 "SHARP & TOUGH" 2008-08-23
By Warren E. Greenwald (West Chester,Pa.)
Only knives for this planer that I"m aware of. Amazon.com had a great price & free delivery. I've used several sets of these knives for tropical hardwoods and they do a GREAT job. The planer & three knives combo produces the best results for the dollar.

 "Still cut paper after months of use" 2008-07-27
By A_G (CA United States)
I recently bought these to replace the others in my planer, and when I took the old knives out they still sliced paper! The finish they left on wood wasn't as smooth and polished looking as these new ones leave, but if they can still slice paper that means they are sharp! At nearly $50 for the set they certainly aren't cheap, but I'm only on my third set in four years. I don't use my planer daily, but I am a rather avid woodworker so it doesn't sit idle for months either. Planing mostly very hard tropical hardwoods is the norm for my machine. These knives are made in Taiwan, but to my surprise they are not in any way lacking because of it. As an aside, they are also very easy to reverse/change. Definitely five stars.

The replacement knives were shipped in good time. They work very well. No problems.

 "Planer Chip Collector" 2010-03-08
By M. R. Berry
Item works pretty well. The only negative is that when this is over the top of a garbage can there is so much force moving the chips out they try to blow out of the garbage can under that tie down strap. Needs to have a wider strap to seat properly (and tighter) onto the garbage can. Overall works much better than throwing wood chips all over my shop area.

 "Dewalt Planer Dust Collector" 2009-02-18
By Crabby (Severna Park, MD)
Results are modestly satisfactory. Overall a quality shop vac will serve the same purpose with less capacity but is adequate for occasional usage. Complete containment of dust is not possible as very fine particles escape from the top of the hood. Over priced.

 "Wonderful Innovation" 2008-09-06
By SawdustAlley.net (Carlisle, PA)
PROS:

Having used several other planers, the DeWalt 735 is a real winner. I have 3 of these units. I placed the planers on a Rubbermaid carts & slid 30 gal trash cans below (bottom shelf). What a blessing - to plane & not have dust / chips flying everywhere. Thess planers are super & super easy to use (& change blades).

CONS:

The draw string doesn't grip sufficiently. But, adding a ratcheting strap clamp solves that problem.

 "chip hood for Dewalt planer" 2008-09-01
By H. R. Pat Kelly (Mattoon WI)
The hood works well with a 30 gal trash can but a 55 gal drum would work better if your doing quite a bit of work. Putting a rope over a beam and raising the flex tube in a U shape help's also. I'm happy with the way it work's and on a scale of 1 to 10, I give it an 8 as there is some fine dust that come's through the cloth.

 "Chip Collector directs wood chips where you want them" 2008-08-01
By David F. Danboise (Oswego, NY)
Most useful accessory I have purchased for my shop in years. If you do not have a vacuum system in your shop, the Chip Collection Accessory is a must have.



The chip blower on the DeWalt DW735 planer is powerful enough to direct the chip through the 10 foot plastic hose and into whatever receptacle you secure the fabric hood over. I use a 30 gal plastic garbage can. The draw string secures around the outside of the rim of the garbage can. 95% of the chips are collected directly in the garbage when you operate the planer.



The only negative thing is that with the draw string attaching to the rim of the garbage can, there are some chips that will collect between the outside of the rim and the fabric hood. When you take the hood off, these chips will fall directly on the floor at the base of the garbage can but they are all around the garbage can and makes clean up easier.



As the ground wire connects directly to the DW735 planer making removing the hood a bit more complicated, I crimped a spade type connector onto the end of the wire. When I want to remove the Chip Collector, I simply unplug the ground wire from the DW735 and release the locking collar ring from the planer discharge port.



Good value product. I would definitely recommend this accessory.

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

 "Good for a first timer" 2010-04-13
By G. Gordon (Nashua NH)
This is my first planer so it is difficult to compare against the performance of others, but based on the mix of reviews, I was unsure as of what to expect.



