Editorial Review:
13", Heavy Duty, Portable 2 Speed Thickness Planer.
Sometimes, half an inch makes all the difference. But that's not the only reason to step up to the 735. Its powerful 10,000 rpm motor will handle anything you feed it--oak, walnut, exotics--with absolute ease. The three-knife cutterhead will make 96 or 179 cuts per inch, depending on which speed setting you choose. Mess is minimized with the fan-assisted chip ejection, which literally vacuums chips off the cutter-head and blows them out the exhaust. The 735's automatic carriage lock will save you from snipe by reducing the movement that causes it--what a great idea. We also love the redesigned thickness scale--it's big and super-visible, even in poor lighting. Those who do repetitive cuts will appreciate the turret depth-stop; set your most-used cuts to it once and you're always assured of accuracy. The home woodworker will be thrilled, and the professional's expectations will be more than met. This is a winner.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

More time cleaning than working OK so apart from the knives becoming dull within 1 hour of starting this machine up, I feel it is necessary to comment on the poor dust evacuation. I use this planer with a high powered dust collector connected at all times. For some reason I am constantly having to remove the case and manually clean out the cogs and chain as they have become so clogged that turning the depth adjuster is impossible. I don't know if I am the only person who seems to have this problem.
I would not recommend this planer... more info
It's Plane Great After my Delta 12" Thickness Planer casting Cracked, I was in need of a medium duty Planer and I've had lots of good experience with Dewalt stuff..( May the Delta quality curse not affict this new aquisiton of their's as others have succommened in the past)I have run thick and thin stock through it and it seems to be holding up well. I have one just like it at my other job and it's done well also.The knives are also very easy to change, a characteristic I have come to demand lately on my Thicknerss Planers... more info
Still waiting to change blades I bought this planer and a spare set of blades 2 years ago, I haven't even reversed the original blades yet!! I have put over 200 sq feet. of Paduk and 75 of Brazil cherry through this machine along with some Oak and Popular. You can guess how many times you have to run rough lumber through so as too keep it as thick as possable. Sure you can hog it down a 1/16 of a inch at a time if its popular ,but dont try that with a 12" wide board of Brazil cherry. To sum it up , I couldn't be happyer with this... more info
not for subcontractor I purchased this planer after having a Ridgid 12" portable planer for approx. 6 years. Out of the box, the Dewalt worked great and was giving great smooth finishes on any oak or maple I ran thru it. Had to purchase the infeed and outfeed table because of snipe and the dust collection hose for a trash can. Eventually the housing busted for the fan that extracted the shavings out of it, which would create an enormous amount of shaving build up inside of the machine, which resulted in taking it apart and... more info
