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 ruclips.net/user/postUgkxIzvvTi3_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.
Hey thanks for the video!!! I have an old delta 6" jointer and I desperately need to change the blades. My blades are held on the same way as yours with the nuts inside the cutter head assembly. I'm having a hard time finding a wrench that will fit in the small space. And when I have found something to get in there I'm unable to get them to budge. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

Having the same bother. Did you manage to loosen them?
Where can I buy this blade?
You should be cleaning with a scraper getting all the wood gum off the holders
Blade sharpening machine price?
Please tell me where you got the alignment tool. Thank You.
The alignment tool came with the machine.
That's a jointer, not a planer.
pippetdog It's actually a combo machine. Jointer on the top, planer below, but I do see your point.
Ok thanks :)
