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.
Good video. Very helpful and comprehensive information.
Awesome info for a nebie to jointers like me! Many thanx for sharing!
You did a great job , thank you
Very clear and well shot angles for a tutorial, would be great to see a video on the infeed and outfeed tables, that seems to be much more difficult than setting knives
thanks for posting.
Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you for this video just what I needed for my Jet Jointer!
I will check it out, Thanks!
Thanks for making this video, I just picked up a second-hand jointer and it will need a touch up.
simple perfect !!!!
Sure wish there was a schematic of what the "Gib screws" are adjusting. Are they eccentric bolts, like cams? Which screw(s) address which issues? If they are meant to take up slop from use, then they spend years being completely backed out until that happens?
Awesome
I just got one of these, there is a layer of rust, and I have never used a joiner. Any suggest how to get this back into working condition?
Thank you for this helpful video. Could you please recommend what I can do about this problem -- the "key" that engages my jointer's cutterhead with the drive belt frequently pops out. When it does I realign and put it back in as far as I can, and a while later it pops out again. Any solutions would be welcome. Thank you.
I've got this same model. Does anyone else have a problem with the shavings clogging the chute? Even with a shopvac attached?
Hi , Ive a delta DJ20/8", just had the infeed table machined, shes perfect now, same as the outfeed. Ive been following this system to set co-plane of both tables where you start by setting the outfeed 15/1000 above the cutterhead, then do same with the infeed. The outfeed is set perfectly as is the cutterhead end of the infeed table but the start end of the infeed table,(opposite the cutterhead), just wont raise high enough to match the 15/1000 everywhere else. Even with the cams turned to their highest point. Ive heard about "shims/wedges", is this what I need to fix my problem? Could you perhaps shed some lite on shims/wedges, IE: what, when, where, how? Or if you've any other suggestions on how to resolve my issue. Thanks a lot Sir.
So why is everybody ignoring instructions about setting the infeed table? I 've watched a half dozen of these videos now and have yet to see anyone deal with that.
you don't really "set" it. It IS the reference. You flatten it, depending on how your machine is built. There should be some gib screws that will raise and lower a cam or screws that position it.
Could you speak a little more slowly LOL!
