Product Description
13", Heavy Duty, Portable 2 Speed Thickness Planer.
Amazon.com
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

 Works well at either speed. October 5, 2008
Just Al (FORT COLLINS, CO United States)
Works way better than the equivalent JET and much better than my (really) old Mikita. I recommend the folding table accessory, but I still get snipe on short boards. (Probably a matter of adjustment). I had been dreading the day that the blades needed to be changed (turned around actually, blades have two edges) but that turned out to be a snap! The rotating drum has pegs that fit into alignment holes in the blades. I rarely use it on the 'finish' speed (179 cuts per inch) as it works just fine at 'rough' 96 cpi. I've had no trouble at all going down to 1/8 inch thickness. However, connected to my dust collection system, chips fall back down onto the table surface!? It doesn't do that when it isn't connected to the dust collection system, so I don't know what that's all about. It's an ear buster, and it pretty well needs a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
 What a dissapointment September 17, 2008

This planer has been a huge disappointment. It worked great for about 100-150 board feet. Since then i have had to feed the material through manually. I bought this machine before i started only buying commercial grade woodworking tools (mostly Grizzly) and i regret it. For a few hundred bucks more you can get a 15" grizzly planer that you will love forever.
More time cleaning than working July 18, 2008
Damian (West Dover, VT)
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 as it seems to be the proverbial money pit with regards to new blades and constant repairs, not to mention wasted man hours.
 It's Plane Great June 29, 2008
L. Katz (Line Lexington Pa USA)
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 and Jointers.And it arrived very quick and in good working order. Thanks much
Still waiting to change blades June 28, 2008

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 machine. Can you believe it still leaves a great finish !!
