This deserves more views, it's better, more complete and concise than the other vifdeos up here for blade replacement.
Thanks Ben! I appreciate the positive feedback!
Thanks so much for showing how to rotate the blades! I figured out the rest of the process myself, but couldn't figure out how to get to the blades underneath the first one. Great work! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Happy Woodworking!

I came here to say the same thing! None of the other videos I watched mentions that step!
yes, thank you
This is without a doubt the best vid on the subject!
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the video. I am glad you mentioned the release to rotate the blades. Didn’t see it and it was driving me nuts.
Those are always the things that trip me up 😂
Thx for the video! Changing the blades looks very easy to do. Also, great tip on how to eliminate the small ridges without replacing the blades!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for telling us how to rotate the shaft!!! Just what I needed. The explanation is clear and helpful!
Glad I could help!
Happy woodworking!

I'm a rookie at this stuff, but your video made this an easy task. Great stuff, thanks!
I’m so glad to hear that! That’s exactly my goal since I as well am a rookie, perhaps just a few years ahead.
Great video. One note to be aware of - the adjacent blade needs to be avoided. While cleaning the base of my blade beds I noticed the rag I was using had deep cuts. Had my flesh gotten there - - - your thumb knows the results.
Oof! Yea, good reminder. They. Are. Sharp.
Hey Thanks!
I borrowed my neighbors planer to rebuild some old window sashes.
I figured I'd replace the blades in appreciation. ✌️
Oh I’m sure they appreciated that! Glad I could help!
Thank you for explaining how to rotate the cutter head to change the other blades. I watched 5 other videos about changing the blades and none of them explained that step.
Glad you found it helpful Jeremy!
Super video. I was in the shop planing 13" wide walnut and getting nowhere. After an hour and the circuit breaker tripping I decided to replace the blades. So, I watched some vids on replacing them and I liked yours the best.. Thanks for a very good explanation. Subbed and liked.
So glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the clear concise video. Great job! Ready to change my blades now.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks a lot! Have some old hemlock and caught a nail. Going to start gy offsetting the blades. Thanks for the tips!!
Oof! Hate it when that happens. Those staples and nails can be so sneaky. Glad you found it helpful!
Hey man, thank you for making this video and being thorough. I appreciate it as I'm changing blades in mine today.
Glad you found it helpful!
Good luck with the blade change!
It went well and super easy! Cutting real nice now. I took your suggestion and did right, left and center. Seems to work great 👍🏻
Awesome!! 😄
Very helpful! Clear and concise explanation - thank you!
Glad I could help! 😄
Thank you !
Yay I’ve got a sharp side still. Thought I was gonna have to get them sharpened…
Glad to hear you’ve got some time! They’re really not that expensive to get new ones too. Below are links to off brand blades and OEM blades.

Great video. Thanks
Glad you found it helpful!
Great vid!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Good vid dude
Thanks!
Thank You for the tutorial, I am swapping blades for the first time. I doe have question though: do you recommend the helical cutter head replacement for this Dewalt and what should I expect from it? I mostly handle maple wood for furniture.
Thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful.
You ask a very good question. On the whole, I’d say it’s a toss up.
Pros to the Helical Head
- Better surface finish
- Better handling of figured grain
- Longer lasting (More resilience to dulling)
- Easier to “change blades” by rotating
- Less risk of catastrophic failure because of staple, nail, or wild knot
- Nominally quieter
Cons
- Expensive upgrade
- Reduces maximum cut size for the DeWalt (on 6” maple boards I can usually get 1/32” at a pass and still trip my breaker regularly)
- Not so quiet I can go without hearing protection
I have a video of the before and after of my upgrade below. My two cents. If you want the helical blade, look at upgrading to a machine that has higher power and a helical blade. The total cost on the dewalt with a helical blade is close to $1000 and for about that range to a few hundred more, you can find awesome, used planers with helical heads.

