DW735 Planer Deep-Dive Maintenance

- Learn how to do "deep-dive" lubrication and Thermal Overload Switch replacement on your DeWalt DW735 Thickness Planer in this video. Stiff drive chains and/or dry roller bushings can cause the motor to overheat from extra friction and trip the protective thermal overload switch but proper lubrication will maintain peak performance and keep downtime to a minimum.
Continual tripping of the Thermal Overload Switch causes it to become overly sensitive and prone to tripping frequently requiring replacement. There's more than a few pro-tips for making this responsible maintenance go quickly and smoothly so check out the video to save time by learning from my mistakes!

I just bought this Dewalt planer DW735 and it was only used once but over 10 years ago. when i started it up , the rollers weren't turning . this video was 100% very helpful !!! great Job!!!
Glad to hear it Scott... now that your new toy is up and running you might be interested in this NLC video showing ongoing maintenance for peak performance: ruclips.net/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/видео.html
Lots of good info here. Thanks for the maintenance reminder... Those " #1 Phillips" screws can be loosened, usually without stripping, if you take the bit and grind off the sharp point to make it more like the tip from a #2. The bit will then seat deeper into the screw head and grip like it should. The bits/screwdrivers called "#1 Phillips" are more like the "Reed & Prince" of days gone by; a slightly steeper angle and more pointy. That's why they slip. I've been nipping off a bit of the tip for 30-ish years and haven't had much of a problem since. Cheers from Alberta, Canada.
Thanks for the additional tips and insight... definitely worth paying more attention to the fit of tip and screw to avoid the frustration I felt with a less-than-great tip/screw fit!
Best,
Matt
To prevent cross threading, turn screws backwards until you hear a click, or feel the threads seat/align, then tighten as normal.
Thanks for putting this video together. It helped me install a new carriage, basically having to take the entire planer apart. You're absolutely right about other videos not doing some of things you did. Your unfettered behavior made it that much more enjoyable.
That was a clever idea, having 'Chip' button up the machine while you did a bit of a commercial. A little humor and a time saver.
Excellent session, you make it look so easy. The DW735 is a workhorse but as you demonstrated, maintenance is required. Thanks for taking us thru the steps A-Z.
Thanks! BTW this video covers more routine maintenance I do and recommend for the DW735 Thickness Planer:j
ruclips.net/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/видео.html
to minimize the need for 'deep dive' measures in this video.
Thanks again for the in-depth video. I love these videos and all the tips and tricks you include.
Thanks for the tip on shifting the blades and will definitely clean the pieces before running them through.
Love your videos and your humor. Great as always.
Thanks Matt. Great tips, very helpful.
Well thought out and presented. I will be doing the deep dive maintenance procedure. Good job outta you!
Great informative video brother. I have this planer and I will do this deep cleaning this weekend. THANK YOU!
I'm picking my new DW735 up today and your videos are excellent! Thank you, Sir.
Good input on the 3mm screws
Great maintenance video.
Nice job sir. Very insightful, indeed! Thanks
Excellent video, I've had my 735 for over 10 years and between your two maintenence videos have a whole new level to attain. Its particularly gummed up with pine pitch making faux beams I saw on your other videos. I feel like a kid again watching the New Yankee Workshop! Thank you and keep the vids coming.
Always very clear and thoughtful explanation. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video - great explanation of the process and tups to make it easier. I have this same planer and have done no maintenance to it since i got it - definately going to do it now thanks to you.
That was an excellent video. I have the same machine and will now plan to do the same maintenance on mine, and now I know how to do it. Thanks Matt.
Excellent. Now I know what I have neglected to do for my planer and why the drive belt conked out last night.
This is the sort of lesson we only need to learn once, right? Hope you're back up and running soon and are better able to avoid future events. 😎
Thanks for this video! Great info and lots of helpful ideas.
I too have a DW735. It is ready for a deep cleaning. Thanks for the video and all the tips.
Make sure to check out the Care and Feeding video too (if you haven't already): ruclips.net/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/видео.html thanks for watching... and subscribing!
I don't have a planer, but thank you for the detailed information on servicing this planer and all the detailed explanations and projects that you make.
Thanks for the info 👍 good job 😊
This is great!! I’ve been waiting for a while on a comprehensive video on the DW735, so thanks! I recently replaced mine, but the first one lasted a good 12 years+ ! Definitely worth the $$ especially if space is a premium.
fantastic video -- perhaps one of the best i have seen -- helped me solve the same problem you had -- planed hard maple all afternoon without a problem -- thank you
Thanks Matt, this vid was extremely informative being that I have the same planer.. Love your content...
Great video👍👍👍
Thanks Matt, I just bought the same machine a few months back so this will come in handy once I get a few more boards through it.
Thanks again, this video was fantastic!
Great video
Thank you so much! I had no idea how to remove the rollers and inspect and or replace them if needed. I appreciate your efforts.
Great video ☺️
Simply the most outstanding video on maintenance for this Dewalt planer that I have seen. Thank you so much for putting this together especially having the links for the lubricants and the screws that I am also purchasing for mine!
This video is really helpful! it helped me to locate the problem I had with my planer.
Just like a Boss! Great vid! TY
great video and very informative. truly professionally done. dewalt should be proud.
Well done - thanks.
awsome video!!
thanks for the video and the sharing of your knowledge\
All I need to say is JOB WELL DONE! You taught me how to better keep my Dewalt thickness planer in top working condition. I enjoy watching your videos.
