- I have learned a lot in the last week using my DeWalt DW 734 thickness planer. In this video I am going to share with you some of the things I have learned. I had some idea's of what a thickness planer was capable of doing that it is not capable of doing. Who knew you could use a sled in a thickness planer. You will find all that and more in this video.

I operated industrial 4 sided planers and molders for over 35 years. Be aware that the quickest way to dull the blades is to barely skim the surface as you where doing on multiple passes. Try to plane below the surface as soon as possible to retain blade sharpness longer. 😊
Thank you.
it's mean better do 1 depth pass ?
You CAN remove some cupping. Plane the convex side of the board first. The concave side approximates a flat side. Once you’ve flattened the convex side, then you have a basis to flatten the concave side.
If you try to plane the concave side first, the board can wobble side to side so you won’t make consistent progress planing.
Thank you, does board thickness matter?
@@detroitdiy Not very much. You' re not trying to make the board flex; just knocking off the bits that aren't square/flat. What matters is how much thickness you can afford to sacrifice to get it flat.
I’m thinking of buying one of these planers. I’m really glad I watched your video, very informative. Thanks.
I plan on buying the same planer and have learned via -RUclips all that was said but watching you go thru each step I have a much better understanding. I appreciate you sharing and I enjoyed your videos on the Dewalt thus far!
Thank you, I am glad I could help. If you have any questions or concerns, I will be glad to help you out.
@@detroitdiy I framed houses for 35 yrs. and like you have been around and owned many tools but never a thickness planer. I appreciate your offer and will most likely take you up on that. TY!
Thank you for the video. Like you, after 40+ years of home shop woodworking, I just gave myself my first planer (Dewalt 735X) for Christmas. I am amazed I resisted buying one for all these years! I am very keen on the comments, and seeing what can be done better. These videos, and the comments, are invaluable! RUclips absolutely ROCKS!
Great video ,very informative!
Years ago using a shop vac and collector lid, I filled my five gallon bucket just under half way with water hoping to minimize the cloud of dust formed while emptying. The results seem to be added thrust or vac pressure, longer fill time because the saw dust was not as fluffy, far minimal dust from exhaust, i cloud simply place a large garbage bag over the mouth of my five gallon bucket and roll the moist dust easily and also saving space in my main street garbage cans on pickup day and i didn;t measure but I also believe there is a noise reduction. Last but not least, I had sawdust heat up at my router station and did not realize smoldering until clouds of smoke was coming from my five gallon bucket, but since I've been adding water the swirling water in the five bucket does not allow any heat buildup inside the bucket.
Thanks for video , very good idea .
Excelente video me sirve de ayuda porque tengo dewalt. Saludos desde Venezuela
Check in the window and door section of your local big box lumber store and get some packages of wooden shims. Cheaper and easier than the plastic ones. I have a similar planer and never take less than a quarter turn and maybe a half turn at a time. Move it along and get the job done. Very nice.
Upgrade from a 5 gal. bucket to a 30-32" trash can with either 2.5" or 4" cyclone ports to your shop vac.
Thank you!
Take the 90’s out of the hoses and make it 45’s this will increase your efficiency and if you can use smooth inside diameter. If you upgrade you still need this. Have a great day.

Sounds like you have experience with high velocity material handling through piping. Keeping the material flowing is the name of the game. That's why roundabouts are more efficient than 4 way stops. That's why NASCAR's turns are round, as are horse racetracks. Imagine the chaos!
The manual recommends removing 1/32" of material -- that is an eighth of a turn -- not a half turn. If a quarter turn is 1/16th, half of that is 1/32. That's why an eighth of a turn seems right. It is right.
Sometimes you just need to cut off the bad and get another board.
From what I see with your dust collection is that your shop vac is to small.
I have the same planner. I'm using a Ridgid 16gal shop vac. Still have a 2.5 hose yet there's just a little dust coming out from the front. The 16gal vac is at a central point. I use blast gates for my miter saw, table saw, planner and some other hand held tools.
I've never had the amount of dust like I see in your video.
I got my vac on sale.
Thank you for your input. I will check that out.
Yeah there's no way a shop vac can keep up with any plainer, that's why I love the 735 as it has a blower and you only need a hose and a bag..and double sided tape be much easier then glue...just my thoughts....
I have this same planer. I am building a butcher block counter top out of scrap framing studs I have around. It is face grained not end grained. I keep getting black matks and divits in the wood. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Sounds like to much material being removed in a single pass. The black marks would be from the feed rollers spinning on the wood because the blades can't remove it as fast as it's being fed in. Same with the snipe, try running it through with the blades just barley touching the wood and see if that all goes away. If not, then I have no Idea what could be causing the problem.
On my electric hand planer, if I leave the planer resting in one spot for even less than 1 second, the material will have burn marks and a divot. My recommendation would be to keep the material moving through the planer by ensuring the rollers are making contact. This means planing a little bit more than not.

John Goodman is a carpenter too?! Stfu Donnie!
I’m thinking of buying one of these planers. I’m really glad I watched your video, very informative. Thanks.
I'm glad I could help. I have become very happy with this planer.
