Speed adjustment on the dewalt planer doesn’t change the speed of the cutter head/knives. It changes the feed rate of your material. Love that planer!

[@gnic76]

I like my Bosch routers and 12v drill/drivers, Makita sliding compound miter with front side slide rails, takes up less room when against a wall.

[@CherrieMcKenzie]

I bought my Dewalt planer 3 years ago and have NEVER regretted my decision. This bad boy does it all and they even sent me an extra set of knives.. Yes it's heavy but I put mine on a cart with locking rollers. I move it around and then lock it in place. I can always depend on getting an excellent result with this planer.

[@GaryGiffin49]

I have a General helico planer, 10 years old love it. Parts are hard to find now in Canada

[@pauljoseph8338]

I’ve had this planer (with the Shelix head) since 2012…I can confirm that this is the best bang for buck planer ever invented. Get it. Nothing else comes close.

[@Ferrous_Bueller]

I thought the same until I bought the Harvey benchtop

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

As usual, you’re right on target w/ your picks. My favorite Dewalt tool is the MBF Radial Arm Saw. Even though mine is almost 70 years old, it still works as it should, and is super accurate; additionally, you can still find parts, accessories & upgrades for it. My understanding is that this is the tool that put Dewalt on the pro tools map.

[@gwall1789]

I have everything in the video except the track saw and I’m not a woodworker. Lol Love me some DeWalt.

[@KirkStalker]

You said for the Dewalt thickness planer that it has two speeds, that part is true but you said it spins the head at two different speeds for a course and fine cut that part is wrong. It changes the speed of the in feed and out feed rollers. The rollers turn slower to create more cuts per inch, and faster for a course or cut but will get you to the final dimension quicker

[@donadams772]

I own 3 of those and totally agree. I would add the biscuit joiner to the list. It just works and seems like almost everyone else has got out of making them.

[@90FormulaE8]

So i just ordered the 735x after i saw your deal alert. Just happened to the have the money for the head as well. The only thing I am doing a little different is the DRO. I like the wixey DRO vice the igauging. The wixey uses AAA and the display is easier to see due to the angle. Pretty excited to get it set up and put it to work. My shop is only 160 sqft so space is not something I have much of.

[@1steelcobra]

There's also the DNP612 plunge base that fits both the corded and cordless versions of the trim routers, so if you're a limited space setup for small projects you can squeeze even more functionality out of just a cordless trim router. They also just launched a new 2-1/4 HP cordless dedicated plunge router you should check out. My Dad has the version of the miter saw with the shadow line, it's fantastic, perfect projection of the blade kerf even in bright sunlight with no calibration needed, so it's better than laser-based systems.

[@Charlie-dm5ug]

Added the Selix head, and improved everything about an already good tool. Glass-like finish. Decreased motor laboring to almost nothing (with a reasonable depth of cut), decreased sound significantly, eliminated snipe.

[@STXBARNES-fi7ho]

This is a very solid list Matt. The only way that this gets nip picked is by a color loyal tool enthusiast. The mitre saw is arguably the most commonly used saw on job sites. Both by framers as well as finish carpenters. I will say though the DWS 780 has a lot of additional crown molding settings. I’ll throw another awesome tool into the mix here. The DCF601 brushless 12v screwdriver. This thing is awesome and I think the only one even close to this one is Bosch’s version of this. God bless brother.

[@grannydeen1586]

I have been a woodworker/trim guy/Formica guy for many years so most of my tools are old as well. I do have a Dewalt planer but it's the old 733 2 knife model. It still works great and with sharp knives planes really nice. I have an old plunge router, too. Excellent router. My job site slide miter saw is a Hitachi 8 1/2" but have used the Dewalt 12" for years. It's probably the most accurate saw I have had my hands on. That table saw is super accurate, too. As for cordless...mine is all Makita but if it wasn't I would go with Dewalt. Great review!

[@MMMS75]

I love my dewalt lunchbox planer. Can't say I ever use the lower cuts/inch setting. I just use the higher setting all the time and take shallower passes. I have an entry level 2 stage dust collection setup with the Dust Deputy over a bucket, and that running to a Rigid 16 gallon shop vac. Was the highest CFM ~190 shop vac I could find, but I found the planer pushes near ~600 CFM and overwhelms the shop vac knocking the punger ball up from inside. Had to setup a different dust collection setup to handle that. lol

[@sociopathmercenary]

Hell ... If it's pushing that much CFM, do you even need a vacuum?

