I have had my 735 for about 3 years and your review is spot on. When I was first getting into woodworking all the youtubers were saying "Buy what you can afford to get started but you WILL end up with a Dewalt." I bit the bullet and went to the Dewalt first. It has paid for itself and it even came with an extra set of knives. : )

Yeah ... agreed 100% !! I have had a 735 for 8 years ... and used the hell out of it. Mostly use it for conditioning old barn wood, or rough cut sawmill wood to use in fine wood projects. Never has ceased to amaze me at the capabilities of this machine. Everything from knotty cedar, to hard oak ... even black cherry ... and it ALWAYS has produced gorgeous smooth, almost polished woods, planed to dead-nuits accuracy, to work with. AND ALL THIS with the same set of knives it came with!!! Have never been changed!!!! (But that task is on the calendar now!!) For me, personally, IMHO, wouldn't, COULDN'T be without it!! But will agree to the comment about the weakness for the tabs at the exhaust duct connection for added ducting. As to cost ... in my experience ... now ... ???? Costly, high-dollar as common shop tools go ... as outright necessity and usefulness are concerned ... just starting woodworking ...if you have to go without ... GET THIS MACHINE FIRST!!!! It pays for itself in function, and use, by producing furniture grade / quality material out of the mill rough, and barn retrieval ... almost instantly. And keeps on doing it. One last caveat ... be sure to set aside in the budget ... enough for a DAMN good set of ear-protectors!!!!! It is VERY LOUD in operation!! Call it deafening!!

You can 100% sharpen these knives. You're not going to sharpen them a dozen times, but 2-3x, no issues. Now you're also not going to sharpen out a big nick. But, if your blades are a little dull you can easily make a sharpening jib to put a fresh edge on them.

I had my 735 for 3 days. Took it back. Worst snipe I've ever had on a planer, and I've been using shop planers since my first one (Makita 10" ) back in 1980, regardless how I fed the material. This machine also ate blades. Less than 10 minutes planing clean pine 2x8's and the blades were rendered unusable and that was while taking less than 1/16" on a pass, about 1/2 turn on the handle. Switch is in a terrible location, nothing to keep a board from hitting it and turning the machine off when sliding a board across the top and positioning it to refeed it. Then there is the chip exiting the machine at 200+ mph. There needs to be a way to disconnect the blower to be able to just have the chips drop into a receptacle. And lastly, as if this wasn't enough, the power cord is on the wrong side of the machine, creating a tripping hazard unless you do some magical rerouting. Back to using my 25 year old Ryobi AP13 which still performs remarkedly well after a million miles of use.

Thanks Jake and a really useful review. These sell for around $1,600 in New Zealand so a lot of money but still a good quality tool. Sorry to hear you don't like metric but seriously, you should give it a try. It's waaaaaaaay easier to calculate in 10s than using imperial. I'm originally from the UK where we changed from imperial to metric about 50 years ago so I've had plenty of itme to get used to it. Looking back, the idea of 32nds, 16ths, 8th, 12 inces to the foot, 3 feet to the yard etc just seems archaic and frankly, bizarre!

Ive had one for years now. I HATE the snipe. I always need to plan how to not waste wood. It is such a pain. And if you think, well others say snipe can be taken out, they are wrong. If you want to manage snipe you need to supply blocks before and after the wood and those blocks should be the same thickness as the wood your putting through OR you can screw in some wood that is about 10 inches longer then the length of the board, and it should be on both sides of the board. This takes time and is always problematic. Its better to look at a more expensive machine. And if you are taking multiple passes, snipe accumulates, on top and bottom. If you starting out and don't care about annoying snipe then its perfect. I would NOT buy it again for my shop. Engineers should be able to take out snipe, but they don't care enough to design out this flaw. And the dust collection is always in the way. You might be able to do without a jointer, but you must have a planer. So if at all possible, get a better machine. If this is all you can afford right now, then get it and upgrade later.
@MakewithJake

I can usually minimize the snipe that I dont need to worry about it. If I ABSOLUTELY need the wood to be perfect, then yes, I will cut off the ends. But 0.005" of snipe is good enough for most woodworking.

I just picked one of these up used with a small chip in two of the knives that left a line on my first few test pieces. You mention the knives are indexable, but it seems you can also slide them side to side just a little to get a little more life out of set of knives by staggering the mutual chip. Running on 'finish' speed this virtually eliminated the line being left from the chip as the other two blades clear away the missed material. Seems like a solid little planer and I'm quite happy with it so far. Perhaps consider a 3D printed QR adapter to remedy your outfeed table issue. I'm currently waiting for a new hose 45 degree hose adapter to print. The DeWalt adapter seems... lacking and is fragile..

You claim to hate Metric.You obviously do not know what you are talking about. Metric is so easy, it leaves Imperial for dead. Try doing calculations in Imperial, multiplying fractions by fractions is difficult. Mllimetres by millimeter is easy.

Millimeters are too small. It takes way too many of them to build larger projects, like bookshelves and houses.

Thanks for this video. Looking to get a planer and it is likely this model. Any idea how long the straight blades last before you need to flip them over?
@MakewithJake
Жыл бұрын
Thats a tough one. It really depends on how much shop time you get, and what materials you are cutting. (maple will burn out blades much quicker than pine). I think you should experiment, but start with flipping them after a few months of use. If you can tell that it made a huge difference in performance, then stick to that schedule. Good luck!

I enjoyed the review and thought so much of it that I ordered your book. I was VERY disappointed and feel duped by what amounts to clever marketing. Now, I didn't expect much in the way of informative content, as I was looking for a structured journal that I could capture project details in a standard format. Unfortunately, your book is simply bound graph paper. It would have been nice to have a notes section and an organized place to capture materials. I should return, but I won't. I feel I deserve the lesson.

It's not bad. Better than most machines, in my opinion, but some woods (especially hard maple) tends to be a little worse than others. But if you are able to plan ahead, this can often be mitigated.

You know I have watched a lot of videos about this planer going back about 7 years and it is still the same machine with no upgrades just more expensive also most of the planer knives are easy to change the design it's pretty much the same, I have a Bouer very cheap but it doesn't have a chain drive it has a rod with gears that is far superior just saying. P.S. does it give you snipe?

The dewalt blades are garbage. I bought a 3 pk off amazon that were not dewalt and they are far better. I haven't tried the Infinity brades but that is next on the list to try. I would go with the shelix before I buy the carbide blades since it is only a couple hundred more than the carbide blades.
