@@DealArtist824 I had it in my car for like an hour and a half. Watching videos to see if it was worth the money over other planers. When I saw the price history on amazon it has only been at this price like 4 times in all history, I purchased it right away.
I just bought this planer today (my very first). I am still learning the finer points of using it, but those pieces of cupped scrap wood that I have given a "test drive". The outcome was astonishing to say the least. It's heavy, it's loud but it works! i will recomend it to anybody.
Thanks for bringing up the "type" difference man, that's a topic that I was ignorant to until I started hearing about the differences in the types for the DWS780 (miter saw) I didn't know I needed to look out for the same on this planer.
Yes I found this out when I wanted to replace the base plate. Was pretty surprised when it started warping on me and separating from the base - especially because I don't abuse the planer.
I literally bought one if these yesterday, the regular 735. First time ever using one and I got great results on some rough cut oak and walnut. Wish I knew about the extractor, blew up 2 shopvac bags...Oops. I was surprised at how easy it was (newby) to use, thanks to plenty of YT videos. Thanks for the video.
Nice, you're going to love the planer. For a small shop, it'll do everything you need it to. I have a video coming up soon on installing a helical head on it.
Hey, I've owned this tool for perhaps 5 years now. Terrific review. You captured the pros and cons really well. I haven't had the problems you've experienced with the baseplate or rollers so on that I'll just count myself lucky. Great video. Well done. For good content. Good production. And sound advice, I've subscribed.
I recently bought this planer. The price for the 735 planer, infeed and outfeed tables and a set of blades purchased separately was $80 less than the 735X.
I just purchased the 735x with the outfeed tables, extra blades and the bonus stand for $584 with the 10% off coupon Home Depot gives on top of the special buy of the day sale.
Thanks for the excellent video! I just today received my 735x and it’s a Type 1, so now I need to know to be on the lookout for problems with the base plate. I appreciate you making this very helpful video.
I used to have this planer but I got rid of it as the blades were not good at all. This was a fantastic piece of kit with many things going for it though it is as tough as the weakest link- that being the blades. I live in New Zealand and couldn't find any better blades (only m2 laminated steel planer knives were available) and would recommend to anyone thinking about buying this tool to get some really high quality compatible planer knives. This was roughly 2-3 years ago so I do not know what the blades are like now but I would highly recommend those who are thinking of buying any tool to do research.
Hi very nice presentation and I really enjoyed it. I have two questions. 1- I do not have any available space for a planer in my garage and I live in Southern California by the beach. I was wondering if I put my planer on a cart with wheels , make a plywood cover for the cart with five sides and put the cover on the top of the cart and in addition put a cover like barbecue cover over it , would it be protected from rust ? 2- Can I run 2X4 vertically through planer ? I would appreciate your input. Thanks.
Hi contacted you five months ago and I asked some questions and based on your comments I went ahead and purchased one. Now I have another question.. 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
I just got this planer recently and ran across videos suggesting to get a helical head. Would you suggest to replace it while machine is new and I can sell head and knives?
You will get great results and the machine will be slightly quieter. I am thinking about doing the same because the you don't have to replace the knives as often. I plan on doing a video on the replacement in the near future
Amazon has the DW735X for sale at $599 as of 11/24/2024,
@johnvanderhoof1248 nice thanks for sharing! I've pinned this comment for everyone to see
@@WiscoWorkshop $499 now and it includes extra blades and the foldable in/out feed plates.
@@guayabito6946 just missed it, had it in my cart! Darn, hope it comes back.

One of the most helpful, useful, product reviews I've seen on any product. Thank you!
Thank you! I am glad that you enjoyed and I appreciate the feedback. I am still happy with the planer.

Thank you! I ended up making an extended infeed/outfeed board using 3/4 mdf. Also helps reduce snipe if you take light passes.
Great product review! These machines are a chuck of change. I have the older one, total tank.
@@skooterbob thanks! They are great for small shops. Great dust collection and a powerful little motor.
6:20 The handy little trough toward the front of the unit is a handy place to handily put the screws 🙂
Thanks!
A lot of retailers throw in the stand with the X version as well as part of the bundle. I assembled it for my dad and it's solid.
Thats awesome!
I picked one up 6 months ago, it was used for $200.00 and it needed a little TLC but it has been a fantastic planer. I use it ALL the time.
@@itsjustmetomc4848 it's a great planer for the money!
Great video. Straight to the point. Well done
Thank you I am glad that you enjoyed

@@WiLL02724 that is awesome!
Thanks for the video! Any idea on how to make sure I get the Type12? Home Depot’s site doesn’t show what type in the specs for the 735x when ordering.

Thank you. Nice review, nice style, and nicely efficient editing.
I am glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for your kind comment!
I just got a craftsman old planer..new to using any planer & having a difficult time on planer uses of my planer style.
Which craftsman planer?
Thanks a lot for sharing man!!! Super helpful review,.. I think this will be my first planer. Cheers from Alberta - Canada!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Great review, very helpful and informative!
@@BeesyWoodCo. thanks, I am glad that you found it helpful!
I have one of these and everything he said is 100% accurate.
Great review
Thanks, I still own it and think it is a great planer for the money
GR8 Review video. I am looking at buying this model and appreciate the time & effort you put into this video. Cheers from Western Australia
Thanks! Still have the planer and thinking of upgrading to a helical head
I really liked your review. It help me decide to purchase a dewalt 735x (the model 12)
Thanks I am glad that it helped!
These just dropped to $488 on Am zon, seems like a great value
If you can find them right now for under $700 it's a good deal
Great review!
Thanks!
This is the best planer for small work at home. very nice product
I haven't owned any others to compare it to, but I can say that it has been absolutely great to own. Perfect for the hobbyist.

2x4 definitely, cover you’ll definitely want if leaving outside. It just may not last as long as it would indoors but would probably work.
Very helpful am seriously considering looking to get one these replace my 3rd hand lunch box plainer. Great video 👍🏴
I've really enjoyed this planer. I think its a great step up from the lunch box style.

I would set the height on the Guage to 2 3/8, and plane the 2 7/16 down. Then set the Guage to 2 5/16 and plane both 2 3/8 boards down to 2 5/16
Interesting. Mine is a type 11. -XE. Came with a set of extra blades but no feed in trays or stand. Power switch is different.
That is interesting!

Thank you, I am glad that you enjoyed it!
I have a question do you have to level the roller case to the table?? Or does is it set permanent when it’s made at the factory?
The only leveling adjustments that I have made is leveling the extension beds to the base.
@@WiscoWorkshop thank you
Great video, thanks mate!
I am glad you enjoyed thanks!
Great video!
Thank you!
Yours is a type 1 made in Taiwan. So is the type 12 made in china the better one, or is the type 12 made in Taiwan as well?