[@MMMS75]

@@sociopathmercenary exactly. I disconnect the vacuum when I use the planer and made a simple box with a large HVAC filter on the top to exhaust the air and catch smaller particulates from getting up in the air. The planer blower pushes a ton of air, surprised me how much it moves. My shop is in my basement and not a garage, so I’m more limited on ventilation and have had to plan more for dust collection.

[@e.t.preppin7084]

The manual explains how not to use a shop vac and why. I like your solution. I’ll be incorporating it myself.

[@thomasjarvis3608]

I bought the right angle attachment ages ago when i fit lockers into vans, now literally everyone in the workshop has bought one they're an absolute game changer

[@dadtrap]

You missed a bonus pick. The DeWalt 4 1/2” circular saw. For cutting sheet goods it is awesome and compared to a regular circular saw it is great and 1/3 of the weight.

[@stevestormssr5492]

I sold my contractors saw and bought the DWE7491 10" and love it. I also bought the corded compact router and haven't used my larger Porter cable since!

[@ivanradas6044]

The dewalt wet saw (top of the line one) is one of the best pieces of art still going 20 years strong you can find them at a bunch of construction sites. I have a dewalt planer and table saw as well but was most impressed by that wet saw, I don’t think there’s anything like it on the market for tile work

[@texacajundiy]

yup. I'm a redman (and harbor freight), BUT I have BOTH the yellow planer(with shelix) and the corded dewalt router. I have burned a couple belts on the planer planing penetrating epoxied dry rotted wood. belts are easy to change.

[@cottreda]

Yes, the planer is by far the best tool Dewalt makes. The two “speeds” do not change the blade speed, it changes the feed speed. And the helical head is an absolute must have. Total game changer. You can plane end grain. I’ll say it again. End grain, baby.

[@d.k.1394]

Agree

[@kwilliams2239]

I bought a drum sander for that job (and I hate sanding). I have a helical head for mine but haven't installed it yet. Dunno why. Just haven't gotten a round tuit.

[@xHexor77x]

Could you take a look at the newish grizzly 12inch Jointer/Planer Combo? It comes with a helical head from the factory, and I think could compete with the dewalt

[@NathanTalbertWoodworking]

Another important note for the table saw: the 8 1/4 cannot accept a full dado stack. I'm pretty sure the 10 inch version can. You can use part of a dado stack on the smaller version, but I didn't feel comfortable using more than 3/8 or 1/2 inch at the most. I used a 6 inch freud stack. I just recently upgraded my miter saw and the 780 was on sale so I grabbed it. The shadow line seemed like a gimmicky thing, but I use it all the time and don't think I could live without it. no more dropping the blade down and butting up the board. The line shows me exactly where it will cut way more easily.

[@gregblake2764]

Having been a furniture maker for 55 years all I can say is it's a mistake to get a tablesaw that doesn't use at least a 10 inch blade. While it costs more go with the Dewalt DWE7491 10" jobsite tablesaw. I bought one this summer for a satellite shop. It has plenty of power and is a very accurate saw plus it accepts a dado stack.

[@ricksrealpitbbq]

I was surprised that I own everything you featured except the right angle driver. Definitely recommend the shelix head upgrade for the planer. It’s worth every penny.

[@Terrythemaker]

Such a shame we can’t buy that planner in the UK

[@TimRoyalPastortim]

I believe that the Dewalt router is based on the old ELU, I have one... fantastic router.

[@DKWalser]

This is an excellent list. My only disagreement is with the recommendation of the DeWalt 8.25" table saw. The DeWalt saw is a good choice, but the Metabl HPT 10" table saw is a much better saw for only a little more money. Both saws have the same kind of rack and pinion fence, but the Metabo has a much wider rip capacity. Also, with its 10" blade, the Metabo has a greater depth of cut. More importantly, the Metabo has a larger fence AND built-in outfeed support. The larger table and outfeed support make it easier and safer to cut larger or longer materials on the saw. Again, the DeWalt isn't a bad saw. The Metabl HPT is just a better option.

[@cottrelr]

In the other direction, the Skil 10" table saw is almost as good as the DeWalt 10", but costs less than the DeWalt 8.25". And it has the same rack and pinion fence.

[@michaelshelnutt3534]

Also don’t forget the Metabo has soft start and ebrake. Plus it can handle a dado blade. Only negative is you can’t remove the riving knife when using a dado. - I have the Metabo job site saw.

