Dewalt 735 Planer | Unboxing & Setup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 січ 2020
- Unboxing & setting up our new Dewalt 735!
*Note: I am not sponsored by Dewalt and purchased this planer.
Below are the primary steps for setting up the 735:
1. Remove all components
2. Test all switches
3. Add debris port
4. Add infeed/outfeed trays
5. Level infeed/outfeed trays
6. Inspect blade assembly
7. Test
The primary reason for purchasing a mechanical planer is for quicker dimensioning and surfacing. We’ll be putting together a video which goes over dimensioning by hand and mechanically and what should be considered when dimensioning mechanically.
Why did I choose the Dewalt 735X?
- I’ve heard excellent things about the planer online and it’s fit in a hobby to low production environment
- The assisted chip removal has been praised as strong enough to need no additional suction
- It’s upgradable to a helical carbide cutting head
- It’s mobile enough to move shops if necessary
- The 735X came with an extra set of blades and had the in/outfeed tables
If you have any questions about why I chose the Dewalt 735 planer, please leave them in the comment section and we’ll make sure to get it answered.

So I used my infeed/outfeed tables as-is out of the box for a while & got great results...the further out ends wer in fact angled up slightly but that actually prevented snipe. I’ve since leveled the whole thing out and have to deal with snipe pretty consistently. :(
I noticed the same thing! Especially when working with heavier work pieces. I ended up going back and providing a small upward angle, like you mentioned, to help remove snipe and it works like a charm. Lesson learned, unless safety is an issue, try it out of the box before making adjustments.
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 ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxIzvvTi3_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.
Couldn’t agree more!
Just bought this plainer and going to use it tonight. Your video popped up in the search some kudos on that, you’re getting recognized. I as well am trying to start a channel and I know how much time and dedication goes into this. Thank you for the great explanation and good luck!!
Sorry for the late reply! For some reason your comment was marked as spam and I had to approve it. I appreciate the kudos! What’s your channel? I’d love to check out your content!
Excellent presentation. Articulate and to the point. I just purchased this planar and refer to your video often. Congrats on reaching 10k, although I don’t understand why you’re not at 100k. Keep at it. You’ll get there soon. You’re far better than most
Thanks Mitch! That means a lot 😊
Glad you liked the video and found it helpful 😊
My thoughts exactly!
Thank you! I just ordered mine and can't wait to get it set up! Now I feel like I can confidently calibrate it - I didn't know what to do before!
So glad I could help! Hope you love it as much as I’ve loved mine!
I wanted to thank you for making this video. I too now own a 735 and I’m not big on reading instructions (at least initially) but if someone shows me how to do something then no problem. You showed me how to setup my planer and there was no problem. Thanks again and well done on the video, stay well.
Cheers from Toronto 😎
I appreciate the feedback Steve! Glad you found it useful!
Cheers from Oregon!
@@NorthwestCraftsman, this described me to a tee! I have had my planer in my garage over a year. I think I have the guts to get acquainted with mine. Love to see how you connected the vacuum system. May have more questions on that. How to I ask more questions after this? Do I just come back to this video?
@@warnercruce8946 I’m so glad you found this helpful! If you comment back on the video I see it and try to respond to every comment. Otherwise my email is in the about section of my page.
This is excellent. I now understand how to set up my Dewalt planer properly and how to run it. Very nice job!
Thanks Steve! I’m glad you found it helpful! Even though you’re not ready for maintenance, you may find this one helpful too!

I just ordered my dewalt 735. I'll have to watch this again when i pick up my planer at Lowes tomorrow.
Helpful setup video!!
So glad you found it helpful John! If you have any questions, let me know! Love this tool.
Hello,
I apologize for the earlier message. I figured it out. It is different than what you show in the video though. I was confused at first but then played around with the fittings to make it work. Tried it out briefly, and it seems to work OK now,. Sincere thanks for your help and trouble.
No problem at all Jerry! As I’m thinking back I may have done a “quick and dirty” test with some of the base dust deputy parts but I’m glad you got those parts to work!
Happy Woodworking!

Well shot videos. We all start somewhere. Good luck with your channel
Tuco 21 thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
For anyone wondering what adapters I have on the chip port, I have a 2.5” coupler to a 2.5” 90° elbow to a 2.5-2.25” tool attachment. I used Rockler Dust Right brand but the following Powertech attachments should work as well with the one exception of needing a second coupler at the outlet because I couldn’t find a tool attachment reducer combo. You can replace the final coupler with one that will fit your shop vac or dust collector system.

