What is the difference between the Dewalt DW735 and DW735X?
The only difference between the DW735X and the DW735 is that the DW735X comes with infield and outfeed tables for supporting the work piece, and an extra set of planer knives for the cutterhead. While the DW735 is just the planer machine without the infeed and outfeed tables and the extra cutterhead knives.
How thin can a Dewalt planer go?
My DeWalt 734 states a minimum thickness of 1/8″. The thinnest I have done is 5/32 (without a sled and no mishap or snipe, but I crept up on the final thickness using 1/8 turns on the adjustment). With thin wood, if is has a bow, make sure that the leading edge is bowed down when feeding it in.
What is the dial on the side of a Dewalt planer for?
On the right side of the planer is a small dial that is used to set three common thicknesses. Setting it to 0, 1/4”, 1/2”, or 3/4” ensures that your part will be no thinner than the indicated value.
What causes snipe on a planer?
Snipe is simply when a board is cut deeper on the beginning or end when going through a planer. This is typically caused by the board lifting up into the cutter head while it’s only being held down by one of the pressure rollers.
How thin can a planer cut wood?
Most planers aren’t very happy running stock that’s less than 1/4″ in thickness. Once the wood gets that thin, it becomes very light and flexible and there’s a good chance it’ll be sucked up into the planer blades which will quickly turn your fancy planer into a wood chipper.
Can you use a planer as a jointer?
A planer can be used as a jointer by following a few woodworking tricks. Woodworking jointers and planers are used to mill wood so they can be used to build furniture and other projects to correct dimensions.

What is the difference between DeWalt and jet planers?
I sold the first one shortly after buying a much larger Jet 15″ planer, and re-purchased the Dewalt planer because it works much better on smaller pieces of wood and for taking much finer cuts. When taking cuts finer than about 1/16″, the Jet planer will leave marks on the wood from its metal input drive roller.
