Vevor Thickness Planer versus Dewalt DW735x Thickness Planer / Vevor Thickness Planer Review

[@BeachsideHank]

Good enough, satisfactory, sufficient, acceptable, suitable, reasonable, agreeable, adequate, usable, all right; these words do not necessarily mean compromise in any endeavor or tool, just a point at which nothing further of substance will be gained by additional effort. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough. *Mt personal mantra- retired cabinet and furnituremaker here.*

[@76shogun1]

The chalk test is pure genius. Never seen that before. Thanks!

[@ArtisanMade]

Can’t take credit for that. Saw someone else do that. Thank you.

[@21thTek]

thanks to turn down the audio volume when power tools are working, everything shows a a clever profesional you are, apreciate it !! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@tyson457]

Sorry but I don't think the dewalt is worth 700 more, I purchased the new vevor for $265 and have not had a problem with it.

[@jasontaylor9871]

Maybe use the included spare blades that come with the Vevor and see if it's just a set of bad blades

[@jeffburgeson3490]

I just got one ťhat didn't have spare blades. Also had no power. Knots tripped the overload

[@davidtaylor8244]

That Vevor planer looks and probably is, identical in all but name, to an Axminster brand thicknesser, I purchased here in the UK some 25 years ago. It is still going strong and does a decent job. The rollers on top will fall off and get lost, the tables will bend a bit over time but it will keep going and provide VFM over the years.

[@mitchellwilson975]

Are the blades the same size? I have a Vevor and can't buy blades for it

[@cprphantom2318]

Whats up guys today we are going to be doing a comparison of a Lamborghini Aventador vs a Honda civic

[@ArtisanMade]

Actually it was supposed to be a Ferrari vs a ford but it didn’t make the cut. Not kidding.

[@pulltabsdetector7608]

Hahahaha

[@basilloizou1942]

Thanks for showing the planers Would you please also show the cleaning and maintenance features

[@highwavecnc]

I know this is a bit late but Vevor has now 13" 2000W 3 blade and 2 speed planer. That surely is an upgrade but don't know how much. Without legs the price is close to this model.

[@knuckleheadfishing5405]

Could you change the blade to a better blade?

[@ArtisanMade]

Yes definitely

[@JoshuaShepherd]

@@ArtisanMade on that note- what are the replacement blade options for both units? If compatible blades for both are available it’d be cool to see a rematch with economy/premium blades. Aside from that the hi/lo range blade options for both would be useful. Just found your channel- great stuff. Subscribed thanks

[@kevinosterude7239]

Great review! I was thinking on getting the Vevor but I was checking Craig’s List last weekend and a like new 2 yr old Dewalt 735 popped up for $325. One side of the blades were toast, boards came out rougher than they went in, rotated them and they are smooth. I think this was a good choice for the price. Would you recommend getting the extension tables?

[@ArtisanMade]

That was a great deal. If you plan on keeping this machine for a long time, the extensions are definitely worth the money. The blades can’t be sharpened so when the time comes you will need to replace them. They are a bit expensive $70-90. I may buy the helical head when the time comes. Good luck!!

[@AnthonyAnthony-tk4ye]

Great video, one piece of advice though; probably everyone watching this would like to hear them run too lol… not just because it’s music to the ears, but so we can hear if they bog and how loud they are in comparison

[@ArtisanMade]

That’s great advice. I’m surprised no one else mentioned that already. I’ll remember that for the next time.

[@stoney268]

The vevor also has a stronger version which has 2 speed, the one you tested didnt. With the higher speed you should get a cleaner cut, according to Vevor ;) The deWalt is not available in Europe, the deWalt we have here looks more like the Vevor ;)

[@sbrenaissance9]

I was about to order Vevor, but I definetly go with DeWalt after seeing this video because I need quality , great content, thanks for sharing.

[@dema-3000]

Тhe problem with this Dewalt model is that it does not have a CE mark. Which is not a problem for American market, but is forbiden for Europe :)

[@ArtisanMade]

I didn’t know that. Thank you for sharing that information.

