DEWALT Thickness Planer, Two Speed, 13-Inch (DW735X)

Excellent planer with lots of power. Dust extraction is very strong so dust collection of some sort is a must. Snipe is minimal if any and finish is glass smooth. Best value is buying the pkg with the tables and extra blades.

Es facil de operar y tiene buena presentación y de buena calidad, aunque no he tenido oportunidad de operarla plenamente se ve fuerte y resistente para el desmpeño de trabajos ligeros y semi pesados, notengo mucha experiencia en la carpintería pero creo me va a ser muy util en los trabajos de bricolaje que desarolle. En lo que se refiere a su empaquetadura de traslado me llegó muy deteriorada y creo sé porque, saludos.

Delivery was a full week late but that was no fault of Amazon. The original delivery company subbed out the package to a 2nd company and they didn't want to drive all the way out here for just this one item. But it arrived in great condition. Reading some other reviews I opened the box and immediately took the planer apart to check for excess lubricant. I wiped down the knives with a clean rag. I doubt there was enough to cause any problems with my project but it was noticeable. Straight out of the box this thing is beautiful to look at! I built a new 2'x4' work bench to attach it to with a roller from HF set at the same level as the infeed table. I felt safer with this than just a stand because this is going to be used mostly outside the shop. I think the work table will be more stable setting in the yard than a small stand would be. After bolting it down to the work surface I just sat and admired it for about an hour. It looked to pretty to dirty it up with wood. Warning!!! The blades are beyond razor sharp. Use a small peice of stock to rotate the knife head as instructed. I didn't and quickly got red blotches on my beautiful yellow machine. My first project was a 24"x40" toy chest for the grandkids. Ran some cured rough cut pine through it ripped down to 6" wide peices. This is my first big planer so I didn't know what to expect. After a couple passes on each side the wood came out glass smooth and ready for stain. The planer does a fantastic job and is really much easier to use than I expected. All the gauges and instructions make this great for a novice user. It is loud and creates a lot of shavings so I was right about putting it outside rather than using it in the shop. After I get wheels on the bench I am confident I will be able to move it around by myself. I have over 1500' of rough cut pine drying out that will be planed in 8'-12' sections. I look forward to several hours of work/fun with this machine. The planer is heavy, 100 lbs by itself. It is compact but extremely stable so use on a concrete floor shop shouldn't cause you any tipping problems. The machine does all the work for you. Just insert the wood a couple inches and it takes over. Wood chips fly feet out the ejection port. Makes a really smooth finish on setting #2. I don't think I will ever need to use setting #1 for the type of things I build. I don't really know that anyone would need to use #1 unless you worked a lot with hard woods. This is a very expensive tool that does an oustanding job of cutting wood down to a smooth surface. I would highly recommend it for that purpose. Can't say enough good things about it so far.

La marca es buena el equipo cumple su funcion ademas de tener la posibilidad de actualizar las cuchillas a un nuevo diseño; el vendedor cumplio con su responsabilidad. LO unico malo fue la paqueteria por la cual fue entregado al domicilio (UPS), son pesimos a la hora de entregar y nada honestos en sus comentarios. Amazon busquen una mejor logista para sus entregas, esto no les da una buena razon para habalr bien de ustedes mismos.

Just as expected, all the reviews pointed to this planer as the one to buy in the “portable” category. Nothing unexpected, you have to learn to take small cuts, and lift the board to prevent snipe, going in, and out. Delivery took a while though, it was shipped from Amazon.ca, but that turned out to be in Kentucky, but this was the cheapest option.