[@pattyofurniture100]

Dewalt also makes the best most versatile line of cordless tools. I could probably start a whole channel just reviewing what i have in the garage 😂 the 5 and 6 ah batteries really make them shine when running them all day.

[@BNSF39]

I agree with every tool except the miter saw and plunge router combo. You may want to check out Skil's 10inch miter saw and oh yea its clamp down isnt janky.

[@a.a.alexander6030]

Hey, about 1 min 36 sec into the video you had the planer on a workshop cart/table on casters wheeling in in from the drive into the garage. Did you build it or buy it? Where can I get one?

[@WarER4X]

1. Totally agree; great planer. The "gold standard" of benchtop planers, as far as I'm concerned. 2. I have both the corded full size and palm size router (also corded; with a fixed and plunge base) from Dewalt. I love both of them. They came with great accessories, are very easy to adjust, and easy to swap between the fixed and plunge base. Both sizes are more than powerful enough to do everything I want and the soft start makes them easy to use freehand. 3. Dewalt's cordless drill and driver are perfectly fine, but I don't think I would've picked these as their "Top 5" because they aren't really a special or better offering than a number of competitors, in my opinion. (full disclosure, I'm a Milwaukee guy when it comes to cordless tools; I just think their motor and battery tech sets them apart from the competition). 4. That table saw is in a portability/accuracy/feature/cost class of its own and is a great offering from Dewalt. Good choice. 5. I have the 780 with the shadow line. I agree that I wouldn't buy the 780 if I already had the 779, but for anyone trying to choose between the two, the shadow line is definitely worth having, in my opinion. My 780 miter saw is the only reason I've never bothered to build a crosscut sled for my table saw yet. I've just never needed one so far because my 780 miter saw is so flipping accurate! The only thing that I wish was different about it is the space it requires. With the more "traditional" sliding rails, it takes up A LOT of space sticking out from the wall in my shop. If I were to do it over again, I might consider the Bosch with those fancy "elbows" that let you put it right against the wall. Still, if feels like the Bosch is a hair for flexy than my Dewalt, so might be just a tiny bit less accurate. I have the space, so I'm keeping my Dewalt 780! 🙂 The right-angle drive should have supplanted the drill/driver in the top 5, I think. Dewalt isn't the only company that makes something like that, but I think most folks agree that they make the best one.

[@douglingle1600]

I have the Dewalt planer, lhad for a long time love it. I remember watching the video when you got your. Didn't your dad buy it for you. Great video Mst!

[@ItsCybert]

Can you do a video, (or link if you already have). A video on how to use a planner correctly. I set mine to let’s say 3/4” on a 1” (just an example) and run on both sides but by the second side it takes nothing off to flatten it. Wondering what I’m doing wrong.

[@jimrosson6702]

Great video as always Matt. Hope to someday upgrade my planer with the Shelix head . As always Thanks for sharing

[@msk3905]

I'm on the fence with the planer, I am DIY and use it few times a year but I cannot for the life of me operate it with no snipe unless I use a sacrificial board that makes the thickness gauge useless. I also have an issue with boards not moving through it sometimes, it starts out fine but as I use it I've been noticing it has issues with this. I can't tell if sawdust builds up causing slippage or what is going on, if anyone knows please let me know! It is built solid but for me I probably should have saved some money and bought a lower priced different one.

[@sinsofvorador]

I love my dw736. But the speed setting only changes the speed of the feed rollers. Not the blades. Anyways. I can't wait to change out the cutter head to the byrds.

[@osmundwestre7172]

Hi . on the DeWALT DW735X how does it perform with regards to snipe?

[@NathanTalbertWoodworking]

I love my dw735. I've never really used anything else to personally compare it to. Based on reccomendations online, I spent the extra money to go for the best bench top planer available, and don't regret that decision for a moment. I haven't upgraded the cutters (yet). The cutters still function very nice and I have a spare set that came with it. Once those are used up, then I'll order the shelix cutter.

[@NathanTalbertWoodworking]

The DW7440RS table saw stand is amazing for this planer too. It took a few extra minutes to get it attached properly, but all I did was follow a youtube video and it worked perfectly. Just wheel the planer around and set it up wherever I want. Its so much easier than trying to lug that thing around. The stand has big enough wheels it goes right up and over any doorway so far.

[@chapbix12158]

Bought one new in 2011. Really like it!