I purchased the feed extensions and the mobile base and set up was simple. I did read the manual as I've never operated one before and within 15 minutes I had made my first successful pass.



I had 3 trees rough sawn from my property. A maple and two black walnuts. I've planed about 60 board feet so far. Based on the blade feedback, I have been taking very light cuts (~1/32) so I don't overheat them. I've cut out the knots in the wood and have widths ranging from 5 to 12 inches and lengths from 1 to six feet. About halfway through the 60 feet of wood, I have noticed a couple of very slight nicks in the blade. But overall they remain sharp.



The finish is above my expectation and I'm quite pleased with it, but then again it's my first look at the results of "home planed" wood so I'm not sure how a pro would rate it.



The dust collection is strong. I have a Jet canister vacuum and the blower on the Dewalt is so strong, I don't even have to turn the Jet on, it just blows right right through about 15' of tube and into the collection bag.



Technique seems to play a big role in the results at the ends of the boards as sometimes they are perfect and sometimes I have some snipe.



Overall, I'm pleased with my choice and I'm hoping the blades last for a reasonable period of time.

 "Cheaper at Lowe's...." 2010-03-16
By Franklin D. Meadows
This product works great but is by far cheaper at Lowe's by over $100 and that is they're regular price!!!

 "Okay, yea..." 2010-03-06
By David P. Wing (Massachusetts)
I've been planing rough sawn hickory with mine since I got it. And, yes, it takes its toll on the blades. But, I came in and read the reviews before purchasing this planer (my older brother also got one) and several had some really good suggestions on how to minimize the issues that come up. Using wax paper on the bed every so often really helps. Also, I use Mineral Spirits to clean the bed every so many board feet.



A neighbor makes fun of how often I change the blades with the hickory but then, he has a six thousand dollar planer. For my budget, this was and has been a good purchase for me...

 "Excellent little planer" 2010-02-04
By Brent EuDaly
I have been using this planer for about two years and still love it. I routinely use it to plane rough hardwoods such as maple, oak, hickory, and walnut. I always run the boards over my joiner first, otherwise this planer has trouble with warped and rough boards. I love how easy it is to change the blades, even thought they are rather expensive. I get about 70 bd ft before I need to change the blades but since they're double sided, I really get about 140+ bd ft per set of blades. I'm very happy with this planer and I would buy it again anytime.

 "biggest bang for your buck...if you buy the upgrades" 2009-12-10
By A. Martin
I always due a lot of research before buying any expensive new tool and this was no exception. This was also my first planer. I wanted a quality bench top planer instead of a stand-alone due to limited space (still have to get the car in the garage). Also, I'm more a weekend warrior. I don't do woodworking for a living, i do it for fun. so i couldn't justify 1500+ for a stand-alone. with that said, here is my review:



The planer itself is not enough to give cabinet grade finishes. You have to put another 300 dollars into it for that. The first addition is the runout tables. I have no idea why these were not included with the planer. It is virtually impossible to eliminate snipe without them. I added the runout tables (for 50 bucks) and it drastically reduced if not eliminated the snipe. Where I have had problems with snipe is when the wood i'm planing is slightly warped. unfortunately snipe is unavoidable in this situation and i don't think any planer would make that different.



the second addition (this is the expensive one) is the carbide knives. A lot of people have reported the blades Dewalt supplies do not hold up. If your planning to take large cuts with the factory blades you can forget it. Those blades will wear down very quickly. They're made of high speed steel, not carbide. why would you ever make a cutting tool out of HSS for this application? I have no idea. The factory blades would hold up if your planing 1/32 at a time and your not planing any extremely hard woods like Teak (and honestly i wouldn't feel comfortable planing mahogany with the factory blades). I knew this when purchasing the planer and soon after i purchased the carbide knives (250 bucks) from Infinity Tools (you can find it here on amazon). Those blades took my dewalt planer to a whole new level. I am very pleased with the planer. I have run a few bf of white and red oak thru it so far with the new blades(i will update my review as i get more use out of it). The carbide makes a noticeable difference on how the planer sounds (less load on the motor). and the planed surface is perfect in my opinion. Next project is and 8/4 cherry kitchen table. I am looking forward to seeing how the planer performs.



