Thanks for the side by side! Love the sound of rain on your roof!

I've owned the 734 for several years and love it. Recently though, it wouldn't start. I checked everything and decided I needed a new switch. A few minutes later I thought I'd check the brushes. Low and behold, both of them were loose. I turned them in snug and poof....it started working again. Lesson learned....they will vibrate loose.

Thank you for the sharing the valuable information on the DeWalt planers and taking time to make the video. Kudos

Been looking into these ... power hand planing works just really slow and my shop is just a box of cereal. These are so on my list. Again your reviews never disappoint!!

I have a DW735X and recently upgraded to the Lux spiral carbide cutter head. Well worth the money, and the planer performs better than ever.

Excellent review. Thanks for the comparison. I think the 734 will do fine for me. The 735 is quite expensive by the time you add the tables, and I wouldn't want it without them.

Thank you for this video. Excellent job. Just what I was looking for making a decision between the two.

Should have flipped the board over and run it through the 734 to check for snip

I have seen lots of videos on Dewalt planer but this is the best one. Thank you!!

Thanks. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge and insights.

Thanks for sharing and putting those comparison. Cheers from Malaysia!

I bought the 734 several years ago and have generally been very pleased with it. The snipe lock works very well. I just wish the blades lasted a bit longer. Even very hard knots are tough on them.

If you read my comment get the 734 over the 735 I have the 734 it’s worth every penny. I carry the 80 pound planner up and down my basement stairs when I do use it and it’s awesome to use . The speed of the 734 is slow when moving he boards through which is good for that perfect finish The 735 doesn’t make sense in spending extra money on it doesn’t even come with the bed for both sides and no locking mechanism.

Thank you for this side by side comparison. One thing to improve is even audio volume; in this video, its all over the place, from one take to the next.

I've been a carpenter/joiner for 35 years and and you've taught me a few things today ✨️ ty all the best. C

I have a little wen lunchbox planer that looks very similar to the 734 and I get a little bit of snipe but have found you can eliminate it entirely by feeding boards back to back which may not be useful on smaller projects unless your willing to use a sacrificial board but it really helps on larger projects when you have a bunch of boards you need to the same thickness just butt em up to each other one after another. In a nutshell snipe is caused when only one of the 2 feed rollers is pressing against the board causing a little more material to be removed and feeding back to back keeps both rollers in contact with the wood.

I just order 734 from Home Depot Lowes sold out . 735 are every wear Hope 734 does good job as you say , thanks for video 🇺🇸

Thanks for the review...I have the DW735 and I have found that pulling up on the board until it engages the cutter heads and as it exits the cutter reduces the snipe The in and out feed tables also reduce snipe, I noticed that the tables are adjustable and I made them slightly higher than the main Platten this reduced snipe a lot. One thing I have noticed is that sometimes the raise and lower crank moves during operation, are you seeing this at all. The conical heads are available for the 735, but they are almost the same price as the planer. One accessory that I would like to get is the Wixey WR510, it gives you an exact reading of the current planer thickness setting.

One of the things I've come to appreciate about the 735 is not needing a dust extractor. That thing blows the woodchips out with more force than my shop vac can keep up with. I ended up using a pillow case strapped to the end of the extraction hose to bag what it shoots out of the extraction port. Maybe the 734 does the same but I don't have that one.

Thanks for the side by side comparison, it’s really helped me make a decision after mulling over the specs again and again. I’m pulling the trigger on the 735 and after seeing the snipe you ended up with, I’m going all in with the additional in feed/out feed tables that are available. Funny they’re included with the 734 and not the 735 🤔

Good video, I just bought a 734 today

Thank you for the review. I've been eyeballing planers and this helps in the selection. It also explains why I've had snipe issues with using my father's 735 planer. Also no issues with audio here, most people probably just can't understand the Southern accent, I'm from the south so it was loud and clear here. 🤣

Great video. I learned a few things. Thanks.

Good review Tracy! I've no experience with the 110 planers...we've been running a Jet 220 15" planer shoot man for bout 12 years w/ little issue. Have a good one!

Good old boy giving us honest information, Thanks Great job!

