  • Feedback on Amazon and on first few uses of planer
First, a little praise for Amazon. $25.00 discount, free shipping, and free set of spare knives (didn't even know these were included.), resulted in a delivered price of [...]. That's the best deal in town, especially when you consider the free [...] knives. Now, the planer. It's heavy. Really heavy. But that's a good thing. It took only 10 minutes to set up, read the manual, and make my first sawdust. Initial results were excellent. Glass-smooth surfaces on White Oak, Poplar, and Red Oak. Minimum snipe limited to ends of board. No snipe detected elsewhere. Nice fit & finish. Decent manual. Good ergonomics. Plenty powerful. So far, highly recommended. I'll update after a few hundred board feet. UPDATE - 2 Years Later I'm still very pleased. I've put in excess of 1000 bf through the planer now. It hasn't missed a beat. Unbelieveably, I'm still on my first set of knives. They are a little nicked now due to some hard maple I put through it a few weeks ago, but I'm not yet sufficiently motivated to change them. This machine has served me well, and shows no signs of slowing down. It still ranks 5 stars. UPDATE - 1 Week since Last Update I broke down and turned the knives over. I cut myself in the process. Clumsy! A few cuts after freshening the knives made it obvious that I should have done this some time ago. The planer performs like new. Still 5 stars. Update - At 4 Years Still 5 stars. I turn or replace the knives every 6 months or so. The knives don't like Hard Maple, but all other species do fine (including Walnut & Oak). The results delivered by this planer are excellent. Update - At 6 Years Still going strong. Just added a Wixey digital readout that I got from Amazon. Still 5 stars. Update - At 12 Years Still going strong. Feed rollers started to slip, so I cleaned them with a stiff brush and alcohol. Worked like a champ. Back to 100% function. Obviously a great planer. Update - At 15 Years Seriously. 15 years. My kid is now grown and off to college. The planer still delivers. I planed some Walnut a couple days ago. Fantastic results. Clearly, I got my money worth. Would buy another in a minute should the need arise. Update - At 19 Years The planer and I have grown old together. It functions far better than I do. The only problem I’ve had is a broken tab on the dust collection fitting. That’s trivial, considering all the use this machine has had. A great product. ... show more

  • Great Purchase
Purchased this after reading many reviews on various sites. Works great. After planing the wood in very smooth and ready for final sanding. The dust collection feature was very helpful, not near the mess as with my old planner. I’d recommend it.

  • Very nice planer for DIYer and pros
This is a great product. The only issue I can come up with is the dust collection. You have to take the attachment off in order to be able to close the planer, also, periodically you need to check the dust collection are and vacuum the extra shavings. Other than this issue I 100% approve this product. DEWALT makes good quality products and I have most of the main products. If you follow this item then you can buy it when it goes down on price, usually sales price last a day or so, so buy it when it goes to sale. ... show more

  • Totally Awesome.
This is my first thickness planer and I have run approximately 10 BF through this thing. I know, it's almost all the wood in the world. THAT SAID- Out of the box, it ran beautifully and the knives are very sharp. Super smooth finish. Very easy to operate. Just spend about 5-10 minutes screwing around with it and you'll totally understand it. There definitely is 2" of snipe on either side, but as I learn how to feed the boards a little better I think that can be minimized. I bought this to speed up the process of building a new workbench to replace the hand me down monstrosity that came with my garage... I can already tell this will be a huge help. I will try to come back and update the review over time. UPDATE: After one session running about 384 linear feet of 2x4s and 320 linear feet of 2x6s (building a workbench out of Doug. Fir lumber from the big box store), I can say this is a great little machine. It doesn't seem to have any problem taking a 1/16" cut off a 6" wide board. Once you get the hang of feeding boards through it properly there is literally no snipe. It's a little more difficult with boards shorter than the beds. That will take some practice. One really annoying issue though- the dust port clogs really easily if you don't have a DC hooked up to it. After about 10 passes it seems to get clogged and it begins to shoot all the shavings out the front of the machine. I have a 1hp DC, but I don't have a separator on it yet so it gets clogged almost instantly when using the planer. ... show more

  • works wonderfully
Did a lot of research on different available planers, almost went with a DW735, but chose this one instead for my purposes.. Everything works smoothly, does a great job planing down lumber, and I have had ZERO - yes, zero - snipe - although I rarely take off more than 1/16 to 1/8 inch per pass - handles hardwoods nicely, and the size and shape are what I had wanted so I can build it into the work station space I have available.. (It was originally planned around getting a Ryobi planer of the same basic profile). It has plenty of power, blades have stayed sharp after 300 board feet of hardwood and the indicator gauges are extremely accurate - when the gauge measures 5/16", you can be sure that each board you put through is going to be exactly 5/16" all the way through. Overall I am very happy with the machine, and has served perfectly for my needs. Construction of the machine is FAR superior to the "China" models such as Ryobi or Wen, - Height adjustments are accurate and when locked down, they stay locked... (matter of fact they don't change even if I forgot to lock it down) .. so it is well worth the extra money ... show more
