Dewalt 735 Planer | Unboxing & Setup

[@jmains]

So I used my infeed/outfeed tables as-is out of the box for a while & got great results...the further out ends wer in fact angled up slightly but that actually prevented snipe. I’ve since leveled the whole thing out and have to deal with snipe pretty consistently. :(

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

I noticed the same thing! Especially when working with heavier work pieces. I ended up going back and providing a small upward angle, like you mentioned, to help remove snipe and it works like a charm. Lesson learned, unless safety is an issue, try it out of the box before making adjustments.

[@MarciaCristina-vk3qr]

We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives kzbin.infoUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

For anyone wondering what adapters I have on the chip port, I have a 2.5” coupler to a 2.5” 90° elbow to a 2.5-2.25” tool attachment. I used Rockler Dust Right brand but the following Powertech attachments should work as well with the one exception of needing a second coupler at the outlet because I couldn’t find a tool attachment reducer combo.

[@thenext9537]

The tables are a pain. Best to build an in feed and out feed table that's perfectly level and flat. Start on the smallest cut, which I think is like 1/64 or 1/32. I've noticed too that if you look at the grain and try to line it up it helps too. I put lumber in at an angle sometimes to figure out what gets the best results. Depends on the species too. Walnut for example seems to take it however it wants, but oak or pine seem more prone to tear out.

[@KuponoMcDaniel]

Love this easy vid that covers so much quickly and clearly. I wonder if there was much dust that came out of the collector? It looks like it was clean, but I wonder if it captured the fine dust as well or just the big chips? I know it's been a few years so you may not monitor this one. Thanks again.

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Glad you like the style! Your question is a good one. I've been really impressed with how much the dust deputy pulls out of the air. Honestly, it seems like it captures just about everything, certainly more than the rest of the dust I generate.

Where do I buy a 2 and 1/2” 90 degree elbow and rubber sleeves (connectors) ? My dust collection system is also 2 and 1/2”. Lowes and Home Depot don’t have that size. I have made my own connections using 4” and reducers, but it is not as clean as the on in the video on how to use and adjust my DeWalt 735 planer.

[@bigdaddysrq]

I always enjoy your presentations. Clearly explained with lots of great insight. I recently purchased this planer and finally set it up. My question is more around dealing with the chips and how you managed them coming out of the machine. Fairly new to woodworking (you help me last year on a Christmas project with the valets - everyone loved them by the way) and I wanted to see if hooking up a 4" dust collector hose to feed into a 5 gallon bucket would be an option. I can see from the sheer volume of chips coming out that I would have to do something to keep the bucket from being blown over. Any thoughts? I do all of my work out on the back porch. I'll be building a wood shop over the summer so for now I'm looking for the cheapest/safest way to handle the wood chips. Thank you very much!

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Hey Jim! I'm glad the trays were a hit! :D For chip collection it's actually pretty easy but you're right, there are a ton so if you have anything small, it'll fill up fast. For a long time, I used a 2.5" hose connected to a dust deputy (cyclone), which fed into a barrel. The blower is strong enough that the cyclone filters everything out without needing a shop vac. Links to that entire hookup can be found below. It's the same one I used in this video. Now-a-day's I have a full dust collection system that uses 4" hose throughout which was an easy swap. If you have any questions about the setup, don't hesitate to let me know! Coupler, 2.5": amzn.to/3mqT1Pe Elbow, 90deg: amzn.to/35Et5c9 Reducer, 2.5"-2.25": amzn.to/3e4lrvq Dust Deputy: amzn.to/3jBu6H0 Hose, 2.5”: amzn.to/37MqhMN Hose, 2.5” Adapters: amzn.to/2HJGO9z Blue Barrel: amzn.to/2HDpGlI All that being said, there are a ton of shops that just let their machine eject their chips, especially if they're in an outdoor space. If you through a 90deg bend on it and pointed it down at a 45 towards the ground, you'd probably be fine.