Good information mate, cheers

Just the video I needed, thanks

I think the "killer app" on the 735 is the blower for ejecting chips for jobsite use. Other than that, I suspect the snipe is both to do with the lack of tables and with the feed roller spacing. I like my 734, indeed very little snipe, and in the shop I can use a nice blower to help extract chips.

Thank you for the very objective video. Sometimes newer model is not all that. Thank you for helping me make my decision.

I’ve been trying to make up my mind on these two planers. Your video has convinced me to get the 734. I just don’t think the extra little things on the 735 is worth an extra $130. Thanks for the video.

Tracy. Outstanding video. I really like the way you explain and compare everything. Please keep your style as your channel grows. Also, I would love for you to do a vid on setup and using the 734 for beginners. I know you would do an excellent job on it. I like hearing you talk too. I live in Nashville and not from here. Love the accents. Lol... Happy new year and God bless...Michael

Just curious, do you think the 2 speeds is as necessary in light of many people upgrading to helical heads? It seems the lower speed is better for highly figured grain or harder woods, but that might be an issue of straight knives. I'm wondering if the DW734 equipped with a helical head might perform just as well compared to a DW735. Any thoughts?

Thank you for the video, how long did the blades last on the 734 ? How many board ft you think?. Great video thanks bud.

Just picked up the 735. Never seen snipe as bad as this. Plus only got less than 10 minutes of use on the planer knives (WTF?) before having to turn them around. Plus the handle is quite stiff even though I dry-lubed the raise/lower shafts. Not happy with the 735. I've been running surface planers for a long time, a Makita back in 1980 for a few years and then a jet 10" for many more years. Been using a Ryobi AP13 which i bought after a few years with the AP10 (needed more width). Still use the AP13, after 25 years it has never let me down and the snipe is very light. Will keep the Ryobi for jobsite work, but will return the DW735 and try the 734 for the shop.

Thank you for this, I'm looking into getting a dewalt planner and not sure which one, to get the smaller one or the bigger one? I think the smaller one will work fine after you mentioned you've had the 734 for a while

Thanks for the demo, I noticed the speed setting on the 735 was at 2 would setting that at 1 for a slower feed setting reduce the Snipe?

Don't move the 735x selector speed lever unless its running!

Is the board "finished" after passing through however many times? Or is it recommended to hit it with the orbital sander afterwards?

You can buy infeed and outfeed tables for the 735

I'm not sure I understand the lockdown feature of the 734. Do you lock it down with every pass or just the last few cuts?

Can’t go wrong with the 735 but I do wish it Had some kind of lock to help with snipe. Extension wings would probably help

Thank you..

Looking to buy one in the next day or so. If you was going to buy one tomorrow which one would you get knowing what you do,The price and pros and cons of both. Thank you

The best analysis, the most sincere analysis so far, there are channels that have a metrology tool to deal with these product comparison situations, but you are to be congratulated because it was necessary as a surgeon to give information of high relevance to potentials buyers of wood equipment. I am not from the USA, I am from Brazil and I was wanting to import the DW 735 because Dewalt do Brasil has no prospect of bringing this equipment here. Now I know that the best choice, in terms of cost x benefit, is the DW 734. When looking at the size of the DW 735 you think that you will have a machine that will correct and expand features of high importance compared to the previous model, but no! Really no! It is just one more product to have consumption than to solve in a specific way the problems of unevenness that a project equipment to have level cannot offer. Congratulations on your excellent work.

I think that 2” insert pops out to give you the 4”.

You can get helical head for both harder to find for 734. Not sure why you didn't send 2 different boards for snip comparison?

LOVE MY 734

Thank You

A 4 inch right up to a 2 inch is better than a long 2 inch. You WILL get better suction and collection because you will loose less flow threw the 4 inch length even with a 2 inch connection. Just take my word for it. I've tested it. My planer was spiting out chips to the rear with a long 2 inch hose. When I connected the 4 inch directly to the 2 inch opening it stopped!

That was a good video and one which would normally interest me being a potential buyer but very annoyingly the 734 and 735 isn't available here in the UK. Only the 733. Not much of a choice.

Planers have quite a price range. Here are a few examples, taken today from Amazon: Triton $387 DW734 $459 DW735 $615 Makita $749 Is there really that much difference between them? Is the expensive DeWalt really $166 better than the “cheap” DeWalt?

