Planer, Thickness Planer, 13-Inch, 3 Knife for Larger Cuts, Two Speed 20,000 RPM Motor, Corded (DW735)

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!

The finish quality is outstanding - boards come out smooth and consistent with minimal snipe, especially when using the two-speed feed option. The cutterhead design, dust collection, and overall build quality feel a step above other planers in this class. Setup was simple, and the machine is surprisingly quiet for what it does. Paired with a good dust collector, chip extraction is excellent. I’ve run everything from pine to hard maple through it, and the planer handles it without bogging down. It’s not the cheapest planer, but you absolutely get what you pay for: power, precision, and reliability. If you’re looking for a serious upgrade to your shop, this is a fantastic choice.

Exactly what I needed for my woodworking projects. It runs quite quietly considering its power, and connecting it to my dust collector keeps the workspace tidy. I’ve used it on various woods from soft pine to dense maple, and it consistently performs well without slowing down. While it isn't the cheapest option, I feel confident in its durability and accuracy. If you're upgrading your workshop tools, this one is a dependable pick.

This is my first planer. I looked for a very long time, watched all the videos I could find, did the all usual wavering,... So satisfied with the DW735! It’s true that I haven’t got much to compare my experience with in regards to planers, but I do know finishing. My first run of my DW735 was to plane some salvaged 2x8 floor joists from a house built in 1870. After extensive due diligence removing square nails, the planed results are very impressive! One of reasons I decided to try the DW735 was the option of running at different speeds. I first ran each of the joists through at the “Dimensioning” (faster) speed. On my second board, I noticed it had planes so smoothly as to leave that nice sheen we all love to see. I then played with the “Finishing” speed. I can report there was not a huge difference, but definitely visibly better in regards to finish. These heavy, old, genuinely 2” by 8” boards fed through the machine beautifully. The final point I’d like to add to this experience is the dust removal. I upgraded my shop with a Jet Vortex a short time ago. I’ve been running with it for about a month now, and had filled the collection bag with only about 2” of dust. I now need to empty the collection bag! Planets do produce a ton of dust, no surprise there. The reason I add this is the only dust that I could find was residue from the bottom of the old boards. This was the cleanest, most dust free machine I’ve tried. I would agree with the warnings that a shopvac would not be able to keep up with the volume of dust produced. With a decent collection system though, it was a very pleasant and dust free experience. In hindsight, I wish I’d have bought the 735X. I haven’t looked yet, but I would imagine the cost of the package including the in/out feed extensions and extra knives would be cheaper, but I’ll have to check. I used boards to level the heights of the in and out, which worked fine, but the tables would have been nice. If you’re looking for a planer, this one will not disappoint.

Works good. Leaves a little indent when I put a long peice of wood through. I usually leave an extra little bit on the board and cut to size after planing to avoid this. Great machine.

Let me begin by saying that I live in northern Iowa and have used this machine for the past 11 months. I have put approx. 4000 bf through the machine with only minor difficulties. I've worked with cherry, oak, walnut, cedar, but mostly ash. After approximately 3000, is when I really started to notice a problem with the knives and flipped them over so have approx. 1000 on this side. However, I'm now noticing the groove problem again. Now the reason why I stated that I live in Iowa. Winters here can get pretty cold. If my shop isn't "completely" warmed up, I'll have a huge problem with the rollers not moving the wood through the machine. Once the machine was warm, then there was no problem at all. Summer time here is also hot and humid. I've noticed that I've had a couple of clogs from wood shavings during the summer months. Not sure if that was a humidity problem or not. But I haven't had any in the winter months. I should also not that it is very loud, so you will NEED ear protection. Now that I've beaten it up, here's what I have found I like about it. Although it clogged a couple of times, it was very quick to clean out especially if you have a power screwdriver with an allen wrench tip. Four top screws, three thumb screws and you're into the exhaust area of the machine. Each blade has eight screws to loosen and then you can flip the blade (they're two sided). A person can change all three blades and have it all back together in about ten to fifteen minutes. The machine is easy to use and pretty much idiot proof. It has a quick set knob (once adjusted) for depth so you don't have to use a tape measure. Although I wouldn't want to carry it for a great distance, it is pretty portable with built in handles. I have friends that have Delta and Craftsman. After helping with their planing projects, I was happy to get back to my Dewalt. If it wasn't for the feed problem, I would have given it a five star rating. Good luck and hope this gives someone a little insight and help.

I've heard the gripe about the hefty 90 pound weight. So what. Put it on a stable surface and you don't really have to anchor it. Besides, most portable planers are really too heavy to be called "portable". The wide stance of this thing prevents it from wandering like many 2-post planers, so anchoring the thing is optional. Speaking of posts, the 4-post mounting gives this machine stability that rivals most small stationary planers. The lack of infeed and outfeed tables (available as an option) is a minor problem. The sheet metal tables that come with portable planers are usually difficult to adjust and get knocked out of adjustment with as little as a cuss word.I prefer to use portable roller supports. They don't stay properly positioned either, but they give you a broader base. The best thing about this machine is that it has three blades instead of the usual two. At thicknessing speed (96 cuts per inch) It gives a smoother surface than most finish planers. At finish speed (192!), it gives the smoothest finish I have seen from a small planer, portable or otherwise. The lack of a thickness lock is a little annoying. The manual says you don't need it because of the 4-post mounting system. This is not entirely true. I found myself doing more work to level a panel than I am used to doing. Some people have complained about going through a lot of knives. Well, yes, you will. Any planer with disposable blades is liable to the same complaint. They are reversible. A small advantage. I didn't go through knives nearly as quickly as one reviewer. I took about 20 BF of Bloodwood down about 3/16" and put a fresh surface on both sides. I took another 10 BF from 5/4 to 3/4 because the stuff was twisted. I haven't rotated the knives yet, although I noticed a little slowing when I was milling the twisted stock. This stock is extremely dense. It ate up two sets of knives on my old planer, so I am not that disappointed. It's a fact that some species will dull your tools faster than others. In all, for a small, "portable" machine this is pretty slick. I'm very happy with my purchase.

wheni got thisi used the regular cutter head to see how it worked and it was good smooth and with little to no snipe. but running the kind of wood i use (pallet) it only took a few passes before i nicked the knives just a little but still. i spent this morning changing the cutter head to a helical cutter head this was a lux 3 cutterhead with 40 separate cutters and wow what a difference in both quality and noise. the sound was much lower and the shaving much smaller and it was as sooth as well you know. yes the heads cost a bit more at fist blush but they actualy saveyou cash in the long run a lot of cash not only are they harder to nick but if you do get one you just lossen on carbide cutter and turn it ninety degrees and you can do that three more times too. I love this planer and i love the new head and it is not difficult to change just be careful as the cutters and wickedly sharp.

This is my first planer so I was pretty excited. Set up was a breeze as all that's required is to attach a handle with the provided tool. After hooking up the dust port I ran my first piece through, a rough stud grade 2x4, taking a 1/16 off using the finishing cut setting. There was zero snipe and the finish was glass like perfection. I'm super happy with the first impressions of this machine and since it's a DeWalt I have no concerns about longevity. I wish all my purchases went this well.

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