Dewalt 13 Inch Planer
We don’t want to purchase junk, but don’t have a flowing bank account either. You will want to follow good standard practice of finishing your boards with a few light smoothing cuts with a very sharp, delicately set smooth plane. The motor on this planer can give you 34,000 cuts per minute. It comes with steel blades, but when these get dull, you’re better off getting reversible carbide blades as replacements.
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.
It is the favorite planer for most professionals because of its minimal snipe aided by the powerful manual lockdown mechanism. This planer uses disposable blades 12.5 inches in size and also allows a greater depth up to six inches which allows it to handle a wider variety of lumbar size. Occasionally we’ll have the need to plane several boards to the same thickness. In most cases, the rough cut lumber we receive from the lumber yard varies in size.
Massive snipe 3″ on each side. I tried everything but it is always there. I have the extension tables and still get snipe. Christmastime is one of those perfect times dewalt Hand tools of the year to make someone a special handmade gift. So I took to the shop after Thanksgiving, stepping away from my lathe and decided to do something different.

A common complaint about the two lunchbox planers is that the dust collection shoot tends to clog up. The DW733 and DW734 only have one ‘normal’ feed rate. One ‘normal’ speed, for getting your work done at a reasonable speed, and one ‘slow’ speed, for finishing passes.