So if I want to reclaim old furniture wood & be able to use rough construction lumber for a nicer project, this tool I'm combination with table saw & jointer is what I need? I appreciate whoever might take the time to answer this, ty.

I need to rework the boards on a horse paddock. The posts are Ok but the horizontal boards/slats are "worse for weather" they have seen. I believe the boards are 2" x 8" x about 8'. My notion is to plane each side and then run the sides across a table saw and remove about 3/8" from the top and bottom, repaint them and put put them back in service. I do not have a planer. Is this a bad idea? If it's not a horrible idea, would you think that buying a pretty good planer, like the Dewalt models, might be worthwhile or maybe I should go with HF, buy the warranty, a few sets of blades and see how it goes?

My 735 came with indeed and outfeed tables. You can buy them separately.

what's the actual height of the 735 ? in the side by side it looks smaller than the 733 but the specs say that the 735 is taller than the 733. I intend to build a workbench with the 735 integrated and the correct measurements are crucial! I don't intend to put anything thicker than 5-7 cm in it tops !

You can buy a helical head for both planers. I just bought one for my 734. But haven't installed it yet.

I was told to always feed boards in at an angle to use a majority of the cutter space- mostly not to dull a 2" section of blade- but on the old unit i used i found it to help some with the snipe. I can see how this method may not work on the 734 with the single 'removal' gauge, just curious if it helps the 735's case at all. Still, i assume an in/out-feed table would help most drastically?

You can get a helical cutter head for the 734.

Don’t listen to those people bitching about the audio. I could hear you just fine. …maybe they need to turn up their hearing aid. =D. Thanks for the video!

The 735 x has in and out feed tables available with it. It's often sold with the table and a set of extra knives for not much more.

We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives kzfaq.infoUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

seems like you would have run a different board through each so a direct comparison of snipe could have been made

That 2" dust port can be removed to open it up to a full 4".

i love my 734

Dude, where is your infeed and outfeed tables on the 735? No tables = Snipe. You can buy the 735 either with or without the in/out tables depending on what your setup is. Some like very long tables, the X version has rather short tables.

currently I can get the 374 for $399 and the 375 for $579. Seems like i would be better off with the 374 for the price. not having the tables on front and back doesnt seem worth the 1/2" bigger capabilities.

Hammerdown, will I get away with just using a ridgid shop vac on the 734?

Thanks for the side by side. I’m looking at several videos and models before I make my decision. Have you solved the snipe problem on the 735 yet? Your opinion matters.

The Wood Sniper

There is snipe because there is no infeed or outfeed tables. I am amazed they don't always sell them with it. Its almost unusable without them IMOI

DW735 is the best planer ever

The 734 DOES have spiral helical cutters. dw734 spiral are the search terms google it.

I have the 734 and no snipe.

Is your 734 very loud ?

Hi im in the uk and i wondered if you could answer this question for me. im in a storage unit with no power and i use it as a workshop. all my tools are cordless dewalts, could you tell me if the dewalt 1800 power station can power this thickness planer?

I’m a newbie. What is snap?

Why didn't you use another board and compare the snipe? That was not really a fair comparison.

Bought the DW 735, I thought it would be a great tool. Turns out not so much. This thing has traction issues, loud as hell, boards get jammed in outfeed, screws ratteling out of everywhere, thickness adjustment is super stiff, super bad snipe. Returning it. Not happy at all. Oh and the screws holding the blades were on so tight 3 of them stripped out using the provided wrench.

You can get a helix for the 734

What's snap? If I'm hearing you correctly.

Can I get this mecin in nepal..

You can install a Shelix cutter head on a DW 734

735X

need rivew dewalt735 vs Dewalt735x

i might have a quick solution for the DW735 making uneven planing watch ToolBoxBuzz's video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zp5-hal4nODTh30.html seems to be a common issue with benchtop planers

Do you know why the infeed roller is not metal feed roller

………which it says………on the button…….

There's no comparison the 735 is the better machine!

I was very interested in the subject but the audio level of the whole episode was so poor that I could not understand most of what you said.

Fix your audio it's very bad 1 star

Dewalt must be run by idiot bean counter's. Why would you sell a planner without blades and the infeed, outfeed tables? Just greed I guess. I'm buying the grizzly with the helical cutter head for $840. This kind of cooperate greed will loose customers.

Its a toy
