DeWalt DW735X 13 Three Knife, Two Speed Thickness Planer

The DeWalt DW735X thickness planer is a must - have for woodworkers. It comes with a powerful 15 - AMP, 20,000 RPM motor (10,000 RPM cutterhead speed), enabling it to handle large cuts on wide materials effortlessly. The three - knife cutter - head not only offers 30% longer knife life but also makes knife changes a breeze. With a two - speed gear box, users can adjust the feed speed to achieve 96 or 179 cuts per inch. The fan - assisted chip ejection system keeps the cutter - head clean by sucking chips and expelling them from the machine. Its 19 - 3/4 - inch cast aluminum base is twice as rigid as a standard 10 - inch base and folding tables. The automatic carriage lock reduces snipe without manual operation. The material removal gauge and extra - large thickness scale ensure accurate cuts every time, and the extra - large turret depth stop lets you easily return to your most used thicknesses. The package includes a 13 - inch three - knife, two - speed thickness planer, a dust hose adapter, a dust ejection chute, infeed and outfeed tables, and an extra set of knives.

Using the DeWalt DW735X is easy. First, set up the infeed and outfeed tables according to your needs. Connect the dust hose adapter to your dust collection system to keep the workspace clean. When starting, choose the appropriate speed on the two - speed gear box based on the material and the cut you want. Place the wood on the infeed table and let the planer do its job. Remember to use the material removal gauge and extra - large thickness scale for accurate cuts. For the best results, don't force the wood through the planer too quickly. As for maintenance, clean the cutter - head regularly using the fan - assisted chip ejection system. Check the knives periodically and replace them when they start to dull. Store the planer in a dry place to prevent rust and damage to the 19 - 3/4 - inch cast aluminum base. If you notice any issues with the automatic carriage lock or other parts, stop using the planer and have it checked by a professional.
