    I followed this video to remove the twin bladed cutterhead but only the 733 GB Type 2 the locking device must be removed first before you try to removing the cutterhead as it sticks in behind the bearing wheel and stops you removing the cutterhead, I was hitting my cutterhead for all it was worth until I found it the locking device even when unlocked still stuck across the back of the bearing stopping me from removing it and I ended up breaking the bearing cover off slightly due to hitting it a lot, thank god it wasn't the new cutterhead as my machine is brand new plus the drive belt is far from easy to remove I had to use two screwdrivers to prise it off at the drive wheel.
    The whole job certainly doesn't take a few minutes it took me age's, mind you this was my first time doing this and my belt was new unstretched with by use, and I have ended up with a 1 inch x 1/4 inch spring and a tiny ball bearing remaining and I don't know if they came off this machine as I didn't remove them and can't see you do it in the video, do you have any ideas as to where they belong on the machine, if they do that is?.
    Thanks.

    Very helpful! I used your same basic process for swapping out the cutter head. Do you have any tips for ensuring the replacement head is parallel to the table/base-plate or adjusting it?

    • @findbuytool

      Eric, glad to help you. The cutter head is machined by a CNC machine, and the accuracy is controlled at the μ level, so there is usually no non-parallelism with the base plate.

      @@findbuytool Just to make sure, I measured a nice wide board on both sides using calipers and taking shallow passes, and determined that the crank side of the cutter-head and motor unit had to come down about 3/64 relative to the other end, so I just loosened the chain cog on the screw shaft, adjusted it a quarter turn relative to the far end, tightened and retested until the average thickness of both sides of the wide board passing through was within .002 of each other. Took about 3 small adjustments to sneak up on perfect parallel. It just means when I reassembled the unit I had turned one height-adjustment screw about 1 rotation more than the other before reattaching the chain under the bottom panel. I don't know how you would be able to test/adjust that without calipers, since the height screws don't have physical indexing points for the chain cogs.

      @@ericnorman2176 Thanks, Eric. The DW733 is not as stable as the DW735, and it is true that there is a non-parallelism when changing the cutter head. I will get back to you on this issue after specific testing.

    What lubricant did you use for the cutter head bearings? The red stuff.

    • @findbuytool

      Hi Ryan, thanks for your comment, it's a lubricant from a domestic brand but I don't remember now, but any lubricant is fine, there is no special requirements, for your reference, one of our customers used this www.lucasoil.com/product/red-n-tacky-grease/, please feel free to contact us by email service@findbuytool.com if you have further questions, Thank you for your support!

    Do not apply oil to the cutterhead as it will cause the screws that hold the inserts to loosen during use. Unfortunately the manufacturer does not provide instructions that would warn against this. Also the manufacturer does not apply threadlocker to the screw threads to prevent loosening. The result of screws that are just barely loose is grooves in your workpiece.

    Hello!
    I bought this shaft and I have to say that when planing pine or other soft wood, the quality is not good!
    My regular HSS18 knives in the DeWalt DW733 cut soft wood much better and the machine doesn't get as tired!
    Be careful because with longer work with this shaft, the motor may burn out due to the increased load, and the DeWalt warranty does not cover this due to the replacement of the shaft!
    I am returning my shaft. Quite disappointed 😫😫

      Hi Marek, Thanks for your comment, may I ask did you buy your cutter head from our shop? if you are, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. About the cutting performance of pine or other soft wood, yes, the helical cutter head is not as good as the straight knife, it's the disadvantage of all the helical cutter heads, but there is not too much difference with hardwood, you can check it out here, Jack did a good review ruclips.net/video/VXlGNdAy6OE/видео.htmlsi=F3v8Fn1jfimYRY5Z, 7:55. Usually it will not burn out your planer by longer use of this shaft as there is an overload protection for the machine, it will stop automatically when the temperature is too high, although the cutter shaft is heavier, the cutting resistance during operation is less than that of a straight cutter, there is only a high peak when you start it, so if the burn happens, there may be various reasons such as long service life of the planer, too much cutting depth. Thanks again for sharing your experience, for more questions you can send us pictures or video and mail us at service@findbuytool.com, we're happy to help!

    Don't waste your money. The motor will burn out, known problem with these machines.

      Thank you for your comment, we suggest you choose a two-row helical cutter head if you are worried about the motor load. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.
