Probably the first big investment I would recommend if you plan on doing a lot of woodworking. This kzfaq.infoUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL and a good jointer are going to change the game. If you don’t have a jointer, you can built a sled for this planer and still make straight, flat and square boards. I recommend this kit with the infeed and out feed tables. For longer boards you’ll still want some type of support to minimize snipe.If you don’t have dust collection when you buy this, it will be your next purchase. This tool has powered chip ejection meaning it will throw wood chips across your entire shop.The stock knives leave a great finish themselves but can get dinged up on knots and the like in harder woods. They are fairly cheap to replace and this kit comes with a second set. There’s also plenty of videos showing you how to resharpen these.Upgrading to a Shelix head (an investment that basically doubles the price of this tool) gives you a tool comparable to much more expensive ones. If you get the chance it’s worth it but this tool is great even in stock form.

Great video, feels very professional with the backing music. Just adding another voice to say to anyone else watching that you should be using push sticks on the table saw and pads on the jointer (or planer as we confusingly call it in the UK!). Don't want to see you get injured so you can't do any more great videos like this one!

Hi very nice presentation and I really enjoyed it. I have two questions. 1- I do not have any available space for a planer in my garage and I live in Southern California by the beach. I was wondering if I put my planer on a cart with wheels , make a plywood cover for the cart with five sides and put the cover on the top of the cart and in addition put a cover like barbecue cover over it , would it be protected from rust ? 2- Can I run 2X4 vertically through planer ? I would appreciate your input. Thanks.
@_Shopfix9 ай бұрын
That’s a good thought, the planer is fairly small and light weight. Could you build a stand for it outside and then set it on top when you want to use it. Then simply carry the planer inside to store it 🤷♂️ you can run 2x4 vertically but only if you build a jig that supports the lumber like that. There’s a ton of videos on how to set that up.

Couple'uh questions, first, the lowering handle, when you first get it & have to put that on, is it dummy-proof? Or can you mess it up somehow? & 2ndly, I still don't understand that dial on the side, you set it to 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4, but what about the other settings? You put it down to the board's height & then the dial does the rest?

@_Shopfix Жыл бұрын
Hey, yes this happens from time to time. It’s hard to prevent and only happens occasionally so usually I leave my boards a few inches over final dimensions so I can cut off any snipe that occurs during planing.

I just got a used one and the guy who gave it to me told me to lift the board up a little at the end to prevent that. Not sure if it works because I haven't used it yet, but he's an experienced carpenter so I trust his word.

Bonjour, Je suis très content du travail effectué par le rabot DW733 pour mon usage occasionnel. Malheureusement il est tombé en panne au bout de 3 ans et 2 mois. Juste après la fin de garantie... 337€ de réparation pour inducteur + condensateur quel dommage! Surtout que Dewalt refuse de faire un geste face à mon désagrément. D'autres expériences de ce genre avec la marque?

Sudden beard growth at 6:57 Nice video though. I do have a question. Sometimes wood can get damaged when going through a thickness planer. Sometimes it leaves brown spots in the wood. Do you know why that happens, what exactly is going wrong?
@_Shopfix3 жыл бұрын
I have had this happen as well. It is most likely the rollers causing the issue. I recommend taking some mineral spirits and cleaning off the rollers and it should help! Keeping the machine overall clean and well maintained will certainly help as well.

@_Shopfix2 жыл бұрын
You can use a planer without a jointer no problem however, the thickness planer will not make your boards flatter, that is the job of a jointer. We joint boards before we plane them so the thickness is uniform over the whole board. You can thickness plane a warped board and it will come out still warped just thinner.

@_Shopfix2 жыл бұрын
Well I would never run my hands directly over the jointer knives. I am trusting in the structural integrity of the piece of wood, something that I am comfortable doing knowing the lumber that I am using. If I had doubts about the integrity of the lumber or if the lumber was really thin I would never use my hands. This is something individual woodworkers will have to judge on their own terms.
