Dewalt 15 Amps 13 In Corded Thickness Planer
The extra set of planer knifes that comes with the DW735X are also extra helpful as you can quickly swap out the old knives when they get dull and replace them with the new knifes. While the DW735 is just the planer machine without the infeed and outfeed tables and the extra planer knifes. The only difference between the DW735X and the DW735 is that the DW735X comes with infield and outfeed tables for the planer, and an extra set of planer knives for the cutterhead. One thing that DeWalt has done with the DW735 is add a built in blower for clearing wood shavings from the blades. It has a surprising amount air flow, and if used without some type of dust collector, it will shoot wood shavings everywhere. It does a wonderful job at keeping dust and shavings from building up on the blades, thus lengthening their life.
The $499.88 price is a hair over Black Friday 2019 pricing of $499.00, which was the lowest price I have ever seen on this planer combo. A good price on this planer is usually $525 to $575, and that’s typically after a $25 off $100+ promo or similar. $500 is a great price, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it priced lower than $499.00.
My DIYUniversity Course on woodworking for beginners is the best place online to learn a new skill and develop good working habits that will save you time and energy down the line. Learn what you need to know to setup your own off-grid energy source with these tried and tested plans. Welding isn’t just for the pros, you can learn along with Steve Maxwell everything you need for home workshop welding. All planers use many small bolts to secure blades, and losing just one means you won’t be able to use your planer until you get a replacement from the manufacturer. Avoid unnecessary hassles and frustrations by using a rare earth magnet to hold all knife bolts together in one clump after you take them out. This is the first and most important maintenance issue.
I was introduced to woodworking by my grandfather at 11 years old. I spend a good chunk of my free time working on woodworking projects and writing for this blog. Apart from that, I also enjoy weightlifting dewalt tools and chess. You can fit 13-inch wide boards into this planer, but it will only take 3/32-inch off with each pass. That should not be a problem with many boards, including pre-dimensioned pieces.
Just above the feed opening is a gauge that shows how much wood is being removed. After starting with more than 200 power tools and hundreds more accessories, they also offered hand tools for contractors by 2011. The DW735 is more obviously geared towards the more serious wood workers. This is why they don’t include the infeed and outfeed tables in the package.
The planer can make a maximum cut depth of 1/8 inch and a depth capacity of 6 inches. The total capacity of 13 inches was ample enough for me and should suffice for most professionals too. The DEWALT DW735 two speed thickness planer is one of the best thickness planers in use today. It is extremely powerful and is capable of handling any type of wood that you can feed it whether it is walnut, oak, or any type of exotic wood. Its portable size makes it easy to transport, and it has a two speed gear box which will enable you to adjust the feed speed for better cuts per inch. All in all, the Dewalt DW735 looks and feels like a dependable and efficient planer.
I would definitely recommend this planer to anyone serious about their wood. Portable thickness planers have to squeeze a lot of power into a small footprint that can be reasonably moved around a shop or to a job site. But even within this limitation there are some substantial differences in size and weight of the machines we’ve tested. But every machine is capable of planing boards 12 to 13 inches wide and 6 inches tall. The specifics and the differences are show in the lists below. The big chip on this planer blade was caused by a hidden nail embedded in a board.
