A thickness scale and a separate material removal gauge make it easy to set the 734 for the right depth of cut. When I slide a workpiece to the cutter-head carriage, I use the material removal gauge to set the carriage height for the desired cut. There is also an adjustment wheel marked in 1/64″ increments to move the carriage. The carriage itself has a lock bar that positively locks to the four columns and controls snipe, a deeper cut at the beginning and end of a board, a common planer problem. There is also a turret depth stop to set frequently used thicknesses for uniformity among projects.

Snipe is a common problem in planers that occurs when wood passes through the planer and is only in contact with one of the two rollers on the way in or out. The nose or tail of the board lifts slightly, and the planer makes a deeper cut over the first or last few inches. Coming in at a whopping 92 pounds, this benchtop planer is the kind of tool that you put on a bench or stand and leave there. Coming in at a whopping 92 pounds, the DeWALT benchtop planer is the kind of tool that you put on a bench or stand and leave there. I have to blow directly into my shop vac, because the airflow from the planer blower pushes the top off of my dust separator. It’s a small price to pay for barely needing to clean up afterwards.
Bought this when Woodcraft ran the sale with a router thrown in. Recently unboxed them both and used them to build storage units with my daughter. 735X and 735 models have multiple speeds allowing you to set 96 cuts per inch for dimension cuts and 176 cuts per minute for finishing. The final finish is smoother even when handling extremely rough pieces of lumbar with a single run. 734 has a single-speed gearbox limited to 96 cuts per inch. A fourth difference between them is that the DW734 comes with infeed and outfeed tables.
If you still have questions about your benchtop planer, refer to your user’s manual or contact the manufacturer. Snipe refers to a line, sometimes very noticeable, left on the front or back of a workpiece where the planer has removed more material than throughout the field of the board. It’s an unsightly element that many benchtop planers leave on workpieces that pass through them.
The blade is sitting in place, ready to be bolted down. This model uses three separate blades.Planer blades wear in two ways. They either get dull , or they get nicked, leaving long lines of raised wood that correspond to the chips along blade edges. Regardless of how your planer is misbehaving you need to understand how things work inside before you can restore like-new performance.
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 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.
Noise level not a meaningful factor to spend hundreds extra. At this low price, and given the uncertainty of how long it’ll remain stable, it might be best to decide quickly whether to order one immediately, or wait for the next promo. The price might skyrocket if the planer sells out, or Amazon might honor the price on a certain number of backorders. Or it might remain at this price and in-stock inventory levels for a week or longer. My gut feeling says that the deal won’t last long, but that’s also not a high-confidence guess.
I borrowed one from a friend and decided it was time to purchase my own. The unit is heavy and the mobile base makes it easy to move around. I would strongly suggest purchasing the mobile base with this machine. Great machine, no snipe, smooth finish with little to no sanding.