@Aziz D the hose is 2.5”. I’ve added links in the comment for all components in the chain.
Very informative video. PLEASE TURN DOWN THE VOLUME OF THE MUSIC.
Thanks 😂 I’m do apologize, the mixing on this video wasn’t the greatest
…or throw some Led Zeppelin on and turn it up a little more.
Very helpful 💪
Thanks for this video, I watched it before I used my planner, was a big help. Now I am rewatching it and really appreciate you linking the dust collection. My shop vac couldn't keep up and the discharge on the planner is so powerful that I am going to use your setup.
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful! I notice another large improvement in performance when I moved to 4” powered dust collection rather than the 2.5” used previously.
Great video! What type of setup is that for dust collection? Where did you find that, if you don’t mind me asking?
Just unboxed my 735 today and appreciate your video.
Enjoy it! It’s probably the most used tool in my shop!
Very informative video. Still looking for 2 and1/2” 90degree elbow and rubber connectors

Really great video!! Just set mine up today and wanted to see if there was anything else I needed to check and setup before doing my first test run so thanks for all the details!
Glad you found it helpful! Enjoy it! This thing has been a workhorse in my shop
The tables are a pain. Best to build an in feed and out feed table that's perfectly level and flat. Start on the smallest cut, which I think is like 1/64 or 1/32. I've noticed too that if you look at the grain and try to line it up it helps too. I put lumber in at an angle sometimes to figure out what gets the best results. Depends on the species too. Walnut for example seems to take it however it wants, but oak or pine seem more prone to tear out.
Another DeWalt735 reviewer mentioned that adding a planer to one's shop, is akin to the time when we all purchased our FIRST table saw - a game changer. I'm ready to order my 735X.! Thanks for the great video. I am now a subscriber. PS: That other reviewer noted that DeWalt created a little tray to keep the knife compartment thumb screws.
This tool was 100% a game changer for me! My first real power tool and man, I use it on every single project.
And you’re totally right! They have a handy tray for the blade screws as well.
Thanks for subscribing! It’s great to have you as a part of the Northwest Craftsman community 😊
@@NorthwestCraftsman Do you have a jointer as well?
I do, I purchased it later as much of the jointing you need to do can be done on a table saw, in a planer, or on a router. I purchased one purely for convenience so I could stop the tedious jigs to joint the other ways.
Thank you it was very informative. I am new at this. Need all help i can get
Welcome! 😄 I’m glad you found the video useful! I’ve only been woodworking for a few years now and have learned a ton but continue to be blown away by what I don’t know 😂
Thank you for your video. It was very helpful since I just purchased the same planer. Did you ever upgrade to the helical carbide head? If so, did you create a video on the topic?
Glad you found it helpful!
Regarding the helical planer, I sure did! Here they are.

I always enjoy your presentations. Clearly explained with lots of great insight. I recently purchased this planer and finally set it up. My question is more around dealing with the chips and how you managed them coming out of the machine. Fairly new to woodworking (you help me last year on a Christmas project with the valets - everyone loved them by the way) and I wanted to see if hooking up a 4" dust collector hose to feed into a 5 gallon bucket would be an option. I can see from the sheer volume of chips coming out that I would have to do something to keep the bucket from being blown over. Any thoughts? I do all of my work out on the back porch. I'll be building a wood shop over the summer so for now I'm looking for the cheapest/safest way to handle the wood chips. Thank you very much!
Hey Jim! I'm glad the trays were a hit! :D
For chip collection it's actually pretty easy but you're right, there are a ton so if you have anything small, it'll fill up fast.
For a long time, I used a 2.5" hose connected to a dust deputy (cyclone), which fed into a barrel. The blower is strong enough that the cyclone filters everything out without needing a shop vac. Links to that entire hookup can be found below. It's the same one I used in this video. Now-a-day's I have a full dust collection system that uses 4" hose throughout which was an easy swap.
If you have any questions about the setup, don't hesitate to let me know!
Coupler, 2.5": amzn.to/3mqT1Pe
Elbow, 90deg: amzn.to/35Et5c9
Reducer, 2.5"-2.25": amzn.to/3e4lrvq

