Let's FIX my DW735 Planer Jam // WnW 235

[@mariozornoza6912]

helped a lot, i had the same problem.

[@henrywitecki]

in my case the fan housing was actually broken. But this helped me find the issue. THanks!

[@daleboe8912]

I’m glad I found this. I plugged mine up today and didn’t want to take it apart until I found a video to explain what I have wrong. Thank you. As Arnold would say “I’ll be back”

[@bklynkrash]

Video was a Huge help! Thank you....

[@MyGrowthRings]

Good to know. Thanks for sharing, Art. Scott

[@Wordsnwood]

Thanks for watching!

[@neilf4128]

I love that you called it a 🖨

[@Wordsnwood]

No teleprompter here, so who knows what goes through my brain...

[@hofnerbass]

Excellent video and follow up.

[@Wordsnwood]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@GilMartino]

Thanks Art for doing this, I'll try my own.

[@Sebastopolmark]

How many of the worldly problems could be solved if we only tighten up the "loose screws"! !! !!! Glad the problem was solved and I will have to keep this in mind - thanks Art

[@Wordsnwood]

No Comment. ;-)

I've been using the DW735 for about 20 years now, and one thing I've noticed is that the unit ejects chips faster than just about ANY vacuum I've hooked it to. That includes a 3 hp unit. I finally connected it to a trash can with a 4" hose and a fabric shroud (DeWalt sells the complete kit), and it works like a champ. I know that ANY restriction in outflow will cause sawdust leakage from the blower/shroud. Other than using silicon or taping the connection, there's not a whole lot you can do. I don't think that the bend you put in the hose really had an effect on the planer, since I've been using the same bend on my unit.

[@Wordsnwood]

Check out John Heisz's latest video as that is pretty much what he does (dedicated trash can). In my layout I don't think it would save me any floorspace so...

[@alyssakeller7720]

Holy cow! I have been racking my brain trying similar solutions you mentioned in the video.... if I go tighten those two screws and the problem stops.... well..... I’m not sure if I will be happy or irritated that the fix was right there and sooooo simple! It’s so frustrating to have to vacuum it out in between every run...Thanks for the video!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Fun stuff. Diagnosing. Glad it wasn’t a crack and you ended up dealing with ordering a new part. The motor is spinning fast and vibrating the hell out of it. The fan blades on the back are for the motor itself. No doubt the blower side produces more than enough force to open that plastic a hair. Cheers

[@Wordsnwood]

A ten year old tool might need adjusting... go figure! 😁

[@Mark_L]

Just to add, my fan assembly was broken so no chips getting to my dust collector. I removed the broken fan, put it back together. Now I just have my dust collector connected and it works better than ever.

[@thedavelam]

Thanks for this! Also not sure if this is a factor cause I’m a year late to this video - you’re not supposed to run a dust collector with the blower active as well.

[@Wordsnwood]

News to me... is that in the manual? There's no way to run this WITHOUT the blower active...

[@thedavelam]

@@Wordsnwood blower is alwasy active, just a separate dust collector cant handle the blower power.

[@jamespolucha8790]

This is exactly what mine is doing, I didn’t jam my switch so couldn’t run it with the top off but I’ll try to clean it like you did, thanks for the video

[@jamesfrench8004]

Art< I had the same problem, the fan shroud had a crack & hole where I couldn't see. Replaced the shroud and fan and solved 95% of the chip problems

[@Wordsnwood]

It was good to solve!

[@cowboyssawmillandwoodlot6343]

Hi. I have the exact same issue. The blower screws I did tighten. Made no difference. Any ideas?

[@Wordsnwood]

Sorry, I was just figuring things out as I went. I'd take it out and reseat things, and see if there is any other way to make sure it was sealed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@bobt2522]

I'm glad it seems to have a simple solution. The leak is probably aggrevated by the bend in the hose increasing the pressure at the chip blower. I'll watch for that because I have two 90 degree elbows on the dust port on my planer and I don't plan to change that. The chips go straight down next to the outfeed table.

[@dmayfam2]

Have you ever gone to replace the brushes and they were stuck. My planer tripped the breaker and sparks were coming out of the brushes. Went to replace them and they were so stuck I had to break them to get them out.

[@Wordsnwood]

not yet...

[@brentfowler2317]

That's awesome man. I'm glad you figured it out. And that's crazy those two little screws where the problem. It was night and day difference between last time and this time.. well done friend. Keep up the awesome work.

[@Wordsnwood]

I was amazed.

[@job38four10]

You definitely have the wrong tidal on this video, should be called (....sawdust leak fix) I'm on my 3rd DW735 planer in 10 years. I'd buy a different brand but Dewalt is the only planer under $1000.00 that has it's own sawdust blower, I to have elbow right off my planer with flexible hose. Good video.

[@Wordsnwood]

Third!? wow, you're not having a long life out of them.

[@jbb5470]

Thank you for showing the rest of the repair. Good to know and be aware of!

[@Wordsnwood]

You bet

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Thanks for revisiting this. Looks like you found the problem

[@Wordsnwood]

Glad I did it!

[@KSFWG]

You gotta love the easy fixes !! Glad it's working normally now ! Printer? Yup, you're an IT guy for sure !! LOL

[@Wordsnwood]

Sometimes when I review the footage later and I hear what comes out of my mouth.... 😁

[@paulrodriguez5830]

I just got my planner and the rollers spun for one pass and stopped. They will not roll anymore. Any ideas?????

[@Wordsnwood]

take it back. could be a broken drive belt

[@patrickkerr329]

Love the song at the end. Sounds a lot like “plea from a cat named virtue” by the weakerthans! One of my favorite Canadian bands.

[@Wordsnwood]

"Upsetter" from the KZbin Audio Library.

[@andrewzanto8591]

Thanks Art, suffered from the same thing. Hopefully it's the same easy fix on mine.

[@Wordsnwood]

Fingers crossed!

[@artdecco8617]

Seems like this Planer needs RE Designed..........I keep reading about so many issues/ problems......Mine is brand new,,,,,and already will not crank up or down. I really can't afford ALL this down time..........Is there a better Planer built ???

[@richbreed3462]

How did you get those clips loose

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

I have mine for 10 years , two years without running and when I turned it on it last half hour and died on me.......

[@Kkuts37]

Nice problem solving! This seems to be a common problem these days, a couple loose screws! :)

[@Wordsnwood]

Ouch, that hurts... 😁

[@mikerichards6311]

😳🤔👍👏🏻

[@lovelessk999]

Fox couldn’t compete with Disney afternoon. That’s why fox lost viewership on Goosebumps in the 90s. It was competing with better shows. You thinking people didn’t know what demographics were or what they were worth is just silly was based on your age. You missed the real 80s or you’d never make that statement without laughing at the myopic nature of it.

[@Wordsnwood]

I most definitely lived through the 80s, but I think you possibly dropped your comment on the wrong video... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
