13″ Dewalt Planer With Stand And Helical Cutterhead Kit At Grizzly Com
You two can go far with an old Stanley #4 smooth plane. (My “new” one was purchased by my grandfather in the 1930s. My older one was made in 1909.) Ernie Conover and Chris Swartz are my two favorite dewalt Hand tools plane gurus. But, I’m away from home for at least a few more days, so I can’t do much just now. You mention having an old Delta planer, but also mention having talked to the Woodcraft person.
Just get a separate dust collector for this, and you’re good to go. You even get carbide blades that don’t dull to quickly, and they’re reversible too so that when one side gets dull, you can just reverse the blade and continue working. You won’t have to re-zero the adjustment knob for the depth and height either. It’s so easy to use, including a trigger for 2 fingers. This is a motorized planer that’s powered by a battery. This means you don’t need to deal with electrical cords, plus the 6.7-pound weight won’t cause fatigue anytime soon.
The planer comes with a tool to change the knives; it neatly stows on the motor housing so it won’t quickly get lost. It provides a maximum capacity of 13-inches in width and 6-inches in depth. The three-blades on the cutting head can provide either 96 CPI or 17p CPI, depending upon the speed you set it at. This product uses a 15 amp motor to provide power and it includes extra blades as well as an infeed and outfeed table. POWERTEC’s benchtop thickness planer is worth a look if you want mid-range capability from a planer.

I have a room problem and purchsed a Hammer combo jointer/planer. I’ve been too lazy to put the DeWalt 734 up for sale. If there dewalt Hand tools is someone around Metro NYC interested send me a note. I may replace my old Delta with this planer in the near future.
