DeWalt DW735x Unboxing and Initial Impressions

Apr 27

DeWALT DW735x Planer Unboxing and Review. The DW735x is 15 Amp 13 in. Heavy-Duty 2-Speed Thickness Planer with Knives and Tables. This DW735x review is from the perspective of never having used a planer. DW735 version comes without extension tables or spare blades. DW735x hands-on and discussion while I unbox the planer. My initial impression is that the DEWALT 15-Amp 3-Blade Planer is that it is well built. It feels like a solid build planer. It is heavy, coming in at approximately 92 pounds. I experienced DeWalt Planer snipe on the first board I ran through it but things will likely need to be adjusted to fix planer snipe. This planer review is just my initial impressions of the tool. A full DW735x planer review will be coming soon. I think this is the best planer of 2018. The 735x planer comes in at around $600 if you're in the market. The DW735x is marketed for the semi-professional woodworker. The DeWalt DW734 is marketed more toward the hobbyist woodworker, however, it is still a great planer. The DW734 comes in around $400.