@@NorthwestCraftsman Thank You very much for the detailed response, this is very helpful. On a 6” joiner from Grizzly I went for the factory version with a helix cutter head and very happy. I was tentative on the conversion of the Dewalt planer. So far I have been happy with the surface finish. Given your notes I can invest in new blades and more frequent changes for a long time relative to the upgrade cost and until investing in an upgraded machine. Thank You !
Glad I could help! My 8in grizzly jointer is one I’m very tempted to get a helical cutter on as well! Good to hear you like it.
Terrific video with excellent presentation! 2 Qs. First I checked my blades and can now run my finger over them without getting cut. Is that a good indicator for time to replace? If I’m getting a line down the middle as you spoke about, and it’s due to a single damaged blade, is it worth replacing that one or is it more efficient to just replace them all, price aside?
Hey Mitch! Glad you liked the video!
To your first question, you’re a braver man than I am 😂 I’ve sliced myself too many times to try that. I’d say yes, it’s probably time for rotation or replacement if they’re that dull.
To your second question, if you replace/rotate them it won’t matter but in the future, you can shift the blades in their slots, one full left, one full right, and leave one centered which should wipe out some of those stripes 👌 after that, rotate, after that, replace.
Got it! Thanks Josh. This is the fourth time you’ve helped me on woodworking projects. It’s a rare personal touch you provide. Please don’t ever change.
@@mitchkalish sorry for the delay, initial comments bubble to the top but the replies get buried by UA-cam 😂 I appreciate your kind words
Thanks for how to rotate shaft .
I was like Duh how do I do this ,
It’s so simple but sometimes it’s so hard to figure those things out 😂
I am really new to planers and joiners. I have found you make things easy to understand and do. IJust have one question, do the blades need to be torqued or just firm even hand pressure on the wrench? on an electric driver just a lower setting? I have the same planer as you. Thanks for any help you can send my way.
Hey! I’m so happy to hear you find my videos helpful! It’s funny you ask that. Dewalt’s Manual for the 735 (page 10 bottom left) only says “tight sufficiently” 😂 I’ve found that, using the provided wrench, if I put it on the firm side of tight, I haven’t had any issues. It shouldn’t “pop” when loosening it. I’d also be careful with a driver because it’s easy to cross thread 😊
Thanks for the great question! Good to have you around!
@@NorthwestCraftsman thank you I appreciate you getting. You said you would and your a man of your woods. I am new to woodworking. I retired 17 yrs ago and just recently purchased the equipment to star doing honey do lists. Most equipment I can figure out but the one I have but haven’t used yet is the router. I bought the Bosch kit that comes with a plunge adapter for a table model. I bought the Bosch table and some basic bits. I may have questions in regards the router s I start playing with it.
Thanks again and I will keep watching.
Absolutely! Keep them coming! And welcome to the woodworking community 😄
I need to replace my knives on my Dewalt DW735. All was going well until i tried to remove the screws holding the knives. They are so tight I cant get them out. Any ideas on what i can do? Thanks in advance. Bill
Hey Bill! Sorry to hear you’re having trouble, that’s a tricky one. Mine were pretty tight as well, to the point I was worried about stripping them out. If you have another T-25 (I believe that’s the right size) that has more leverage, try one of those. Otherwise some penetrating oil may help loosen them up.
The piece that goes on top of the blade has two dimples should the dimple face the blade or should it face up ?
I believe it’s dimple facing upwards (bulges up) but would need to check mine in the shop to be sure.
Your beginners planer and jointer picks?
Great question!
Planer: Dewalt 735
Jointer: More complicated. I’ll explain.
The DW735 is my choice for the planer with no hesitation. It’s a professional quality planer at about $600. It was actually my first power tool purchase outside a drill. I do not regret this decision at all.
For a jointer, it’s more complicated because there are so many way to get around it. A jointer was the last tool I purchased because of this. For faces, you can make a jointing sled and for edges, if you have a table saw, you can use that. It really depends on what tools you have, your budget, the types of projects you do, and space. If you’d like, I’d be open to talking in more detail about what you have and what options you have.
Thanks for the video! Just wondering if there is a torque spec for the screws that hold the blades?
Hey Dave, great question. There is no spec according to the manual (page 10 - linked below). I’ve always gone by “pretty snug”
If you’d like one, I know the Byrd Shelix Cutters are tightened to about 45inlbs which should be about right for the OEM fasteners.

Can we sharpen the blades of this planner? Or Every time we will have to change?
I think it’s possible to sharpen them. They’re just HSS. But you’d want a jig. You can get non Dewalt replacements though for like $30 and they’re double sided so for me it was always worth buying new ones.
What do you use to clean the rollers?
Great question! Simple Green
Can the blades be sharpened?
Great question! I’ve heard they can be but I’ve also heard it’s not worth the hassle. If you had a jig, or one of those high accuracy sharpening setups (the ones that clamp to the edge of a table) maybe. But at $50 a set, I’ve just opted to replace. I have kept the old ones just in case though 😂
Just ran "reclaimed' wood (old gazebo) through my planer. Found an unremoved staple. If you are working with reused wood, PLEASE use a handheld metal detector. Do not make my mistake.
Oh no! I’m with to hear that. Did it totally wreck your blades?
Great information..
