DEWALT Thickness Planer, 13-inch Wood Planer, Three Knife Two Speed, 15 Amp, 20,000 RPM Motor (DW735X)

Delivery was a full week late but that was no fault of Amazon. The original delivery company subbed out the package to a 2nd company and they didn't want to drive all the way out here for just this one item. But it arrived in great condition. Reading some other reviews I opened the box and immediately took the planer apart to check for excess lubricant. I wiped down the knives with a clean rag. I doubt there was enough to cause any problems with my project but it was noticeable. Straight out of the box this thing is beautiful to look at! I built a new 2'x4' work bench to attach it to with a roller from HF set at the same level as the infeed table. I felt safer with this than just a stand because this is going to be used mostly outside the shop. I think the work table will be more stable setting in the yard than a small stand would be. After bolting it down to the work surface I just sat and admired it for about an hour. It looked to pretty to dirty it up with wood. Warning!!! The blades are beyond razor sharp. Use a small peice of stock to rotate the knife head as instructed. I didn't and quickly got red blotches on my beautiful yellow machine. My first project was a 24"x40" toy chest for the grandkids. Ran some cured rough cut pine through it ripped down to 6" wide peices. This is my first big planer so I didn't know what to expect. After a couple passes on each side the wood came out glass smooth and ready for stain. The planer does a fantastic job and is really much easier to use than I expected. All the gauges and instructions make this great for a novice user. It is loud and creates a lot of shavings so I was right about putting it outside rather than using it in the shop. After I get wheels on the bench I am confident I will be able to move it around by myself. I have over 1500' of rough cut pine drying out that will be planed in 8'-12' sections. I look forward to several hours of work/fun with this machine. The planer is heavy, 100 lbs by itself. It is compact but extremely stable so use on a concrete floor shop shouldn't cause you any tipping problems. The machine does all the work for you. Just insert the wood a couple inches and it takes over. Wood chips fly feet out the ejection port. Makes a really smooth finish on setting #2. I don't think I will ever need to use setting #1 for the type of things I build. I don't really know that anyone would need to use #1 unless you worked a lot with hard woods. This is a very expensive tool that does an oustanding job of cutting wood down to a smooth surface. I would highly recommend it for that purpose. Can't say enough good things about it so far.

The finish quality is outstanding - boards come out smooth and consistent with minimal snipe, especially when using the two-speed feed option. The cutterhead design, dust collection, and overall build quality feel a step above other planers in this class. Setup was simple, and the machine is surprisingly quiet for what it does. Paired with a good dust collector, chip extraction is excellent. I’ve run everything from pine to hard maple through it, and the planer handles it without bogging down. It’s not the cheapest planer, but you absolutely get what you pay for: power, precision, and reliability. If you’re looking for a serious upgrade to your shop, this is a fantastic choice.

Great Planer. Heavy, so built a stand (on wheels) to move it around in my garage. But the Planer works very well. Has 2 speed settings, and adjustable thicknes. Will also need a dust collector. The Planer has a place to connect a hose to it, but suggest running the hose to a dust collector bag. The one I bought came with 2 sets of knives, and both knives were double sided. So if they get dull, can turn them over or replace with the 2nd set of knives. Overall the Dewalt Planer is very well made and works well. Highly recommend it.

Absolute beast of a planer! Super accurate and very durable! Very easy to set up with the in feed and out feed tables just have to make sure they are level to ensure no snipe at all. Very heavy so having it in a stationary spot or on a moveable base is a good idea. Using a dust seperator like the dust deputy is also a must as this puts off wood chips and fills a 5 gallon bucket fast. The blades are easy to clean and sharpen as well. Static discharge has been my only problem so far with this planer more due to low humidity in shop. Love that this is also an upgradable planer with options like helix blade and digital gauge easily addable. Price is expensive but you’re getting quality for what you pay for and this is a one and done purchase if you need a bench planer. Handles pine to reclaimed chestnut very good!

Excellent planer with lots of power. Dust extraction is very strong so dust collection of some sort is a must. Snipe is minimal if any and finish is glass smooth. Best value is buying the pkg with the tables and extra blades.

Todo ok

Es facil de operar y tiene buena presentación y de buena calidad, aunque no he tenido oportunidad de operarla plenamente se ve fuerte y resistente para el desmpeño de trabajos ligeros y semi pesados, notengo mucha experiencia en la carpintería pero creo me va a ser muy util en los trabajos de bricolaje que desarolle. En lo que se refiere a su empaquetadura de traslado me llegó muy deteriorada y creo sé porque, saludos.

We’ve gone through a couple of no name planers from Canadian tire, and one of them were so disappointing that we actually returned it just after a week. Because of that experience, I decided to buy this Dewalt planner for my dad instead. We are a huge adult lovers in our family, and it’s the main tool brand we stick with. This planner is great reminder of why. The build quality is solid, and right out of the box you can tell it’s made to last. The four post design gives excellence stability when running a material through, which makes a big difference in overall performance. The three blades combined with the two speed options allow for a smooth, clean surface every time. It’s also very portable, which makes it perfect for taking out of the shop and bring it to different job sites when needed. Overall, this planner is wonderful and exactly what we expect from DeWalt. We highly recommend this.

Unfortunately item was damaged in transit but it looked very capable of carrying out the required task.
