.
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. Two speed gear box allows users to change feed speed to optimizing cuts per inch at 96 or 179 CPI.
These collection systems also do a good job of removing the dust from the machine before it can settle in the cutterhead, helping to maintain its usable life and cutting speed. Cutting depth refers to how much material a planer can remove in one pass. Generally speaking, the more powerful the planer, the more material it can remove in one pass and the larger the depth of cut. They bolt onto the cutterhead to slice off layers of material in one quick pass.
A few users cited issues with the feed and the unit’s motor. First, the blades come sharpened on both sides, and the 735x package includes an extra set. Second, if your chips are minor, the three blades can shift individually left and right in order to misalign those imperfections. Doing so eliminated the raised line on mine, until the next time the blades chip. Third, you can learn to sharpen planer blades to maximize their useful lives.

I’m in the UK and have been searching everywhere for a DeWalt planer, preferably the dw735. A few sites do have them listed but always out of stock. Looks like you are missing out big time in Europe DeWalt. I’ll have to go with my second choice of the Makita instead although they also seem to be as rare as hen’s teeth.
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.
I have just looked at your planer review and I did not see any tests for cutterhead “paralleladigitty” or dust collection compatibility and performance. I have owned “portable” planers over my 40 years in the trade. Two Ridgid’s, the current model returned when the warrantee repair center couldn’t understand that the cutterhead MUST be parallel. In addition, the earliest versions’ dust evacuation fan did not require any dust collector. I still had my previous version which I have returned to.
Even worse, the numbers on the display are very small and thin making it difficult to read unless I get down directly in front of it. I bought the Planar Digital with great expectations as my other instruments from iGaging have been great. I already had the Wixey Digital Readout but wanted to replace it because I had such a positive experience with iGaging in the past. The edges of the Planar Digital are sharp and I scraped my arm several times.
