  • I recently purchased the Dewalt DW735 planer and thought I would share the comparison of the DW734. This is not a sales video. I hope the information is helpful to anyone planning to purchase a bench top type planner. Both are similar but do have different features.

    I've owned the 734 for several years and love it. Recently though, it wouldn't start. I checked everything and decided I needed a new switch. A few minutes later I thought I'd check the brushes. Low and behold, both of them were loose. I turned them in snug and poof....it started working again. Lesson learned....they will vibrate loose.

    If you read my comment get the 734 over the 735 I have the 734 it’s worth every penny. I carry the 80 pound planner up and down my basement stairs when I do use it and it’s awesome to use . The speed of the 734 is slow when moving he boards through which is good for that perfect finish The 735 doesn’t make sense in spending extra money on it doesn’t even come with the bed for both sides and no locking mechanism.

    Recently got 735x locally for around 450 in almost money condition and couldn't be happier. I had a lunch box style planer earlier and was not very happy with it. 735 is the auto carriage lock so you don't need a dedicated handle for it. This is due to 4 carriage bolt on which the top moves. 2 speed settings is just great. I will upgrade it helical head sometime in the future but till then a very solid machine.

    One of the things I've come to appreciate about the 735 is not needing a dust extractor. That thing blows the woodchips out with more force than my shop vac can keep up with. I ended up using a pillow case strapped to the end of the extraction hose to bag what it shoots out of the extraction port. Maybe the 734 does the same but I don't have that one.

    @johnnorris1227 2 роки тому +5

    I have a little wen lunchbox planer that looks very similar to the 734 and I get a little bit of snipe but have found you can eliminate it entirely by feeding boards back to back which may not be useful on smaller projects unless your willing to use a sacrificial board but it really helps on larger projects when you have a bunch of boards you need to the same thickness just butt em up to each other one after another. In a nutshell snipe is caused when only one of the 2 feed rollers is pressing against the board causing a little more material to be removed and feeding back to back keeps both rollers in contact with the wood.

    Thanks for the review...I have the DW735 and I have found that pulling up on the board until it engages the cutter heads and as it exits the cutter reduces the snipe The in and out feed tables also reduce snipe, I noticed that the tables are adjustable and I made them slightly higher than the main Platten this reduced snipe a lot. One thing I have noticed is that sometimes the raise and lower crank moves during operation, are you seeing this at all. The conical heads are available for the 735, but they are almost the same price as the planer. One accessory that I would like to get is the Wixey WR510, it gives you an exact reading of the current planer thickness setting.

    Just picked up the 735. Never seen snipe as bad as this. Plus only got less than 10 minutes of use on the planer knives (WTF?) before having to turn them around. Plus the handle is quite stiff even though I dry-lubed the raise/lower shafts. Not happy with the 735. I've been running surface planers for a long time, a Makita back in 1980 for a few years and then a jet 10" for many more years. Been using a Ryobi AP13 which i bought after a few years with the AP10 (needed more width). Still use the AP13, after 25 years it has never let me down and the snipe is very light. Will keep the Ryobi for jobsite work, but will return the DW735 and try the 734 for the shop.

    I think the "killer app" on the 735 is the blower for ejecting chips for jobsite use. Other than that, I suspect the snipe is both to do with the lack of tables and with the feed roller spacing.
    I like my 734, indeed very little snipe, and in the shop I can use a nice blower to help extract chips.

      It all depends on what type of finish you are wanting. Most "rustic" style furniture it is less desired to have a perfectly smooth feel or appearance. In this case you may just plane and joint your work pieces and some people like seeing the saw marks from a table saw blade. If a rustic feel and look is not what you are wanting then you will want to put a better finish to your material. Such as sanding, scraping or hand planing

    • @hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679
      @hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679  Рік тому

      You can lock it on every cut but it's not necessary. When I use the 734 I usually lock it when I am within a 1/16 or so from the final thickness. Just the last 1 or 2 passes. Unless I have snipe which is deeper than that amount. Locking it down does not eliminate snipe if your planer is producing snipe already. The infeed and outfeed tables help a lot when properly adjusted. The lock down feature helps with reducing snipe. If your feed table are adjusted properly and you lock the planer head you should get little to no snipe. If you are still getting snipe, try supporting the board by lightly lifting up on longer stock until its half way through the machine and then go to the outfeed size and support the stock the same way through the rest of the cut

    The best analysis, the most sincere analysis so far, there are channels that have a metrology tool to deal with these product comparison situations, but you are to be congratulated because it was necessary as a surgeon to give information of high relevance to potentials buyers of wood equipment. I am not from the USA, I am from Brazil and I was wanting to import the DW 735 because Dewalt do Brasil has no prospect of bringing this equipment here. Now I know that the best choice, in terms of cost x benefit, is the DW 734. When looking at the size of the DW 735 you think that you will have a machine that will correct and expand features of high importance compared to the previous model, but no! Really no! It is just one more product to have consumption than to solve in a specific way the problems of unevenness that a project equipment to have level cannot offer. Congratulations on your excellent work.

