Dewalt Dw735 Planer
A jack or smoothing plane with a blade ground to maximum camber can serve as a roughing plane. The camber reduces the cutting area, reducing the workload on the planer . An old Junior Jack plane (#5 1/4) or a smaller smooth plane (#3) should work well at minimum cost. If budget is not a constraint, there is always the deluxe option of a Lie-Nielsen or Veritas roughing plane. Apparently, whatever is left of Delta no longer makes replacement blades for its throw away blade planers.
There are two gauges on the DW735 and they are both easy to read and use. The removal gauge shown above shows how much thickness will be removed but it also offers a handy chart suggesting the maximum to remove per pass based on the width of the board. The thickness gauge shown on the right shows the total final thickness that the board will be after passing through the planer. It didn’t take me long to zero in on one particular planer and that was the DEWALT DW735.
After playing around with the planer shortly after assembling this setup I completely eliminated snipe. Then gradually snipe returned on the infeed side of the cuts. dewalt tools It wasn’t until I took pictures for this article that I realized why. To reduce snipe everyone recommends ramping up the infeed and outfeed sides of this planer.

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.
We might take and old set and give it a go for the heck of it like Rick is going to do. The 734 has held up well in our very humid Florida swamp environment and we have had fun using it to surface and dimension lumber for lots of different projects. We spent more for this tool than any other tool we own, and it paid for itself with its first planking job. The planer comes with a dust hood that works well with a properly sized shop-vacuum hose attached.
Everything stays locked in place so the cuts are the depth that they’re supposed to be. A common complaint about some other planers on the market is shoddy or plastic components, which means the cutting depth isn’t accurate or consistent. I’ve put everything from soft pine to oak to walnut to mahogany through the planer, and it hasn’t even slowed down. Nor dewalt accessories have I seen any meaningful chip-out or tearing of the wood as a consequence of that power—pieces still come out smooth and uniform. However we do ship worldwide so you can order them from us.

The flexible hose goes to a 4” sewer and drain 45 degree PVC fitting. From there a short section of 4” pipe is used with the bell end on one side. A regular pillow case is then secured to the pipe with a bungee cord. Even with the bag full the planer dewalt accessories has no problem shoving more chips into the bag and slightly compressing what is in there. All the junctions in the flexible hose and PVC are all slip connections. I don’t use mine that often and after two years im on my third set of blades.
