[@jbbrown7907]

[@tooljunkie555]

Glad my video helped! Thanks for watching and commenting appreciate the support!

7 years later and I needed this. Thanks.

One thing to point out, when you put back the cover, be sure to slide it over the locking mechanism so that it is underneath the cover so the blades are able to rotate. Otherwise, if the lock is engaged the motor will not work...Thanks Joe for the great video.

[@tooljunkie555]

That is a good point to cover thank you for mentioning it I hope other people read the comments thank you for watching and commenting appreciate your continued support happy holidays to you and yours

[@miketype1each]

I'd done this years ago, but had forgotten how. Thanks for the refresher course!

[@alangottheim4654]

This has been a great resource. Thanks

[@webweyes]

Joe, just saw lines on the cherry I was planing. Did a search for how to rotate the blades on my DW734 and your video came up. Followed your procedure and the lines are gone after a couple more runs. Thank you!

[@tooljunkie555]

webweyes awesome!! thats why i do em! glad i could help! not sure if you know this but the star bit driver has magnets on the handle you can use that to take the blades out..ALOT EASIER AND SAFER.") I did not know that A viewer that commented filled me in on that. thanks for watching man appreciate your support

[@webweyes]

Joe basementwoodworking I had no idea until I went to enter the comment and saw that post on it. Thought it was a bit risky grabbing for blades :-) Next time!

[@tooljunkie555]

webweyes​ yes there's always next time.that's what I thought too..lol

[@timothycorcoran36]

Instead of risking cutting yourself use the magnets on the handle of the T wrench to extract the blade. Thanks for the video.

[@tooljunkie555]

THANKS! tbh i didnt realize there were magnets on the wrench!! WOW LOL!!

[@brianwillis9024]

I was today years old. Thanks

[@RalphTravis]

The handle end of the T wrench has built in magnets. Use those to lift out the blades. Also, apply anti-seize lubricant on the threads of the bolts holding the blades. Will make easier to remove them in the future. I speak from experience.

[@billducharme4987]

Thanks for this video it made this use planner I got work like a new one!!

[@tooljunkie555]

Glad it helped! And thanks for watching and commenting appreciate your support!happy holidays to you!

[@sumosprojects]

Good insight Joe, mines got 30 or so small blades offset over the diameter & that's a tedious chore changing them, these DeWalt thickness planers are pretty cool 😎👍

[@tooljunkie555]

is that a helical head/blade? I don't know because mine are straight but I could imagine the chore of that..lol if that is what the helical head is I don't think I'll ever get helical head blade LOL thanks for watching bro appreciate the support

[@sumosprojects]

Joe basementwoodworking going to check again mate, might do a review on it so I can remember how I did it last time lol, cheers mate 👍

[@tooljunkie555]

Sumo's Projects sounds good bro look fwd to seeing what its about.

[@pokerbob2277]

Great video. Even with the magnet idea from the comment section. Thanks

[@onetakeadventureswithjoeld4679]

I also use a mineral spirits to clean rubber wheels , ETC . and use a spray wax on the stainless steel .

[@johnbelsermusic140]

Awesome video and right to the point

[@larrygillespie1857]

Getting ready to do the same. Thx for tutorial

[@tooljunkie555]

Thanks for watching and commenting appreciate the support! Use the magnetic T-wrench to get the blades out I've learned that's ALOT easier and safer!

[@Hemidakota]

You can reverse the blades since they are still good. After both sides of the blades are thrashed, then replace the blades.

[@MrRoyHolly]

Thanks for the tutorial--really helpful. Cheers!

[@tooljunkie555]

Matthew Hill thanks matthew! sorry for the late reply just got notified of ur comment and thnks for watching and commenting bro appreciate your support

[@langrock74]

Tried it a few weeks back and couldn't crack some of the screws loose. Stripped one of the heads before giving up. Need to contact Dewalt. What a pain in the neck.

[@tooljunkie555]

That sucks. There were 2 that were way over tightened on mine.i sprayed some wd40 on them and waited 5 mins and they came loose. Hope that helps .thanks for watching and commenting appreciate the support

[@timothycorcoran36]

You're welcome. Anytime I can share safety tips I will.

[@billford9863]

[@paysonbiker]

[@zugg1271]

I have an issue with my dewalt planer the blade screws are stuck and the star wrench that they provided is cheap and stripped

[@hollyschulte5277]

Im glad you chose to show changibg the blade of the one you had already changed. Waste iof time.

[@TheTaemobig]

Thank you!

[@rossr6616]

is there a torque setting for the blade bolts?

[@tooljunkie555]

No torque setting I just hand tighten them and then try to give them an extra quarter turn afyer tightened by hand

[@rondabuckner7580]

I cannot get the screws out to rotate the blades

[@koonelos]

Thank you

[@fredb8439]

Those rings sure are pretty. And so are those fingers if you ever pull your had back on reflex and you catch one on something. I've seen it happen. Not a good idea wearing those oh so pretty rings.

[@tooljunkie555]

fred b thanks all 14k white gold .but I don't wear them while I'm working though. .. Man what a mess that musta been.. appreciate the suggestion and u watching and commenting happy holidays!🍻

[@conorchilders9149]

You know there's magnets on the torque wrench to pick up and flip the blade with

[@williamfreeh9598]

you totally left out the part about the locking lever being tucked back under the hood when you reassemble it.

[@tooljunkie555]

Thanks for noticing watching and commenting although I think it's pretty self-explanatory that you should put it back on because that's what holds the blades on and I dd show how to put it back on in the video.. I just didnt explain it which again is pretty self-explanatory but thanks for watching, commenting and noticing that. Now people will know about it .👍🏻👍🏻

[@xxGeeksGoneBadxx]

@@tooljunkie555 he is talking about the locking lever :) the thing that holds the blade assembly in place from turning when you are working on them

[@evanglading9658]

Varitech I went through same conundrum. Finally realized the tool tray keeps the blade locking mechanism depressed. 👍