[@ppdan]

For cordless drills I prefer Bosch. The 12V range gets most job done (nearly have the whole range). I only have one 18V drill and barely use it while having the whole 12V range and use those everytime.

[@jacoblynch9862]

My father-in-law is a huge DeWalt man because 3035 years ago he worked for a pallet shop and I saw they used was a DeWalt. He said they would run that eight hours a day five days a week once it got plugged in they never turned it off because they were constantly cutting. With the length he said about every two years they would have to replace the brushes in it, they replace the brushes plug it back in another roughly 2 years. He said nothing other than having to replace those brushes ever failed on that saw that’s why he’s a DeWalt guy.

[@nyfan75]

Newer versions of the DW779 have lost most of those features now to separate the 2 models more. I was lucky to get mine when I did as it still has all the features of the 780 except the shadow line. Which you can order 3rd party for like $65

[@NS-YT1]

Do you have a link for the DeWALT DW735X with Pre-installed Shelix? The item is listed in the video description, but there’s no link posted after its name. Thanks! Also, big thanks from a long-time viewer/subscriber, all the SUPER helpful videos you post, including about tools, techniques, safety issues, tool deals (!!!), etc.….all GREAT content (and you do incredibly very frequent uploads too!!)…you’ve definitely saved me lots of time and lots of money…especially when I was a newer woodworker, but even now, I watch everything you post and it’s very much appreciated!!

[@sociopathmercenary]

When he posted it before, it was about the same price for the pre-installed cutting head as buying the standard planer and the head separately. I would rather install my own head and have the extra straight cutter as a backup.

From in the early 90s til 2019 i was part of then running a construction crew. From building and finishing residential homes to steel cattle buildings that cover more than 5 acres. From the old 14.4v stick batteries to the newest at the time 60v big boy toys. Tablesaws, SDS hammer drills, laser levels, wormdrive saws, miter saws for trim. Impact wrenches and drivers. Saw blades and drill bits. I wouldnt be surprised if 80% or more of the power tools we used were Dewalt. We tried other cordless tools but never found anything that was so much better we had to switch. Quite often it was disappointing. Or the warranties didnt favor contractor use as most places didnt carry even prosumer models let alone a contractor grade. For over 20 years the backbone of our "fleet" has been Dewalt, and is what i get for my own use. I have yet to be dissuaded.

Have the planer. Bought from Northern tool 2015. It never was aligned properly till I retired in 2020. Cranked extremely hard. Aligning the height adjustment is not for the faint of heart. I was however successful. It is a nice planer..I'll give you that.

[@BobBob-eh5sb]

Mine cranked hard when I first got it. Not the whole way, but at a certain point and it wasn’t great anywhere. Wasn’t sure what to do other than try to lube it. It helped a bit and over time it has gotten a lot better. Still has some spots where it binds a bit, but nothing like it was. Thought it might have been roughed up during shipping but wasn’t any signs of it. Thought about alignment, but other than taking the chain off and trying to figure out which screw or screws was off, but thought I’d just live with it.

[@Dan-ol2rd]

I am jumping in here to see if anyone can help, I purchased this planer new and have used it only about a dozen times. I went to use it recently and it will not raise beyond about an inch and a half. I noticed that when I do turn it that small amount the post diagonally across from the wheel is turning, all four posts should be stationary, shouldn’t they? DeWalt customer support has been less than helpful, but that’s another long story. Have any of you experienced this? Any ideas on how I might fix it? Thanks, Dan

[@johnmclain6535]

I have both the jobsite table saw and the dw735 planer. My complaint on the planer is the chips fly out the front even with a 1HP dust collector hooked up and the planer itself is about 100lbs which makes it a bit harder to move around the shop if you don’t have a mobile cart with locking casters. My only complaint on the table saw is that there is no factory protection throat plate for a dado stack and even if you make one yourself, the arbor won’t accept a stack more than 3/8” thickness. All that said, I love both tools and have no intention of replacing them. Eventually I would like to have a full sized cabinet saw but even if I had the shop space to support one, I’d still keep the DW7845 8.25” jobsite table saw

The DWS780 is TOTALLY worth the extra money. You haven't tried it if you don't agree. The light system blows away any laser system I've ever tried. And you don't have either on the one you have. It saves so much time aligning for cuts, and it's 100% accurate with lines on both sides of the blade.