Hose, 2.5”: amzn.to/37MqhMN
Hose, 2.5” Adapters: amzn.to/2HJGO9z
Blue Barrel: amzn.to/2HDpGlI
All that being said, there are a ton of shops that just let their machine eject their chips, especially if they're in an outdoor space. If you through a 90deg bend on it and pointed it down at a 45 towards the ground, you'd probably be fine.
@@NorthwestCraftsman Thank you very much! I appreciate the detailed list as well. Once I get it set up I'll send you a pic of the finished product!
Please do!
I just ordered one i figure for the extra 100 it is a great valu over the smaller dewalt plainer 👍
Totally agree.
Where do I buy a 2 and 1/2” 90 degree elbow and rubber sleeves (connectors) ? My dust collection system is also 2 and 1/2”. Lowes and Home Depot don’t have that size.
I have made my own connections using 4” and reducers, but it is not as clean as the on in the video on how to use and adjust my DeWalt 735 planer.
This was helpful, thanks! My only (well meaning, I promise) critique was the volume level of the music. Each time that came on I had to turn the volume way down and then when you started talking, way up. Otherwise solid so thank you!
You are too kind. I appreciate your tact and openness about the error on my part and I will very much acknowledge I messed up the audio mixing on this one 😂 unfortunately UA-cam doesn’t let me remix without wholesale deleting the video. Glad you liked the content though!
Love this easy vid that covers so much quickly and clearly. I wonder if there was much dust that came out of the collector? It looks like it was clean, but I wonder if it captured the fine dust as well or just the big chips? I know it's been a few years so you may not monitor this one. Thanks again.
Glad you like the style! Your question is a good one. I've been really impressed with how much the dust deputy pulls out of the air. Honestly, it seems like it captures just about everything, certainly more than the rest of the dust I generate.
@@NorthwestCraftsman thanks!
Great job explaining
Thanks! I’m glad you found it useful!
The only thing I'm pissed about is the 735 don't come with the infeed and outfeed tables. You have to buy separately. And I did not know that when ordering. I guess the 735x comes with the tables and extra blades. That's b.s. Same exact machine but just add and x to charge more for adding 2 asserories
Yea, it’s kind of frustrating. Sometimes you can find a good deal on the 735X which makes the components cheaper.
Great overview, man.
Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback!
Great job. Thank you!
Is there a noticeable noise difference when shifting speeds? Just wanted to ask just in case the shifting ever fails
No noise difference that I can tell, though I haven’t measured sound levels. Largest noise factor is the depth of cut. Deeper cuts are much louder than fine passes.
Great video! Just picked up one myself and looking forward to putting to use! I see in some of the material you ran through it has some knots. Did you find this damaged the blades at all since you have used for a couple years now?
Thanks Kevin! I’m glad you found it helpful! And great question. I have found them to be pretty robust to pine knots but have hit a few that leave nicks the blades. I woodwork most weekends and the original set of blades have just about reached the end of their life, both sides. Pretty great on the whole. Though, I almost solely work with pine.
Thanks for the help!
So glad you appreciated it!
Thanks for this video, I always get psyched out when getting a new tool at first and this was just enough to make myself comfortable with the initial set up. Just was wondering if you had your vacuum running for the dust collection in the video or was that just the planer spitting it out?
Great question! And I totally get that feeling. On my end, I usually read through the manual front to back to make sure I have a good understanding of what's going on and the vast majority of my tool unboxing videos are just walking through the manual.
For the dust collection, that's the planer by itself! It has a powerful blower, in fact, in my new shop it's more powerful than my dust collector can even keep up with so I puff dust out of any loose spots in my system when I have it running 😂 In this video, I just had it hooked up to the cyclone to filter out the parts and spit clean air back into the room.
Amazing video and you also unknowingly answered my question on how to connect a exit hose to it. What size did you use to make your elbow joints?
Glad you found it helpful!