      I have both the 734 and 735 and I like them both for different reasons. The main reason I like the 735 is because of the speed of the feed rate. I can slow the feed down on hardwoods and it has time to cut which makes a cleaner cut. The 734 I use for working down softer wood and it saves that much wear on my 735. I think either one of these two planers are well worth their cost for what they do for me. The 735 is the better machine but is it worth that much more? I think so just because of the speed rate change.

      Snipe is "usually" the result of a board not being supported 100% as it enters the machine and cause the board to teeter up just as it pass the infeed roller and teters down on the outfeed just the same...A good solution that I use is to take some melamine and build you a flat, planer bed that will allow the board to feed into the planer fine and also give it the support on both ends. Just raise the planer a little bit and use the melamine as your reference surface....hope this makes sense

      If I was going to buy one or the other knowing what I know about both I would buy the 735 and get the extension feed tables. They both do a great job once set up right. The main reason is the 2 speeds the 735 has. When planning hard wood you can slow the roller feeds down which gives the blades more time to cut. You can upgrade either with a helical cutter but only the 735 can slow the feed rate. I do like the locking head the 734 has but to me it don't out weigh the 2 speeds.

  • @tedfritsch3340

      No it wont reduce snipe. The slower feed rate is for hard wood. It gives the blades more rotations per inch.

Watched another video from a fellow woodworker, he compares the 735 to a cheaper brand model and explains the snipe and why he thinks it occurs more in the 735 (something to do with the roller placement further in from the edges, and the supports being closer to the cutter head on the “lunchbox” style models) have a look if interested, ua-cam.com/video/9osTTcVz5c0/v-deo.html

    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.

    I need to rework the boards on a horse paddock. The posts are Ok but the horizontal boards/slats are "worse for weather" they have seen. I believe the boards are 2" x 8" x about 8'. My notion is to plane each side and then run the sides across a table saw and remove about 3/8" from the top and bottom, repaint them and put put them back in service.
    I do not have a planer. Is this a bad idea? If it's not a horrible idea, would you think that buying a pretty good planer, like the Dewalt models, might be worthwhile or maybe I should go with HF, buy the warranty, a few sets of blades and see how it goes?

    • @hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679
      @hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679  3 роки тому +1

      Well I wont tell you how to spend your money but if I was going to buy a planer, I would buy a something I felt would last me long past a warranty. Some HF stuff I dont have a problem with. Such as blades, clamps and so on but if I were going to drop the money on a planer I would buy what has a reputation of lasting. That is what I would do. I own both the dw 734 and the 735 and either one in my opinion are a good purchase. But you do what your research wallet says. For me, I would not spend that much money on anything that I know wont last. Hope this helps

  • @zachrawlings6523
    @zachrawlings6523 3 роки тому +1

    I was told to always feed boards in at an angle to use a majority of the cutter space- mostly not to dull a 2" section of blade- but on the old unit i used i found it to help some with the snipe. I can see how this method may not work on the 734 with the single 'removal' gauge, just curious if it helps the 735's case at all. Still, i assume an in/out-feed table would help most drastically?

    • @hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679
      @hammerdownwoodworkingtracy3679  3 роки тому +1

      I believe the extension tables would help. I never turn my materials sideways to feed them on the planer. I just move from side to side feeding them in to save wear on the blades in one spot.

    • @MMWoodworking
      @MMWoodworking 3 роки тому +1

      I have the 735 and I can eliminate almost all snipe by angling it such that the two corners before the first and last contact points. That's the key, don't just put it in at a random angle. Look at the piece and make sure the first contact will be the leading tip, and the last contact will be the trailing tip, and angle them such that you create the longest distance. I am able to get away with planing as small as 8in long pieces by tilting them such that I get closer to 10-11in.
      I love the 735, I am so glad I went with it over the 734. My buddy has a 734, and I was able to get the 735x package on sale for $600, so basically $100 more for a more solid base, tables, and extra knives. If you can get the 735x on a sale like that, snap it up.

      It's snipe. It's a divet that's cut across the width of the board when sent through the planer. When the board is allowed to tip up into the cutter as it enters or exits the rollers. In feed and out feed tables helps to prevent this from happening
