5-10 dB less may not sound like a big difference next to the planer. For those outside of the building, it may be more noticeable though. Now you can plane at 2 AM without waking up the whole block. It also means you can now bring your planer at the next autocross event and still pass the sound check.

We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives kzitem.infoUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

These projects to make purpose built improvements kind of remind me of my senior year in woodshop. After doing all the cabinety things you learn, from 8th grade on, I got bored with hutches, dry sinks, grandfather clocks. I tried to drop out of wood shop because my senior year of high school was super easy, because I already had enough credits to graduate. The head shop teacher refused to let me quit. Instead he put me to work building roller supports for the planer ( Bigger than Bob's) a somewhat expensive wooden table extension for the table saw and more stuff. Of course this was in the 80s so... Love this channel.

I like this usage of the hydraulic cart. I've been researching tool stands and I've come across a lot of designs for flip-top carts incorporating a planer and sander. I don't like the idea of losing the on-board storage for all of the sander accessories (if it were to flip they'd all fall out). Another issue with the flips tops is the height seems non-optimal for sanding. I've deicide on a 2 tier fixed stand with the sander on the top and planer on the bottom. I'm going to use my harbor freight hydraulic lift cart to get the planer up to working level if it's a pain having it mounted so low. Also the lift cart will be great for being able to move it around. BTW, the lift cart also comes in handy as an outfeed table.

I bought my planer with a helical head and, after seeing how much better it was, I converted my jointer to have one. The small chips are nice, but, along with the immense lifespan of the inserts, my favorite thing is how much less tearout there is. Helical heads handle figured woods so much better! And I love not having to deal with knives. Oh, if you ever get an insert(s) that leaves marks, you probably need to clean out the packed sawdust underneath it/them. It doesn't take much.

I can confirm that this cutter head does in fact take more power to run. For some sort of insane and masochistic reason, I decided to make my own custom redwood shiplap siding which required running a massive amount of board feet through this planer. The cutterhead worked perfect. The surface finish was great, and I've yet to have to even turn one of the blades. Rather, there may be one at this point, but I've gone through a lot of wood. While doing so, the thing had a tendency to throw a breaker if I got too aggressive with it. Eventually, I ran a dedicated circuit and it still threw.

Decibels are logarithmic. A 10 point increase in decibels is a 10x increase in loudness. So the 10 decibel difference in this, while hard to tell apart perhaps, is actually enormous. Over 100, it flashed because that's in the danger range for causing permanent hearing damage (from just one exposure)

Let me start by saying I found your channel a week or so ago by chance and I really appreciate your videos. They’re informative, funny, and fit my work style really well. You mention the helical cutter head leaving an almost sander smooth surface and that’s much what I had previously expected. I was just about to drop the cash for a Byrd head when I watched Next Level Carpentry’s video on pallet wood and he showed a piece that was planed - presumably on someone else’s 735 - that he described as really scalloped and would require a lot of sanding if you were putting a nice finish on it. That scarred me off and I thought I might stick with the pain of the disposable straight blades. Have you noticed any of that at all? I thought maybe it was just that planer’s setup but not having hands on experience scared me away from spending $400. From the video the finish you’re getting sure looks nice. If you don’t get any odd scalloping maybe I’ll just give that Lux head a try. Thanks! Love the videos. -Reed

I would nudge them over, flip around etc. Seemed like I was always in there and it got to the point where I was afraid to put anything questionable through the thing because I knew I'd ruin yet another set of knives.

I had this planer for a long time. I ran so much wood that I wore out the dust fan twice and the fan housing once. My first improvement was replacing the red plastic screws holding down the dust cover.. 3”bolts with two nuts works great. To be honest I never thought replacing the cutter was worth the price especially if you have the ability to sharpen the factory blades. Just make sure you keep the sets together as there is no adjustment in depth. You can also slide a blade to one side to stagger any nick in the blades. My solution was to use a thickness sander with fine paper to make the final pass. Just my two cents.