Great video, Thank You! I had a brain freeze moment and put the extension tray on upside down. I can't get it off to put it on right. Can you tell me how to remove it? Thank you again.
Oh man! I’ve totally had the same type of moments.
So the install when right side up had those spring loaded detents. How’d you get it over the fixed fasteners on the bottom?
I would appreciate if you also explained what all 2 knobs do.
Can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not 😂 it’s a good one if it is. But just in case, the switch on the left is for fast vs slow planing speed (1=Slow, 2=Fast) and the wheel on the right is for thickness control 😊
@@NorthwestCraftsman Apologies for being rude, but if your title says 'set-up' you 'should' explain all core capabilities. I had to watch a couple of ther videos to learn that the knob of left is meat to set the max depth - the blade will NOT go below that depth. Sorry.
Gotcha! See, even on my follow up I didn’t cover that knob 😂 you’re totally fine, I should have touched on it in the video. It’s a fair piece of feedback 😊 Glad you were able to get it figured out though!
I JUST bought a 735 last night...so thanks for this. I was enjoying the video until I saw the OSU sticker on the frig...LOL...Go Ducks! ;)
Bahahahahaha, glad I could help with the woodworking, sorry I couldn’t help with your choice in school 😉😂
Hi very nice presentation. I have a 13 inch dewalt thickness planer. Let’s say I have three pieces of 2X4 and each one them is 2-7/16 , 2-3/8, and 2-5/16 how do I make all three of them being 2-5/16 without manually measuring them. I appreciate your input. Thanks
Hey! Not a problem, that's a great question. I was actually doing something similar in my shop tonight.
If you don't have to be exactly 2-5/16 but can be a hair shy, I'd put that first piece up to the mouth and lower it down until you just barely see the gauge move. Run it through the planer and you should hear barely any material being removed. If you didn't hear anything, move it down a hair and run it again. Once you have this height set, run the rest through; it shouldn't have any issues taking off that amount on 2x4's. I have it now as a standard practice when dimensioning to finish all my parts that need to be the same thickness with one final pass to ensure all of them are exactly the same thickness.
Also, if you need both sides to be planed to create a nice face, you'll repeat this on the back for all of your pieces. This second pass should be the same amount of removal for each piece since you made them all the same thickness in the first step.
Good luck!

@@NorthwestCraftsman hi thanks for the quick response. That is an excellent idea.
Well done! Thanks
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid! Did you have a dust collector attached to the cyclone? I couldn't tell from the test plane. Thanks!
Thanks! And great question! I did not. The blower is strong enough on the planer to work the cyclone effectively
If you want to mount the planer to the bench with bolts or screws, how do you do it? The body of the planer is in the way preventing one from drilling holes or inserting bolts/screws or using a wrench/screw driver.
Great question! When I mounted mine to the Dewalt mobile table, it already had the holes drilled but to do that I’d raise it all the way up, mark it, drill with the planer out of the way. Once there you should be able to fit some bolts, nuts, and washers in to secure it.
just bought this and there is no screw in the crank handle shaft. I would go buy a replacement, but I don't know the width and depth. Wonder how it slipped by quality control
Wow! No kidding. I’d contact whoever you bought it from to get a replacement or reach out to Dewalt directly for a replacement.
God morning,
I ordered the 2.5 inch x 10' hose as shown in your list, only to find out that it's too big for the port on the Dust Deputy. The hose fits the outside of the fitting on planer end instead of inside as shown in your video. It looks like from your video that you are using a smaller hose then 2.5". Any suggestions?
I like your video, I just bought one myself and just setting it up! The only thing I don’t like about your video is the music is so loud I have turn down the volume but then I can’t hear you!!!
Thanks Darrell! I’m glad you found the video helpful. I’m working to improve my audio mixing 😂 my intention isn’t to blow out your eardrums 😂
Thanks 🙏 love the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
thanks i need one like that can you help me in purchasing one with 240 volts
Great question! I’m seeing rumors online that Dewalt has a 735-XE model which is 240V but I can’t seem to find a product listing. It’s possible because my IP is in the US that I’m only linked to the 120V model. Check to see if you can find a 735-XE locally.
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.
Man! I’m sorry to hear you had such a rough go at it. I hear you on the chip blower as well. It really does need to be hooked up to collection. Hopefully your old one suits your needs well enough for your work.
Hey, I followed your advice on ordering the the parts for the dust collector (it was very helpful). I do think that the reducer (Reducer, 2.5"-2.25) was not necessary to buy, and was not shown in your demo. If I'm wrong lent me know, but if not you might want to remove it from the list. for me using your list it was an unnecessary expenditure.
overall though thank you. I really appreciate your help (I had to order internationally so I wasn't sure what I would need)
Glad you found it helpful! You're right that the reducer may not be needed depending on what you have attached. For this video I only had a test hose to run it to my cyclone but I've since added the following hose and love it. With the new setup, the 2-1/4" adapter allows me to plug my 2.5" hose into it. I'll update the list with the parts, thanks for the heads up! I always take for granted how easy we have it in the States with Amazon and 2 day free shipping.

