It offers not just serious features for serious wood workers, but it’s so easy to use that beginners can use this to get the professional results they’re looking for. Woodworkers who want to take their DIY hobby seriously will certainly need professional, commercial-grade tools to work on wood. The problem is that truly commercial woodworking tools are large and expensive, and only the big contractors can afford them. On the other hand, affordable tools are typically just unable to handle heavy-duty work. The CMEW320 is a solid two-blade planer that provides adequate stock removal and is targeted for those new to power tools.
This finishing speed is nearly twice as slow, and gives much nicer planing results. It also helps with dealing with difficult, reversing grains and figured woods.

You can also pick your preferred angle for the blades, and even add a micro bevel, which may improve the cut quality.
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 dewalt tools $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.
The DeWalt 735 can also accept a helical cutter head instead of the standard 3-blade setup. While one of those cutter heads is half or more the cost of the entire planer, they are supposed to last for years, paying dewalt accessories back their high cost over time. My recommendation is to buy or build a dedicated stand on workbench casters so you can move it around if you need to get it out of the way or change your angle of attack.

With the benchtop planer turned off, lower the cutterhead onto the board to get a starting point. Remove the board, turn on the machine, and run the board through the planer.

This planer has a 15-amp motor that produces 8,500 RPMs. It has a two-knife cutterhead and a depth of cut of up to 1/8-inch.