[@mksnz]

I bought the newest 2000w 3 blade planer and after four uses and maybe half an hour altogether the blade shaft dropped due to the axel breakage near ball bearing. Blades are damaged. Now they want me to fix it and sending a shaft assembly to which I said no. Probably one of the bearings is loose and the shaft cover broken, it is possible that the transmission is also somehow damaged. I don't even have tools to fix it. The planer needs to be replaced but I don't think they will never do it. Stay away from this junk if you're even a tiny bit serious of your tools.

[@MR-yp7mu]

Blades make a difference. I prefer helical cutterheads.

[@ArtisanMade]

Doesn't everybody?

[@meridethmorton9523]

I would like to see it compared to the Bauer planer

[@a9ball1]

I would like to see it compared to the Craftsman planer. 2 low cost ones against each other. I've watched several videos on planers and you are the only one that measured the thickness of the boards. Two thumbs up for that. In fact I was so impressed I subscribed to your channel.

[@AnthonyAnthony-tk4ye]

You should be able to adjust the overall thickness from side to side…

[@Salvic_Brotherhood]

So I'm a huge fan of DeWalt but I have an objection to this video. It is actually kind of stupid and very ludicrous to compare a DeWalt planer to a cheap budget planer. It's very obvious and you don't have to watch a video like this to know for a fact that the DeWalt planer will obviously be better then the budget planer. But here's my objection mind the fact that I am a DeWalt fanboy.. If I am just starting out in woodworking and I have a very limited budget on spending money on tools coming from a DeWalt Fanboy I would actually by the budget planer over the expensive one. This is the reason why I would buy a budget planer over buying the expensive much better DeWalt planer. With a DeWalt planer DeWalt is expecting that you are not an amateur that you understand the features and all the functionality of a desktop planer that they provide. Your typical amateur that will on occasion use a planer may not comprehend or understand all the features that DeWalt provides. Not understanding and comprehending every element of a planar especially this DeWalt planer can lead to either a serious injury are you breaking the machine and then having buyers remorse thinking that you spent all that money and you bought a piece of garbage but in fact it is you that made a mistake and it's not the machine it's user error but you still are upset because you spent almost $700 on desktop planer. Here's the funny thing most planers universally use similar blades, in fact most budget planers can except higher end blades that will basically allow you to get very similar results to an expensive planer. I'm sure if you are smart enough you could probably also accessories in elements to a budget planer. The truth is as an amateur getting a budget planer is a much better decision simply because if you break a budget planer you won't feel as bad compared to spending nearly $700 on a DeWalt planer. And let's say a amateur would work her over time learns and understands the functionality of a planar perfectly and they make enough extra money on the side they can later down the road invest in a better planer.

[@jeffburgeson3490]

Totally disappointed. Called to return first day. Tripped overload while trying to plane 2x6 as soon as it hit a knot.

[@faustinoopena8207]

Wow amazing i like that machine but I can't afford to buy I'm pilipino to support your blog if you have old machine ihope yuo share .I hope someday my dream will come true idol

[@mattrzewnicki6343]

0.2mm=.008". Look at the decimals again. that's .008". Thats pretty impressive for a budget tool. I've seen very expensive milling equipment that's worse than that.

[@dand1800]

should have compared similar priced units, this comparison is not relevant

[@1997mets]

Great video

[@craigdavis6534]

$300 machine vs a $700 machine. Yea not a really good comparison 😊

[@HouseOfWoe]

You already had your mind made up before you even started the review, lol.

[@ronin6044]

Ridiculous that DeWalt is 629$ in the US and to import it to EU with shipping and all is just over 1000$.

[@ArtisanMade]

I didn't know that. That is ridiculous!

[@dirgemcelvoy2583]

Try Australia at just under $2000.00

[@josephthibeault4843]

You are comparing apples and Oranges this Vevor is 8000 RPM, Vevor has a 2 speed 23000 rpm a better unit and the Dewalt is 23000 rpm

[@ArtisanMade]

I am comparing two machines that are supposed to perform the same task.