I don’t understand the need for the cyclone attachment. Why can’t I simply run a hose from the planer into a catch barrel or bag?
You totally can! The bag or barrel will need to have an outlet of some kind to let the air out and the cyclone just helps to "clean" the air ahead of time. There are plenty of bag attachments for planers though.
Great question!
You will get less snipe if you position the grain heading down into the bed. The other side would be done on a jointer.
From a logistical perspective, does this then limit your workpiece to the width of your jointer?
If you’re going to use a jointer you should run it through jointer first, jointing one face & one edge square to it then run it through planer to plane opposite face. I only have a 6 inch jointer so wider wood needs to be faced on planer with a planer sled & leveling wedges then taken to jointer to square up one edge in preparation for table or track saw.
How do I set up and purchase the barrel vacuum set up?
Here’s a video of mine that has most of that explained
ua-cam.com/video/cJjJjcs99E4/v-deo.html
Links to the setup are in the video’s description.
Happy Woodworking!

I want to unbox my planer and found your video. My first confusion came at taking the top off. why look at the blade assembly? and those things called worm or screw drives, what are they and what do i do if the blades wobble? ok testing shifter didn't tell me anything. what would it do if its bad?
Hey Beulah! Sorry for the confusion. I think I understood your questions correctly but please help me understand better if I didn’t.
I look at the blade assembly to make sure there isn’t any packing material or debris in it before starting it up and to ensure the blades are installed correctly.
Regarding the worm or screw drives, if you’re referring to the 4 posts in the corners, those are what control the height of the planer and ensure it stays flat while being lowered.
With regards to blade wobble, if the blades themselves are wobbling in the spindle to which they’re mounted, you’ll need to tighten the screws that hold them in place. If my memory serves me well, there are three. If you’re talking about a small amount of rotational play, that’s normal. That being said I’m not official Dewalt support and they’d be able to help you debug more of you’re still concerned with the wobble.
Regarding the shifter, testing that was just to go through the function of shifting. It won’t work unless the tool is on but if yours is broken, I’d contact the store you purchased from to coordinate a return or contact Dewalt support.
If I didn’t understand any of your questions correctly, let me know! Otherwise I hope you get your tool up and running, I love mine in the shop.
Happy Woodworking!

What's the dust collector you use and where can I get one?
Great question! It's an Oneida cyclone dust collector. They have different sizes but this one is sized for a shop vac, though, it's not strictly necessary to have one because the blower can power it. Below are the links for the setup I have.

Will sanding eliminate the snipe look?
There was an adjustment done after this video on the infeed/outfeed tables to remove nearly all the snipe. However, yes, sanding will remove snipe, it’s just a matter of how much sanding for how much snipe.
Hi. How thin a piece of wood can you pass through this? I'm trying to tidy up pallet planks and wondering if this goes low enough for such things. Thanks!
Great question Matt! I think it will work great. If I’m remembering correctly, it can get down to 1/8in.
I appreciate the video. What did you use for the dust collection?
For additional info, I saw the list of items on the description. However, I am wondering, do you attach a vacuum to the dust deputy?

Great question! This is a dust deputy!
amzn.to/3MAlrG0
Mine never came with in/out feet... Is that normal?
Yea, there is a specific model that comes with the infeed and outfeed tables. I believe it’s the 735X but it depends on where you purchase them.
So since I only have a shop vac, do I turn the shop vac on when using it, or no?
If you don’t have a dust deputy/collector set up I would turn it on since the planer would otherwise have to push all the air through the filter and motor of your shop vac as well. There are also a lot of really great plans out there for cheap dust collectors which I’d recommend because this produces chips very fast.
Yes, turn it on.
Excellent video! For leveling the feed tables, highly recommend using a box level. Accurate to 0.1 degree. Place it in the middle of the bed withe the face positioned toward one side (as opposed to facing the direction of wood feed), zero it out, then move it to each of the feed beds. QUESTION: How do you adjust if the blades are not parallel to the bed, making one side thinner than the other?
Thanks for the compliment! And you’re totally right with the box level, great idea.
One problem I’ve found recently with my trays being perfectly level is that the small amount of flex they experience under the weight of a long board will induce snipe. To counter this, I’ve inclined them ever so slightly, so the outsides are higher, which reduced my snipe greatly.
To your question though! Which, thanks for the clear formatting, made it much easier to spot the question. That will likely be in the 4 posts that raise and lower the entire cutting mechanism. I haven’t ever heard of it not being true to the bed. I’d contact Dewalt if you have an issue with that.
EDIT: After some quick Google sleuthing it looks like rotating the posts individually is the way to adjust but that this is done exceedingly rarely.
@@NorthwestCraftsman Great idea on the snipe -- will do it, thanks. Don't have the room to house a feed table similar to miter saw -- that would be sweet! As for level, it's off .017' across 5.5" piece of hard maple, according to my Neiko 01407A . Significant to me for table tops. Will continue research; thanks again.
Interesting! I need to go through and measure mine to see if it’s co-planar or more realistically how co-planar it is. 17 thou over 5” seems pretty steep.
Here’s one of the threads I saw on the topic. One guy measured off each post and iteratively checked on a piece of wood. I suspect you could just iteratively plane a piece until you’re within tolerance across the cutter head. If mines out, I’ll end up making a video on it 😂 let me know if you learn anything!