Fantastic video, Matt. Thanks for your take on the Dewalt tools. I agree they're good. I haven't tried some brands, so I don't know if they're the best, but I do trust your opinion. Have a great weekend, too! 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

Apparently the DeWalt 735x is discontinued - ion the UK at least.

1:04. Not ballscrews. Love the planer. Have owned one since 2008

[@ashkal2565]

you don't have bosch pro in the US or what

[@soul146]

Dewalt need to bring the thicknesser to UK/EU, they've been out years and still not available here

[@swc5320]

Soooo, I keep seeing others doing videos on ( HF's Hercules power tools) and it seems like they're not too bad... but they DO come from HF so could we get you to do some hercules reviews soon?

[@АлтынбекДюсембаев-л5ь]

This dewalt planer is it still italian planer?

[@davepoidvin2364]

It is a coincidence that you think the Dewalt portable table top saw is one of their best tools. I bought one but a few weeks ago and found the top to be convex. Getting a new one from Dewalt tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if this table is flat.

My ridgid drill has a light ring on the head instead of the base it is a little nicer.

[@chrisdaniel1339]

After seeing your review and comparison of the i-Gauging square vs the Woodpeckers I read the Amazon reviews lots of reviewers said they were not square and proved it, some noted that the base is glued on and separated on them, not what I would expect in a precision tool. In the future I will not be putting much stock in your reviews of products.

I have a lot of older DeWalt 18 volt tools. The batteries died, and I'm not spending the rather substantial price to replace them. There is no way to affordably adapt the newer style battery to my perfectly good tools. Replacement seems to be the only option. Which kind of made me angry. So I switched to Milwaukee. Haven't had them long enough to compare on longevity, but I like the ones I've got and will not go back. I do agree that DeWalt desk top planers are great, but I bought my old Delta two speed 13" planer before the DeWalt came out. If the DeWalt had been in production when I bought mine, I would have bought it. The Delta still works just fine, so I'll keep using it. The degree of improvement of the DeWalt over the Delta is just not enough to make a switch. I will be putting a helical cutter head on it soon though.

😫 but not in europe this planer was on my wish list but i cant get this type dewalt in holland only other models and these are far from the same

[@MatejKrhin]

Exactly, all they need to do is a different winding of the electric motor.

I have a lot of regard for DeWalt tools. While the quality might not always be as good as Milwaukee's, they usually nail it with design. So, I do have a number of their tools in my shop. However...I recently came to the conclusion that I needed a benchtop planer for my little shop. Everybody on KZbin was extolling the virtues of the DW735, and I got a huge case of the "I wants." But, I'm 81, I'm cheap, and I work hard at distinguishing between "I wants" and "I needs." Most of my recent tools have come from my local Habitat store, and I've had fun repairing and upgrading them...and they now serve me well. Even my 1950's 12" Craftsman band saw does everything I need it to do, and I only spent $40 on it at Habitat. I put ball bearing guides and new rubbers on it, so I'm into it for about $95 now. Anyway, back to the planer issue. There were 3 things that bothered me about the DW735. First, even at the discounted (veteran's discount) Home Depot price, it would cost me about $660. Ouch. Then I noticed all the sort of fancy bells and whistles the tool has. I'm allergic to things like that in phones, cars, computers...well, you get the picture. Finally, that damn thing weighs 96 lbs. I've already had 2 back surgeries...can't say I want another one. THEN...2 days ago I spotted a Delta 22-540 at Habitat. The poor thing was splattered with paint, dirty and likely hadn't been serviced since it was built in 1993. But I plugged it in and it sounded great. $133 later, it had a new home. I serviced it per the manual, ordered new blades and blade installation guide, and already ran a bunch of stock through it. Works like a charm, and I can actually pick it up from under the table where I store it without rupturing anything. So, what's my point? Think hard about wants versus needs before you jump. The $527 I saved will buy a lot of tools at Habitat. Just sayin'

[@jbman1983]

I was disappointed in the 90 degree drill adapter, it was a little difficult to use and I am not a fan of the way it spun so freely without holding it. I'm guessing I need more practice with it, I just normally try to building things were that tool isn't needed.

[@michil75]

What about Makita ?

[@MichaelSmith-hu9vx]

If you like the dewalt atomic impact in your video you should pick up the newer model. It’s even better with a more compact head design and it has become the go-to impact in my shop. You can fit it in very cramped spaces and it’s surprisingly powerful!

I love my DCF850, compact but mighty.
