Dewalt Dw735 Review
It’s so simple to setup that I honestly figured I’d just gotten lucky, however, I quickly learned the DW735 is just that easy to setup. Even more impressive is how smooth the controls operate. I think the shelix is just a better performance finished product and longer lasting.
Thankfully I stocked up as they’ve gone up a good bit since. However, I had to send the first planer back due to a quality control issue at the factory. The belt pullys were misaligned and ate the belt in about 10 minutes. The second one has been good, but I’m done with Delta as their quality has definitely gone down hill lately.
It gives the wood a nice, smooth finish and the thickness is accurate. It’s heavy enough that it doesn’t jump around or vibrate excessively. You will get snipe with it unless your board is well supported at both the infeed and outfeed of the machine. That being said, even without that good support the snipe will only be on the last inch or so of the board and can sometimes be sanded out.
Overall this is a great planer and worth every penny. The unit is heavy, but with the positions of the handles, it wasn’t too hard to move around. For as much Purple heart we sent through that planer, it seemed like the knives lasted a long time. Some of the cuts we even took off more than recommended for that machine and it did a great job.
Powerful 15 amp, 20,000 rpm motor of the woodworking planer handles larger, deeper cuts in hardwoods. I took a lot of time to search on various social media sites to determine what other users had to say about the DeWalt DW735X thickness planer. The company offers dewalt tools a 90-day money-back guarantee and one year of free service. The thickness planer is also covered by a three-year limited warranty. As mentioned throughout this DeWalt thickness planer review, the DW735X can handle boards that are up to 13-inches wide.
