Accuhead makes a Model M1304902A to fit the Dewalt DW 735. My neighbor and I put one in his machine and since we had never tried it before it took us a little over an hour. If you take your time it’s really not that difficult but a good memory helps. He loves it and it runs quieter and leaves a great finish in mahagony, maple and oak and he’s able to take heavier cuts without slowing the planer down by putting it under a heavy load it can’t handle. They had some test that showed the amp draw was a lot lower which translate to less energy used. All of the cutterheads for 13’’ planers retail for $250 and you can order them through any Steel City Dealer. They have cutterheads to fit Ridgid, Delta, Ryobi, & Dewalt

Hmm, a Byrd head for my 735 has long been on my wishlist to cut down on noise and tearout, but at $400+ I don’t take the plunge. At $250 I might be willing to, especially if cut quality is reasonably similar.

I asked them if they make ‘em for my machine and all they said was no.
Apparently they’ve got no plans to do so.
