13″ Dewalt Planer With Stand And Helical Cutterhead Kit At Grizzly Com
This will enable you to save a lot of money on knife blades in the long run. It’s also very easy to change the knife blades due to a set of pins that have been machined on the cutter head along with matching holes that have been machined through the knife. Before I even ran a piece of wood through this planer I was impressed. Out of the box the unit is very heavy and clearly a heavy duty machine. The DW735 is so easy to setup that even a complete novice to thickness planing can set it up in a mater of minutes. It comes with the blades already installed and all the pre-set stops factory adjusted.
This is simply a larger package of the 735 planer including the earlier discussed 735 planer plus replacement blades, infeed, and outfeed tables. It is a cost-saving package delivering the same quality service including the 15AMP motor with a 20,000RPM and a no-load blade speed of 10,000rpm. It also has three reversible and disposable blades and dual speeds that allow you to set 96CPI or 176CPI for a smoother finish. I must have a newer setup than you do, I also purchased the in-feed out feed tables. Now for me this is just a planer that is holding me over for the Powermatic 209HH which is quite expensive.
The base is a 19-3/4″ cast aluminum base which is very rigid and provides a solid surface. As you can see above the times required to change the blades on the planers varied from just over 11 minutes to just over 25 minutes. The reality is a user might change blades once or twice a year so the difference from 11 to 25 doesn’t seem enough to warrant why you might buy one over another model.
It has an automatic locking carriage and two operating speeds. With the Rockler Protection Plan you’ll get accidental damage coverage immediately upon purchase of your tool.

Remember you have to buy the DW735X to get the infeed and outfeed tables and extra set of planer knifes. If you get the DW735, you get the planer without infeed and outfeed tables and no extra set of planer knifes, unless you buy them separately. It comes with infeed and outfieed tables to support your lumber and prevent snipe.
Prior to testing day, we unboxed the bench-top thickness planers and set up the equipment with dust collection manifolds and put on accessories. In particular, we adjusted dewalt accessories the in-feed and out-feed tables to ensure each were level with the planer bed. Benchtop thickness planers are an essential piece of equipment for any woodshop.
Powerful 15 Amp motor drives the cutterhead at 10,000 RPM handling deep cuts, up to 1/8″, with ease in wide material. This is because disposable blades are always the same height. When sharpening blades, material is removed and the blade becomes dewalt tools shorter and may even become slightly skewed. That is why you always need to recalibrate their position in the planer. DeWalt uses reversible blades which are disposable after use so sharpening is not really an option on these packages.
In addition, shelix cutterheads are also much quieter than normal blades. This is a big bonus especially on these DeWalt planers, because they are quite noisy. Any reduction in sound makes them much more comfortable to use. Shelix cutterheads consist of many small blade inserts.