I gave this planer 4 stars mostly due to the cost to get it up to my standards. total i have 800 bucks invested into it which is still under 1500+ for the stand-alone and i feel i am getting the same quality and durability.



If you want to spend more money: wixey makes a digital readout gage (about 50 bucks again) that bolts right up to this planer. I have it and love it. It increases the precision of the tool overall.

 "Well made stand great addition to planer" 2010-02-09
By Jason Wagner
First I'll say that I did not consider this stand at its current price point. I did however find it cheaper (think green tools and a type of bear) and bought it. I was impressed with the packaging and the abused box contained untouched pieces. There is plenty of foam and plastic to protect everything. It took me about 40 minutes to put it together with the planer on top. In my opinion if you can't follow these directions, then you shouldn't be using a planer. They aren't great, but not too difficult to decipher. There is a single bolt at the bottom of each leg like some have mentioned. I too think this is weird, but the stand doesn't need any more support once it's all together because the leg rests on the base. A great idea from "D.E.Meek's" review and supplied pictures is to turn the pedal around on it's hinge if you mount the wheel inside the frame. That modification makes it much more user friendly. I found that I can just lift the frame and the wheel pops down to roll it around, and then push the pedal to pick the wheel up and drop it to the ground. The MDF top is more than sufficient since most of the weight is around the outside. There is no flex. Lastly I like the height but would use caution buying this stand for a scroll saw or sander because it's a little low for that. I'm really happy for the price I paid, but would be more a lot reluctant at $160.

 "Ken Nerad, USAF SMSgt - Retired" 2010-01-17
By Ken Nerad (Walker, MN USA)
I recently received my DW7350 Mobile Stand and am really impressed with the overall quality and ease of assembly. It took me less that an hour. I purchased this expressly for my D55141 Air Compressor. I am already planning modifications by adding a 24" x 14.5" x 10" high drawer for keeping my pin, brad and finish nailers close at hand, in addition to various air compressor assessories. This drawer will be mounted on bottom slides. I am also adding acorn nuts (8) to the bolt ends on the base, foot pedals and rubber feet for aesthetics. The MDF top is OK, I would have preferred if the planner mount holes had not been predrilled and the top had been an inch or two longer and wider. I will replace the top in the future. I may add a drawer pull to the front short side for ease of moving it around.

 "A Very Useful Stand" 2010-01-03
By StainlessSteel (N.E. Indiana)
I purchased this stand for my DW734 Planer after moving it around by hand was not going to be productive to long term back care.Dewalt has a mounting template for mounting both Dewalt DW734/735 planers,also, it would not be very hard to drill mounting holes for other portable planers out there in the market other than Dewalt to fit this stand.

 "Planer Stand Good Addition" 2009-11-13
By Campy Kid (Lancaster, PA)
I found this stand an excellent addition to the DW734 planer. It requires about an hour to assemble, but instructions are complete and all the parts fit. The stand is very stable and compact and contains the vibration of the operating planer well. It allows the planer to be easily moved around the shop, an important feature to me with my limited shop space. Amazon shipping was prompt and on time. Everything considered,this was a good purchase for me.

 "Great stand, awkward wheel lock" 2009-10-05
By K. Peterson (Cold Spring, MN)
Good sturdy stand--very solid. Slightly complicated to assemble as the directions don't give a lot of guidance. The pedal that you step on to raise or lower the wheels is in an incredibly awkward place. You can install it either inside the frame or outside. If you choose outside, the pedal will stick out really far and you will trip on it and snag every cord you ever use on it. If you choose to mount it on the inside, you have to contort your body a bit to get your foot under there to push it down and lift it up. The stand is great for its purpose and I would reccommend it, but the pedal was poorly designed.
