Our take on the DeWalt DW735

The DeWalt DW735 is a 13-inch benchtop thickness planer with a 15-amp motor and a three-knife cutterhead that spins at 10,000 RPM. Its two-speed feed (96 or 179 cuts per inch) and fan-assisted chip ejection set it apart from most benchtop planers. It is heavy at about 157 lb and built on a cast aluminum base. The DW735X adds infeed and outfeed tables and an extra knife set.

Best forSmall shops that need a 13-inch planer without floor space for a stationary machWoodworkers finishing rough lumber to consistent thicknessBuyers who want a two-speed feed for smoother cuts per inchAnyone who wants strong chip ejection without a separate dust collector
Pros
  • 15-amp motor handles wide, deep passes on hardwood
  • Two feed speeds let you trade finish quality for speed
  • Three-knife cutterhead gives clean cuts at 10,000 RPM
  • Fan-assisted chip ejection clears chips well
  • Automatic carriage lock reduces snipe
  • Vernier depth adjustment is precise and can be converted to digital
Cons
  • About 157 lb makes it hard to move alone
  • Loud in operation, especially on the faster feed
  • Knives are straight steel, not a helical or spiral head
  • Dust port needs a hose and collector for best results
  • The base model lacks the tables and extra knives of the DW735X

Questions and answers

Is the DW735 worth it over the DW734?
The DW735 adds a two-speed feed, a three-knife head and fan-assisted chip ejection, which give a better finish and fewer clogs. The DW734 is lighter and cheaper but has a single feed speed and a two-knife head.
What is the difference between the DW735 and DW735X?
The DW735X bundles infeed and outfeed tables and an extra set of knives. The planer itself is the same machine.
Can it handle 13-inch hardwood boards?
Yes. It planes up to 13 inches wide and takes cuts up to 1/8 inch deep. On wide hard maple, take lighter passes to protect the motor and knives.
Does it need a dust collector?
The fan-assisted ejection blows chips out of the port, so a bag or hose helps but is not strictly required. A collector keeps the shop cleaner on long runs.
Can I convert the depth adjustment to digital?
Yes. The vernier depth adjustment can be fitted with a digital readout accessory for easier repeat settings.
When is the price lowest?
Planer prices tend to dip during holiday sales and spring woodworking promotions. Check the price history before buying.
What do buyers say about the DeWalt DW735?
Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 332 ratings.
