Dewalt Dw735 13 In Two
Have you tried to power it up after putting it completely back together. The little black thing at the top is a micro switch and is enabled by the top shroud. Once assembled, there is a tab on the top shroud that depresses the switch. @Coophas a valid point, circuit breakers don’t work forever. Just on the off chance, is your dedicated receptacle a GFCI?
The prior owner did not have a dust collector and he obviously had run some wood through it planing across the grain. This procedure throws out long fibers of wood rather than chips. The discharge chute was quite clogged when I first used it.
I’m also a licensed civil and structural engineer with extensive experience in civil and structural design and home construction. My hope is that I can share my experience in the home construction, home improvement and home renovation profession with other builders and home owners.

What we do takes so much time as it is, no one pays us to do this, we do it with volunteers and samples. Wish we could offer more, but it’s just not feasible. Did you test whether the planers, especially the 735x can actually handle the full widths they claim? Can you dewalt tools actually put 13″ work through the 735x without it bogging down or, put another way, how thick can the cut be at 13″ without bogging down too much? That would be an excellent test, especially since I think you were starting to see the effect of width with the poplar.
It has a set of lockable casters, allowing you to lock it into place when feeding heavy materials through and then roll this heavy tool out of the way when done. As a reasonably priced planer that can handle up to 12-inch boards, the CRAFTSMAN is well worth a look. It has a 15-amp motor that produces cutterhead speeds up to 8,000 RPMs.