Is there a noticeable noise difference when shifting speeds? Just wanted to ask just in case the shifting ever fails

No noise difference that I can tell, though I haven’t measured sound levels. Largest noise factor is the depth of cut. Deeper cuts are much louder than fine passes.

The only thing I'm pissed about is the 735 don't come with the infeed and outfeed tables. You have to buy separately. And I did not know that when ordering. I guess the 735x comes with the tables and extra blades. That's b.s. Same exact machine but just add and x to charge more for adding 2 asserories

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Can’t tell if you’re being facetious or not 😂 it’s a good one if it is. But just in case, the switch on the left is for fast vs slow planing speed (1=Slow, 2=Fast) and the wheel on the right is for thickness control 😊

[@SwapnilBhartiya]

@@NorthwestCraftsman Apologies for being rude, but if your title says 'set-up' you 'should' explain all core capabilities. I had to watch a couple of ther videos to learn that the knob of left is meat to set the max depth - the blade will NOT go below that depth. Sorry.

[@bijan4727]

Hi very nice presentation. I have a 13 inch dewalt thickness planer. Let’s say I have three pieces of 2X4 and each one them is 2-7/16 , 2-3/8, and 2-5/16 how do I make all three of them being 2-5/16 without manually measuring them. I appreciate your input. Thanks

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Hey! Not a problem, that's a great question. I was actually doing something similar in my shop tonight. If you don't have to be exactly 2-5/16 but can be a hair shy, I'd put that first piece up to the mouth and lower it down until you just barely see the gauge move. Run it through the planer and you should hear barely any material being removed. If you didn't hear anything, move it down a hair and run it again. Once you have this height set, run the rest through; it shouldn't have any issues taking off that amount on 2x4's. I have it now as a standard practice when dimensioning to finish all my parts that need to be the same thickness with one final pass to ensure all of them are exactly the same thickness. Also, if you need both sides to be planed to create a nice face, you'll repeat this on the back for all of your pieces. This second pass should be the same amount of removal for each piece since you made them all the same thickness in the first step. Good luck! Josh Northwest Craftsman

[@bijan4727]

@@NorthwestCraftsman hi thanks for the quick response. That is an excellent idea.

[@madpainter7114]

You will get less snipe if you position the grain heading down into the bed. The other side would be done on a jointer.

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

From a logistical perspective, does this then limit your workpiece to the width of your jointer?

[@Don-cs7fe]

If you’re going to use a jointer you should run it through jointer first, jointing one face & one edge square to it then run it through planer to plane opposite face. I only have a 6 inch jointer so wider wood needs to be faced on planer with a planer sled & leveling wedges then taken to jointer to square up one edge in preparation for table or track saw.

[@johnregan9644]

If you want to mount the planer to the bench with bolts or screws, how do you do it? The body of the planer is in the way preventing one from drilling holes or inserting bolts/screws or using a wrench/screw driver.

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Great question! When I mounted mine to the Dewalt mobile table, it already had the holes drilled but to do that I’d raise it all the way up, mark it, drill with the planer out of the way. Once there you should be able to fit some bolts, nuts, and washers in to secure it.

[@palsh]

Thanks for this video, I always get psyched out when getting a new tool at first and this was just enough to make myself comfortable with the initial set up. Just was wondering if you had your vacuum running for the dust collection in the video or was that just the planer spitting it out?

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Great question! And I totally get that feeling. On my end, I usually read through the manual front to back to make sure I have a good understanding of what's going on and the vast majority of my tool unboxing videos are just walking through the manual. For the dust collection, that's the planer by itself! It has a powerful blower, in fact, in my new shop it's more powerful than my dust collector can even keep up with so I puff dust out of any loose spots in my system when I have it running 😂 In this video, I just had it hooked up to the cyclone to filter out the parts and spit clean air back into the room.

