DeWalt 735 Planer

I’ve had mine for several years and like it bunches and bunches. A shop built stand with in/out tables was the best thing I did to make it better.

Good machine – just be sure to take a few minutes and tweak the tables and you will be snipe free…...

-- Jeff - I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

I have one these also….great machine, but i get a lot of snipe especially on thinner material.

Jeff, how do you tweak the tables? I’ve got the wings on mine.

-- ok, is it cut once measure twice, cut twice measure once???? I know....I'll just keep cutting until it's long enough.

Make sure you connect the dust collection before you test it. Don’t ask me how I know this!

I bought one of these four or five months ago. May be my best purchase yet. Your sanding time will go from twenty minutes to just a few. If you flip the boards from end to end on each pass, you will have little to no snipe….....................

Great. Wax the tables and bed frequently.
Adjust the far edges of the infeed / outfeed tables so they are 1/16” higher than the bed of the planer. This will eliminate snipe on all bt the longest boards.
A small nylon cord with a quick clip is also helpful for rigging the dust hose out of the way.

Had mine for 5 years and no complaints. Just be sure and take the top off once in a while and sweep it out.
enjoy.

Bladedust – you loosen the allen screws on the outside of each table – take some time to get them flush with the planer bed and as pintodeluxe said, you want to adjust the far outside edge of each table just slightly higher. Use a small block and run it back and forth between each table and the bed to insure it runs smooth with no catching.

It takes a bit of adjusting and re-adjusting, but makes all the difference…....
