I am not paid by them at all, but have wanted one for forever - not some clapped used one, and the 13” capacity is fine save being smart & hiring out by the hr to businesses who have large format planers.


Look around, I doubt you beat that deal of the $700 for the DW 735x & a stout stand (mine is still boxed, but the box was a good 80-90#)

The planer alone - the DW 735 is several $100 more, no feed ramps or extree blades, and this kit gets you a stand that by weight is a heavy gauge weight steel setup.

Best of luck, it’s a deal I hadn’t seen & I been watching these solidly 6-8mo. 👍
 
That's a really nice planer with minimal snipe.

Thanks for posting this. I'm not currently looking as my plans for woodworking have shifted, but this looks like good value best I can tell.

I’m working on a folding set of ramps to effectively double the length - I think that will help a decent amount, BIL had a pair of folding roller stands ~4’ out from the stock ramps when doing some reclaimed lumber for a gazebo mainly for weight, but with used stock blades it took it to the point you had to look for snipe on either end.

Wasn’t small sticks either - rough hewn barn timber that was right at max height it takes (6” IIRC on stock blades) - and various lengths from 10-13’ long.

I hear longer ramps or a dedicated countertop on either side helps a lot.

I don’t expect to bother with a helical cutterhead - may get a better cut on extreme hardwoods but the diameter is larger than stock spindle & blades.
Plus they are $400+ for good ones - I can do a lot of orbital sanding for that $$$

I’d watched the core machine go for $675-$699 for awhile before pulling trigger when it was ~ $752 on 4/30, landed at local store 5/8.
I went in yest & hassle-free they credited back ~$62.xx b/c of the Memorial Day sale lower price.

I don’t think they are going to ever get this cheap again as the full package setup.


And used 220v on local CL that do ~16” wide are all ~3x the $$$ for ones that aren’t beaten down/need bearings, belts, and sharpened knives.
 
I find that I get less snipe if I lift (not support, but lift slightly) as the board is close to exiting the planer.

Sounds like solid advice.

- our other friend who has the older 12.5” one on a dedicated flush mount at countertop height you REALLY have to look to see it, and he got it used but good shape from a pawn shop.

Maybe the DW734 - it may be old enough that’s not even the model # on his.

But he also has a lot of time on it & other tools are stuff like Metabo saw & AL guide, the king Bosch compound slider / articulating arm, and a real domino pocket cutter.

I got the Dewalt slider compound miter & it doesn’t hold angles well when sliding.
Not worth the $$ IME.

It was 2 decades ago, I don’t think Bosch even had that nice one out yet.

I most likely will sell that & get the Bosch one - his holds accurately even when that arm is articulating.
