DEWALT Thickness Planer, Two Speed, 13-Inch (DW735)

Unfortunately item was damaged in transit but it looked very capable of carrying out the required task.

Tardo un poco en llegar, poco más de un mes. Es bastante pesada, se debe cargar entre 2 personas. Al abrir la caja, la maquina tenía una abolladura en la base de aluminio, y en la caja de cartón se notaba el golpe, no se si llegó así a mi casa, o le pegue yo, pero afortunadamente ese golpe no afecta en nada su desempeño. Es una maquina que te da gusto ver, de esas de las que te sientes orgulloso de tener, y trabaja muy, muy bien. Espero que me dure muchos años, ya solo me falta la canteadora, para obtener maderas completamente a escuadra. Lástima que en este modelo no se incluyen los accesorios de extensión y los tendré que comprar por separado, pero fuera de eso, 10/10.

We’ve gone through a couple of no name planers from Canadian tire, and one of them were so disappointing that we actually returned it just after a week. Because of that experience, I decided to buy this Dewalt planner for my dad instead. We are a huge adult lovers in our family, and it’s the main tool brand we stick with. This planner is great reminder of why. The build quality is solid, and right out of the box you can tell it’s made to last. The four post design gives excellence stability when running a material through, which makes a big difference in overall performance. The three blades combined with the two speed options allow for a smooth, clean surface every time. It’s also very portable, which makes it perfect for taking out of the shop and bring it to different job sites when needed. Overall, this planner is wonderful and exactly what we expect from DeWalt. We highly recommend this.

I purchased this Dewalt DW735 to replace my 20yr old Ridgid TP1300. I've used it only a few weeks now. It is a great planer and fits as a replacement to my Ridgid. I do miss some features of my Ridgid. The outfeed table on my old planer was much more stable than Dewalts. Also, this model does not come with the outfeed so I purchased those seperate for $45. The Dewalt has a pre-set rotating depth dial for 1/8 -1" where my ridgid had a range from 1/8 - 1³/⁴". !!! This planer is heavy!!! I built a new stand with wheels to accommodate the 90 lb weight ... about 40 pounds heavier than my previous. The weight however, does reflect a heavy duty build. It is a tank, and the 3 blades give silky glass finish. The dust collection is a learning curve. It has built-in dust ejection and it ejects with angry force. The exhaust force is so much it labors my shop vac. The best solution for me was to get a Wen $130 dust collector and that works o well. I always liked the simplicity and effectiveness of my ridgid shop vac adaptor, but if you do not currently have a dust collection system and are running shop vacs consider you might have some adjustment to make. The dust port fits 4" dust collection hoses but also has a smaller port that fit my old craftsman 6 gallon. (very tight fit) Decibals! ... this planer is loud! It's an odd, jet-engine like frequency that moans. I believe it is a result of the dust ejection system. I purchased headsets as I never needed them before. It's not deafening, but annoying at lengths of time. ... The crank to adjust depth requires a bit more effort than most but I love that you do not have to lock the depth. Just crank and go! It may seem I am complaining about The Dewalt DW735, I'm not, I am really singing the praises of my old Ridgid and it's price point of $400 from 20 yrs ago. I purchased a newer $400 Ridgid model and returned it a week later as the build was not near par to the older model. I am convinced this $600 Dewalt is the best equivalent to my Ridgid I really like the Dewalt DW735 but consider ⚠️ some research and plan on some minor adjustments in dust collection prior to purchase. It is heavier and a bit louder, resulting in a tank with beautiful silky finishes. ... and it's Yellow!

Not cheap, but when the time comes that you need one, this is a decent machine. This thing is a beast. I have run hundreds of bdft of hard maple, oak and walnut through this, plus countless bdft of soft woods. It just powers through. It will make a mess if you don't control the dust, so some form of dust collection is an absolute must. I just use my large shop vac. It is also very noisy, so wear hearing protection. So far I am still on one set of knives and the finish is good enough that a little light sanding is all that is required. It can leave a little snipe on the ends if you are not careful in how you feed it etc, but that's true of pretty much any small planer of this style, just allow for this before making any final cuts etc. Overall this has been a great investment for my small wood shop.