[@hcamardelle]

I had my 735 for 3 days. Took it back. Worst snipe I've ever had on a planer, and I've been using shop planers since my first one (Makita 10" ) back in 1980, regardless how I fed the material. This machine also ate blades. Less than 10 minutes planing clean pine 2x8's and the blades were rendered unusable and that was while taking less than 1/16" on a pass, about 1/2 turn on the handle. Switch is in a terrible location, nothing to keep a board from hitting it and turning the machine off when sliding a board across the top and positioning it to refeed it. Then there is the chip exiting the machine at 200+ mph. There needs to be a way to disconnect the blower to be able to just have the chips drop into a receptacle. And lastly, as if this wasn't enough, the power cord is on the wrong side of the machine, creating a tripping hazard unless you do some magical rerouting. Back to using my 25 year old Ryobi AP13 which still performs remarkedly well after a million miles of use.

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Man! I’m sorry to hear you had such a rough go at it. I hear you on the chip blower as well. It really does need to be hooked up to collection. Hopefully your old one suits your needs well enough for your work.

[@AssafOppenheimer]

Hey, I followed your advice on ordering the the parts for the dust collector (it was very helpful). I do think that the reducer (Reducer, 2.5"-2.25) was not necessary to buy, and was not shown in your demo. If I'm wrong lent me know, but if not you might want to remove it from the list. for me using your list it was an unnecessary expenditure. overall though thank you. I really appreciate your help (I had to order internationally so I wasn't sure what I would need)

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Glad you found it helpful! You're right that the reducer may not be needed depending on what you have attached. For this video I only had a test hose to run it to my cyclone but I've since added the following hose and love it. With the new setup, the 2-1/4" adapter allows me to plug my 2.5" hose into it. I'll update the list with the parts, thanks for the heads up! I always take for granted how easy we have it in the States with Amazon and 2 day free shipping.

[@MrLegendL2118]

So since I only have a shop vac, do I turn the shop vac on when using it, or no?

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

If you don’t have a dust deputy/collector set up I would turn it on since the planer would otherwise have to push all the air through the filter and motor of your shop vac as well. There are also a lot of really great plans out there for cheap dust collectors which I’d recommend because this produces chips very fast.

[@jmains]

Yes, turn it on.

[@beulahmcgraw7350]

I want to unbox my planer and found your video. My first confusion came at taking the top off. why look at the blade assembly? and those things called worm or screw drives, what are they and what do i do if the blades wobble? ok testing shifter didn't tell me anything. what would it do if its bad?

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Hey Beulah! Sorry for the confusion. I think I understood your questions correctly but please help me understand better if I didn’t. I look at the blade assembly to make sure there isn’t any packing material or debris in it before starting it up and to ensure the blades are installed correctly. Regarding the worm or screw drives, if you’re referring to the 4 posts in the corners, those are what control the height of the planer and ensure it stays flat while being lowered. With regards to blade wobble, if the blades themselves are wobbling in the spindle to which they’re mounted, you’ll need to tighten the screws that hold them in place. If my memory serves me well, there are three. If you’re talking about a small amount of rotational play, that’s normal. That being said I’m not official Dewalt support and they’d be able to help you debug more of you’re still concerned with the wobble. Regarding the shifter, testing that was just to go through the function of shifting. It won’t work unless the tool is on but if yours is broken, I’d contact the store you purchased from to coordinate a return or contact Dewalt support. If I didn’t understand any of your questions correctly, let me know! Otherwise I hope you get your tool up and running, I love mine in the shop. Happy Woodworking! Josh Northwest Craftsman

What's the dust collector you use and where can I get one?

Great question! It's an Oneida cyclone dust collector. They have different sizes but this one is sized for a shop vac, though, it's not strictly necessary to have one because the blower can power it. Below are the links for the setup I have. Dust Collection Setup.

Would a roller stand not help with snipe ?

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Depends on the cause! On a long heavy board, absolutely. The indeed/outfeed trays sag under the weight without a roller and I frequently use one on either side. With smaller boards that won't sag, snipe is still usually caused by the trays being misaligned. I have to adjust mine periodically because the times I feed a heavy load through.