@@jerryhubbard4461 No kidding. It's insane. Hopefully the mills can get back to it and start to replenish supply.
try and balance the volumes levels next time between dialog and music. awesome setup video though
Thanks glad you found it helpful! And yea, my audio mixing on this video was awful 😂 unfortunately UA-cam doesn’t let me change that after the fact
What does the dial on the left do?
Great question! It’s a preset depth stop. When you set the depth there, you won’t be able to adjust it lower than that. I have found it to be less than accurate and just relied on the gauge to get repeatably planed boards.
What type of dust collector is that? Just a stand-alone bucket with some sort of funnel?
This one is a basic two stage separation system. Single stage would be shop vac only, two stage has a dust separator ahead of the vacuum. This system, which I still use regularly, is a dust deputy on top of a generic blue barrel. You can put it on top of anything with an air tight seal. I’ve included links below for all the parts I used. Honestly, a dust separator is a huge bonus and almost a necessity in a wood shop. I’ve had to change my shop vac bag once in 2 years and I bet most of that was from when I was too lazy to hook up the cyclone.

How do I get yhe
What did you wipe on with the towel?
Great question! I usually clean with simple green then apply paste wax
I visited my local pawn shop and found a 2021 DW735X for $430 hardly used👷🏻♀️ I'm so jazzed! How would I get a replacement star key tool?, I'm using a seperate star key set but....
Fantastic! That’s a great deal! It looks like they sell the replacement with the fasteners on Amazon but I believe it’s a T-20. Double check that though.
amzn.to/3I7E0Qm
@@NorthwestCraftsman such a gratifying memo thx for replying. I figured someone would reply but much to my surprise you took the time. Okay the T-20, Ill verify. I'm jazzed there are blades in this pawn shop DW735X. I was just in the shop mounting my 2nd table saw on stand. I got a cheap Ryobi 10" $189 coz my 10" Craftsman is driving me nuts with the broken gate and unable to change out my blade due to old parts, coz this gal has a fairly large custom order that I must finish by deadline, so the DeWalt planer was a God sent and Thank you for these tips , I already looked for finishing wax, now that you mentioned it.
So your vid is rather helpful👩🏻👍
So glad to help! The 735 was the first power tool I purchased, outside of a drill, purely for time savings. It’s easily been the most used tool in my shop since every project starts with it. Good luck with your projects! And feel free to stop by if you have any questions! I may not be able to answer them but I can at least give it a shot 😊
Happy Woodworking!

