Dewalt Dw735x Planer
DEWALT makes lots of great tools and I seldom find issues with any of them. In this situation they have an AMAZING tool with the DW735 Thickness Planer. In fact, I would say it’s one of the best overall performing tools that I’ve ever reviewed. I also have the DW7350 – Mobile Thickness Planer Stand. The stand is also built from high quality materials and rivals any of the mobile stands I own. In fact, if you’re going to put this on a stand I recommend you buy the DEWALT version compared to an after-market version.
My older Delta is a pain when it comes to changing knives also. I would like to have a 735 but they are pretty expensive compared to the 734. It doesn’t have enough dewalt Hand tools preset settings for thickness. I would have liked a 5/8” setting and possibly a 7/8” setting. You have become my Consumer Report for woodworking tools.
If you are thinking of planing all types of rough stock wood, besides having a very durable blade system, you are going to need a powerful motor as well. The DeWalt planer dw735 uses a powerful 15 amp motor that can make deep cuts into all types of hardwood sheets. Combined with its unique three knife cutter head and two speed gearbox, I felt that I had all the power needed to make any cut necessary for any of my projects.

It is okay to plane most types of painted wood but the blades may dull faster. For safety and environmental reasons, planing painted wood with lead based or cementitious paint is NOT RECOMMENDED. Jay, first off let me say how much I enjoy your videos! Like you and others have mentioned, out of the box I too had problems with snipe and later with the feed as well.
Then it’s rinse and repeat until you’re happy with the result. The DeWalt Planer features a powerful 10,000 rpm motor that will handle anything you feed it—walnut or exotics—with absolute ease. The automatic carriage lock will help to prevent snipe by reducing the headstock movement that can cause it. Mess is minimized with the fan-assisted chip ejection and we appreciate DeWalt’s redesigned, easy to read thickness scale.
Yes, the DW735 has more features, and can handle slightly wider boards, but the two Dewalt planers are capable of performing the same function. Another difference between them is that the DW735 has a fan assisted dust ejection system to pump or eject the sawdust out of the planer as you plane with it. The slower speed is for when you’re removing a lot of material at once, while the faster speed is for applying a fine finish to the wood to get a fine finish. First, it’s got a higher width capacity of 13 inches, which means you get to plane wider boards with it.
These collection systems also do a good job of removing the dust from the machine before it can settle in the cutterhead, helping to maintain its usable life and cutting speed. Cutting depth refers to how much material a planer can remove in one pass. Generally speaking, the more powerful the planer, the more material it can remove in one pass and the larger the depth of cut. They bolt onto the cutterhead to slice off layers of material in one quick pass.

Even worse, the numbers on the display are very small and thin making it difficult to read unless I get down directly in front of it. I bought the Planar Digital with great expectations as my other instruments from iGaging have been great. I already had the Wixey Digital Readout but wanted to replace it because I had such a positive experience with iGaging in the past. The edges of the Planar Digital are sharp and I scraped my arm several times.
After all, peer reviews are a critical part of any scientific process. There may be planers as good in this size category, but you’d be hard-pressed to convince me that there are any that are better. And if my informal sampling of woodworking YouTubers is at all accurate, there are quite a few pros out there who would agree. First remove your shroud then remove the housing clips and screws. Reassemble in reverse order.Hope this helps.Good luck.