[@stevestockalper5949]

What does the dial on the left do?

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Great question! It’s a preset depth stop. When you set the depth there, you won’t be able to adjust it lower than that. I have found it to be less than accurate and just relied on the gauge to get repeatably planed boards.

How do I get yhe

[@surfinturfer]

Excellent video! For leveling the feed tables, highly recommend using a box level. Accurate to 0.1 degree. Place it in the middle of the bed withe the face positioned toward one side (as opposed to facing the direction of wood feed), zero it out, then move it to each of the feed beds. QUESTION: How do you adjust if the blades are not parallel to the bed, making one side thinner than the other?

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Thanks for the compliment! And you’re totally right with the box level, great idea. One problem I’ve found recently with my trays being perfectly level is that the small amount of flex they experience under the weight of a long board will induce snipe. To counter this, I’ve inclined them ever so slightly, so the outsides are higher, which reduced my snipe greatly. To your question though! Which, thanks for the clear formatting, made it much easier to spot the question. That will likely be in the 4 posts that raise and lower the entire cutting mechanism. I haven’t ever heard of it not being true to the bed. I’d contact Dewalt if you have an issue with that. EDIT: After some quick Google sleuthing it looks like rotating the posts individually is the way to adjust but that this is done exceedingly rarely.

[@surfinturfer]

@@NorthwestCraftsman Great idea on the snipe -- will do it, thanks. Don't have the room to house a feed table similar to miter saw -- that would be sweet! As for level, it's off .017' across 5.5" piece of hard maple, according to my Neiko 01407A . Significant to me for table tops. Will continue research; thanks again.

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

Interesting! I need to go through and measure mine to see if it’s co-planar or more realistically how co-planar it is. 17 thou over 5” seems pretty steep. Here’s one of the threads I saw on the topic. One guy measured off each post and iteratively checked on a piece of wood. I suspect you could just iteratively plane a piece until you’re within tolerance across the cutter head. If mines out, I’ll end up making a video on it 😂 let me know if you learn anything! www.finewoodworking.com/forum/dewalt-dw735-does-not-plane-same-thickness-from-one-side-to-the-other

You totally can! The bag or barrel will need to have an outlet of some kind to let the air out and the cyclone just helps to "clean" the air ahead of time. There are plenty of bag attachments for planers though. Great question!

What type of dust collector is that? Just a stand-alone bucket with some sort of funnel?

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

This one is a basic two stage separation system. Single stage would be shop vac only, two stage has a dust separator ahead of the vacuum. This system, which I still use regularly, is a dust deputy on top of a generic blue barrel. You can put it on top of anything with an air tight seal. I’ve included links below for all the parts I used. Honestly, a dust separator is a huge bonus and almost a necessity in a wood shop. I’ve had to change my shop vac bag once in 2 years and I bet most of that was from when I was too lazy to hook up the cyclone.

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

It works great with it being powered independently. Only real reason I hooked it up to the rest of my dust collection was because I didn’t like hauling my blue barrel from one tool to the next. I do see an improvement in chip collection when I have it hooked up to my primary dust collection but nothing that would make me say it needs to be done. Also, I think you’ll love this tool.

Thanks for sharing. I noticed you plugged the dust port on the planer to a dust deputy . Did you connect a shop-vac to the dust deputy?

[@NorthwestCraftsman]

I actually don’t! The 735 has enough blowing power to take advantage of the dust deputy’s cyclone. I’ve found that adding the shop vac on the back side only restricts flow more. Plus, the few fluffs of shavings that make it out of the dust deputy exhaust port are far less than the ones not extracted from the knife area of the planer.

Should be something close to that! I haven’t used the super before but if it’s like the regular, the bottom of the cyclone has a flange with the central hole and hole pattern around the edge. I drilled that pattern out of the lid included with the blue barrel and then bolted it on. Again, I haven’t used the super, but if it’s like the regular, it should be close to that.
