I've had mine for several months now and have been pleased with overall performance. I had bad snipe until adding infeed/outfeed tables, now not a problem at all. The depth guage is very accurate, chip ejection fan works very well with a hose and a big trash can - no dust collection system needed. The finish on hard wood is very good at the slower speed (which is still a decent feed rate) and blades are easy to access. My one complaint; blades are only available in high speed steel - no carbide. Also, when I took my first pair to have them sharpened, I was told they couldn't since they are 2-sided...review »
My wife wanted to re-do the kitchen cabinets in Hickory. It looked good until I needed to smooth the surface with my old Jet planer. The blades must have been dull, because she screamed trying to smooth Hickory. I checked out new planers and decided that three blades were better than two and got the DeWalt. WOW! It cut so smooth with no effort. The blower elimated chips all over the place and I only connected it to my shop vac. A suggestion on really hard woods.... Go slow and take little bites. This DeWalt did the job better than I could imagine. I have just a little sanding to finish this project....review »
This dewalt planar is strong, and Snipe is a thing of the past. I am very pleased on how much Bd. Ft. I can put through before the blades were dull. The finish was also a real treat. I have run Pine, Oak, Walnut(entire tree), Maple, Cherry, Elm through the planar.
I marked value down 2 stars due to the steel tables not being part of the base system.
I marked Overal Rating down 1 star due to an incident with me putting the knifes in backwards, and the instructions not giving clear enough directions on the directions the blades should go in. There is one picture if you look close enough,, you can...review »
This planer is a jewel for the serious wood worker who also needs a certain amount of portablity this unit performs very well. Its 2 speed selection and 3 knife configuration provide exceptional performance, I have mounted my dw735 on the portable miter stand dw723 (you have to support the planer on 3/4 to 1" plywood accross the complete bottom or the height adjusters will bind) with the 16 feet of support for stock you can run a lot of material through this unit on the job site or your drive way and still have a great place to run your miter saw dewalt sells extra mounts for the dw723 for about...review »
I have just finished planing twenty 12" cypress boards ranging from eight to twelve feet long, this machine did an excellent job without any tearing of the wood or bogging down, most needed little or no sanding to be furniture grade smooth.
