Sometimes, half an inch makes all the difference. But that's not the only reason to step up to the 735. Its powerful 10,000 rpm motor will handle anything you feed it--oak, walnut, exotics--with absolute ease. The three-knife cutterhead will make 96 or 179 cuts per inch, depending on which speed setting you choose. Mess is minimized with the fan-assisted chip ejection, which literally vacuums chips off the cutter-head and blows them out the exhaust. The 735's automatic carriage lock will save you from snipe by reducing the movement that causes it--what a great idea. We also love the redesigned thickness scale--it's big and super-visible, even in poor lighting. Those who do repetitive cuts will appreciate the turret depth-stop; set your most-used cuts to it once and you're always assured of accuracy. The home woodworker will be thrilled, and the professional's expectations will be more than met. This is a winner.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

 Fair planer, very low grade knives October 17, 2009
Joe W. Coleman (Grenada, MS)

I bought this planer and returned it after 1 week. Used a walnut 1 x 4 that had previously been planed and sanded just to try this planer. I knicked the blades on the first pass and continued to knick the blades on subsequent passes. I contacted Dewalt and they immediately shipped a new set of knives that I received 2 days later. Great customer service.
I replaced the knives and started to plane approx. 100 board feet of poplar. After planing about 10 to 12 board feet, the blades again were so badly knicked I stopped and got my trusty Delta 22-580 13" planer and finished the job.
I returned the Dewalt to the dealer for a full refund. Again great customer service and could be a great planer if they could only solve their knife problem.
I am a professional cabinet builder and have planed several thousand board feet of a large quanity of different species of woods from pine to hickory. This planer with the knives supplied currently is unacceptable for the highest priced portable planer on the market.
 NOW I'm happy August 27, 2009
L. R. Willis (Indianapolis, IN USA)
I bought this planer a year ago to replace my faithful but aging Delta portable. I was pleased with the ease of set-up, two-speeds, and, especially, the snipe control (snipe is essentially nonexistent with this planer). What I WASN'T happy about was that this planer could take only the shallowest cuts, and then oh so slowly, with more than occasional burning of the wood (e.g., oak or maple). This limitation troubled me so much that I considered returning the planer for a refund. Then it occurred to me that the machine was behaving as though it had dull blades, so I bought a set (not cheap, but that's grist for another mill) and replaced the factory-installed blades. I was VERY impressed by how easy the replacement was, but imagine my delight when I discovered that the planer now performed in excess of my original expectations. Shame on DeWalt for shipping that machine with dulled blades (it'd be nice if they'd send me a set), but in any case I'm now glad I bought it, and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Not for woodworking April 18, 2009

I bought this planer yesterday after work at the "Blue" home center. I was going to buy the DW734 12.5" planer, but decided this one looked better. Boy was I wrong. This planer has plenty of power and leaves a nice finish, but it snipes very, very badly, way beyond acceptable limits, and that was with a narrow, short piece of wood. They claim there is a built-in cutter head lock, but it must be a ghost. This thing snipes worse than a Ryobi without a cutter head lock. I returned it first thing this morning and bought the DW734. It is what I was looking for. With the cutter head locked, there is only 1 to 2 thousandths snipe, easy to sand off. Save yourself a bunch of money and buy the DW734. This planer, DW735, doesn't perform to the price tag. Buy the DW734.
Exceeds Expectations April 6, 2009

I bought this planer with the intention of turning rough chainsaw-milled slabs into usable stock after recent storms took down a number of large black cherry trees on my property. 300+ board feet later, the knives remain sharp and free of nicks and the surface it produces is glassy smooth. Doesn't bog down at all, even removing 1/16" per pass from 12" cherry stock. The feed mechanism works well, even on the very irregular surface produced by chainsaw milling. Chip ejection is impressive - not having a dust-collection system, it blew chips 6' straight out into an outdoor pile. Snipe was limited, even with just "eyeballed" manual support of 10' lengths.
Great machine. I'm actually looking forward to the next time storms take down some more trees!
 Decent but expensive planer February 5, 2009

I purchased a Dewalt 735 last weekend. I'm in the middle of a home building project, where I needed to plane 2500 board feet of cherry. My seven-year-old Makita burned out about half way through the project. So I decided to get a Dewalt, thinking that the dual speed would be helpful.
It turns out that I didn't even use the dual speed feature. The "rough" speed gave me a good enough finish, at about the same timing as the Makita. The blades lasted for about 1800 board feet (one side) before starting to show wear. Although others have complained about the blades, I believe they are at least as good as those sold by Makita.
The only real problem I ran into was with the feed stalling. I took off between 1/16" and 3/32" on 6- to 12-inch-wide stock. About every 200 board feet, the machine would have trouble feeding stock--even with a dust collector connected. I cleaned chips off the rollers and lubricate the bed, and it would last for about another 200 board feet. The feed rollers on the Makita would stall once in a while, but the problem is much worse on the Dewalt. The feed rollers on the Dewalt seem to be constructed of a pretty soft material, and they pick up debris while planing. Scraping the rollers (and lubricating the bed) fixes the problem, but it recurs too frequently.
But overall, the machine is good. I'll keep it. Hopefully, it lasts as long as the Makita did.