@@NorthwestCraftsman I verified it is T-27 and T-25 star tool, will fit as well.
I see what you mean about shop vac not being able to keep up... omg mine filled up in no time and I didnt realize it until saw dust blew back out the front of the planer🤦🏻♀️ but what a great job the DW735 does😎🤙
Awesome! Thanks for confirming!
And Right?! For a very long time I had my Oneida cyclone hooked up with no shop vac at all. Just let the blower power it all and that worked amazingly. It’s still more powerful than my 1HP dust collector 😅
My 735 keeps stopping. Barely taking off over the zero line, not even to the 1/32 and it keeps bogging down and stopping.
That’s no good! When was the last time to rotated your blades or replaced them?
@@NorthwestCraftsman it was brand new. I returned it
Would a roller stand not help with snipe ?
Depends on the cause! On a long heavy board, absolutely. The indeed/outfeed trays sag under the weight without a roller and I frequently use one on either side. With smaller boards that won't sag, snipe is still usually caused by the trays being misaligned. I have to adjust mine periodically because the times I feed a heavy load through.
Thanks for sharing. I noticed you plugged the dust port on the planer to a dust deputy . Did you connect a shop-vac to the dust deputy?
I actually don’t! The 735 has enough blowing power to take advantage of the dust deputy’s cyclone. I’ve found that adding the shop vac on the back side only restricts flow more. Plus, the few fluffs of shavings that make it out of the dust deputy exhaust port are far less than the ones not extracted from the knife area of the planer.
@@NorthwestCraftsman Awesome! Thanks !
@@NorthwestCraftsman Have you tried capping the top port on the dust deputy or does that hurt the performance? I have a dust deputy mounted to a 55 gallon drum. Thanks
Capping the dust deputy will stop it from working, it needs the air to flow through the side port, around the edge, and out the top. Otherwise it’ll just pressurize the container it’s on.
Well done, great instructional video! Can you please tell me what dust collection can/barrel system you are using? Does the flex hose come with the barrel or do you get that at a hardware store? 4 inch? Thanks in advance!
Thanks Joe! I appreciate the compliment. I use the dust deputy and bought the blue barrel to collect. The hose and adapters were from amazon but you may be able to find one at your local hardware store as well. For the hose size, I use 2.5”.

As of the filming of this video, I was using SC Johnson Paste Wax. Unfortunately they’ve discontinued it but it looks there a couple of the recommended replacement are from Minwax, Renaissance Micro-Crystalline, & Briwax. I can’t personally speak to any of those, though, I have probably another decades worth of SC Johnson wax on hand 😂
@@NorthwestCraftsman 😅 thanks so much
The content of your vid was awesome..when it comes to the high and lows of the back round tunes please stop the high blaring part..I'm 69 and just bought a 735 but i can't stand the loud parts..It is obnoxious ! I have a noise issue ....Just an even sound all the way through would be appreciated..Thank you!
I’m so sorry, I totally messed up the audio mixing on this video and UA-cam doesn’t allow me to go back and fix it. Glad you appreciated the content though and hope you get a lot of use out of your 735!
Hi. I need your help in resolving this problem. I used the links you provided to purchase all the parts you listed only to learn that the Dust Deputy bottom and the Blue Barrel top sizes don't match. The Blue Barrel top diameter is a coupe inches larger than the dust deputy bottom which is about 13" I think. I can provide the exact dimensions if you need them. Please help. Sincere thanks. Jerry.
Hey Jerry!
When I purchased my dust deputy it came with a hole guide and a gasket so I could then secure it down to the lid. Does yours have those components?
@@NorthwestCraftsman Hi Thanks for your prompt reply - First, I ordered the Plus version of the Dust Deputy which comes with a lid I thought would just snap onto the Blue Barrel. Unfortunately, the lid is far too small. So do I just toss the lid and cut a 5" or so hole using the gasket as a template and screw this directly into the top of the barrel?
Should be something close to that! I haven’t used the super before but if it’s like the regular, the bottom of the cyclone has a flange with the central hole and hole pattern around the edge. I drilled that pattern out of the lid included with the blue barrel and then bolted it on. Again, I haven’t used the super, but if it’s like the regular, it should be close to that.
@@NorthwestCraftsman Many thanks for clarification. Great Video btw. Keep em comin. Jerry
What is that drum you have hooked up to the hose catching the dust? Is it hooked up to the a dust collection system or is it independent?
Great question! The drum is for dust collection but I stand alone because the exhaust on this planer is sufficient to force the chips through the cyclone. Below are links to all the parts I used.

@@NorthwestCraftsman Thank you! I just received my Dewalt 735 planer a couple of days ago. This helps alot and I will be setting it up like yours. So far has it been working fine the way you set it up with independent dust collecting?
It works great with it being powered independently. Only real reason I hooked it up to the rest of my dust collection was because I didn’t like hauling my blue barrel from one tool to the next. I do see an improvement in chip collection when I have it hooked up to my primary dust collection but nothing that would make me say it needs to be done.
Also, I think you’ll love this tool. It’s a work horse and probably the most used tool in my shop. Next upgrade I have planned for it is a Shelix cutter head.
@@NorthwestCraftsman Cool thanks man! Yeah I saw a video of people changing the cutter heads I hear good things about it.
Same here. Only down side is it looks like Shelix is back ordered for about a year and they cost almost as much as the planer 😂
Whoa mine did not come with the infeed tables
Not all of them do, the 735X does and has a few spare blades but the regular 735 model only has the base planer. Sometimes stores will also run a deal where you can get the planer mount for free (this was a deal I took advantage of).
spherical head upgrade ?
Haven’t yet! The helical head is about $400 but it’s high on my list!
gently check the torque on your blade screws before firing it up for the first time.
Great tip!
Great video. Only suggestion is to turn down the music when you're not talking. Sudden super-loud music meant regularly having to pause and change sound levels up, down, up, down. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback! My apologies on the variable volumes!
All the rest was very well done and super useful. I'm setting mine up tonight for first time. Thanks.
Awesome! I’m glad it was helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out (email in the contact section is the most reliable way) and hope you get a lot of use out of your 735 like I have.
@@NorthwestCraftsman Yeah, I came here specifically to comment (and rather 'loudly' at that!) about the music blasts. W/out exaggeration, I would say the music was no less than 3x the volume of your speaking. In the main, however, it is a very good video and much appreciated as I am about to unbox our own planer.
Thanks a lot!
J. Go. Thanks for the feedback! I’m working to equalize that out in future videos. Out of curiosity, what device are you watching on?
Great video on how to set up and inspect the 735....but why is the music 5x times as loud as when you're speaking? Turning down the volume and back up is a pain in the ass...specially when my wife screams at me "TO TURN DOWN THE VOLUME"T
I’m so sorry 😂 I messed up the audio mixing on this one and UA-cam doesn’t let us change that after the fact. I’ve tried to fix this issue moving forward though!
Good but not thorough enough or complete. As others have said, DO NOT ADJUST TABLE EXTENSIONS! Mine worked perfect right out of the box, zero snipe! I made the same mistake on my last (Rigid) planer.
Would have liked to see more (any?) info on turret settings, depth of cut, using different speeds, multiple boards at same thickness etc.
These are pretty important elements to effectively use this unit. Need to look elsewhere to get fully and properly informed.
Thanks for the feedback! This was one of my earliest unboxing videos and I had been experimenting with different depths of content and agree that deeper has been more popular. Because I’m always learning, it’s not always possible or feasible to hit everything in an unboxing video and am planning to do followup videos a year or so after that touch more on usage.
Truly, thanks for the feedback and happy woodworking!

First of all the Dewalt comes factory set to prevent snipe. You, genius leveled the unit there by creating snipe.
Leave it alone do not adjust the feed trays.
Unfortunately I listened to several of these hacks set up the Dewalt and it screwed up my unit. I should have contacted Dewalt first and not listened to hacks!!!!!!!!
Tom Blount I’m sorry to hear about your snipe issues. You are right that I should have tested the planer without adjusting and then move it from there if there was an issue. I as well had seen plenty of reviews that mentioned snipe with the “from the factory settings” so I adjusted it immediately, hind sights 20/20. It does take a little time but it’s totally possible to remove the snipe by adjusting the trays.
Happy woodworking!

Calling someone a hack is a bit harsh but I’ve experienced the same thing. I’m probably going to have to spend some time trying to readjust it back to original settings.
Great video. Voice is low, music is loud. Maybe make them the same level. Had to bump up and down the sound over and over again while watching. I turn it up to hear your voice, then the music comes blaring in, I have to turn it down. Then I can't hear your voice, and have to raise the volume again.
I'm so sorry haha, my audio mixing was awful on this video and I can't adjust it after the fact on UA-cam. Glad you enjoyed the video though!

Iv been thinking for baying 1 sins i have been making things from pallets
Oh man, yea, this would be a massive time saver.
Wasted my time thinking you’d show how to actually set everything. I don’t understand the turret stop. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. But it won’t grab and plane my wood. Even tho it says it’s going to take 1/32 off
Shoot! I’m sorry to hear that. Everything is pretty hard when it comes to setting tools up because there are basically infinite adjustments. However! It sounds like your depth of cut gauge may be off, are you able to plane the wood at all? Disregarding the depth of cut? If testing, adjust depth slowly to ensure you don’t accidentally take a huge cut.
I hate the volume change you do when you bring in the music, I love everything else you've done but having to turn down my volume then turn up, then down, then up, not great.
I totally messed up the audio mixing on this video, thanks for bringing me the feedback.