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks, very helpful
Thanks much, a few years on, this video is still the best overview and info on this problem and some great suggestions for the process. Much appreciated.
I recently replaced the thermal overload switch on my 735 and didn't know about that hidden screw. Ugh! Thankfully the plastic cover is malleable enough I was able to bend it out far enough to replace the switch. Now I know for the future. Thanks Matt
Fantastic! I did the deep dive maintenance which fixed the poor feed by the rollers. Really appreciate the tutorial.
That tool you showed at the end look MIGHTY interesting! Great breakdown of planer maintenance.
Thx Greg... I can't wait to share how much you know about just how interesting that little tool is my friend! Spoiler Alert: anyone who happens to read this thread will be surprised to learn how much more Greg's Garage knows about that little tool than he's letting on in his comment! Stay tuned!!
Great video really appreciate all the info !
thank you for sharing, exactly the video I needed today.
You're sure welcome... good luck with your deep-dive maintenance session! 😎
Outstanding video Matt! I have this same planer and admit that I have not done this deep dive clean / lube. With that said and your video I am going to order the screws and get into this maintenance task! Thanks for posting, very helpful!
Lots of great info and ideas here (using tape to make a label recording the maintenance, upgrading the screws, and lubricating the chains with T-9), thank you for taking the time to film and post!
Youbetcha Mike... thanks for being a subscriber to the Channel! Best, Matt
Really interesting and informative video.
Wow, thank you so much for this video. Subbed
great video
Excellent!
Just found you and definitely subscribed. Looking forward to other videos; have to review this one and will hit the tip jar.
This was great! Thanks!
Thanks for the tips in this video. I just put a Shelix cutter head into my dw735. It’s a terrific upgrade. I’m going to go thru these tune up steps next.
I just joined a MakerSpace and got an introduction to the Wood Lab. One session on the Planer I was hooked. I was given a 2006 DW735 that wouldn't feed with only about 10 hours on it. Wasn't sure if I could fix it but wanted to try. This video and the Care and Feeding gave me wonderful instructions on how to take it apart and diagnose the problem. Broken sprocket on the drive chain. I ordered the part tonight and now on to the Deep Dive Cleaning. Your video is so good, even an old lady with no experience is looking good. I signed up as a subscriber right away and looking forward to a great education.
Very cool maint. process man, I am thinking about buying the DeWalt planner like yours or the latest model and now I will know how to do maintenance when it's needed. Thanks.
Phenomenal video! Thank you for posting this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Looks like you've invested a good deal of time and effort building up your channel... I wish you all the best in your endeavors! Best, Matt
another excellent video thanks
Very good demo
My husband has one of this planers and I’ll definitely show your video to him. He hasn’t done any type of maintenance so I really appreciate you sharing your experience and tips. Thank you!
Show him the 'Care and Feeding' video too Miriam... it's likely that your husband will find that video more applicable than this in the short term. ruclips.net/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/видео.html Planer performance can degrade quickly and lead to disappointing results that basic maintenance will help significantly. Best, Matt
I don't own a DW735, but watched it anyway for lessons that might apply to my planar, and while there weren't any i could see, one tip I did find useful wasto replace Phillips head screws with cap screws. Then I thought, if they are knurled, they would be even better. I will now be looking for places to use such screws. Thanks Matt.
Sir, thank you so much - really, excellent video.
Great video as always. I just took a deep dive into your store! My wife found me the DW 735 at a garage sale a few years ago for $125. Just needed the drive belt and a new power cord and cleaning, lube and knives. I bought a spherical head later, but have not started the install yet because I struggle every time I open up the thing. Maybe no more after watching this video.
Hey great idea for you, a NLC blade changeout from straight to spherical! I would pay to see that!
Thanks again for an awesome deep dive.
loved the video it was very informative
Thanks for the tutorial. I need to take mine apart and do some mantenance.👍👍
It's a good idea to take care of more routine stuff first because it's often all that's needed for peak performance...
ruclips.net/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/видео.html
but there's always the Deep Dive if more is required...
Best, Matt
Thanks for the informative video.
Have small shop myself. 😎
Excellent video and now I feel comfortable replacing my rollers. Too late but good luck and I hope the safety switch held.
Amazing! Very helpful, thank you :))
Good Video thanks
Thanks so much for helping thousands of woodworkers that own this product. I doubt I would have even thought about doing the maintenance you did if you hadn't shown us how.
You're welcome TopG... you'll find, like I do, how much better performance and results you get out of your DW735 by doing some of these steps. Have you seen this other planer video I did?: ruclips.net/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/видео.html The more routine mantenance it shows helps extend the life and increase the performance of this venerable workshop workhorse! Best, Matt
Great video, valuable info. I just purchased a new DW735x Planer, but I watched this maintenance video in it's entirety anyway. Subscribed. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the sub... and for watching this video. Hopefully it will be a LONG time before you need to do any deep-dive maintenance. In the meantime you might appreciate the more routine/periodic maintenance and blade-changing stuff I show in this video: ruclips.net/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/видео.html
BTW The part about waxing the planer platen is the most frequent TLC I give to my planer...
Best,
Matt
Thanks for the tips. You've reminded me that I need to break my DW735 down and give it some lovin'.
I've learned the hard way - have a spare v-belt. I have a Craftman 12" bandsaw that has belts made much like the DW735, only smaller. Those belts (even the after market ones) seem to want to dry out and fall a part at the most inopportune time.
thank you for your video it was just what i needed to fix mine , Thank you again Eric
You're welcome... the repairs aren't all that difficult but a bit of insight into what you're getting into is nice 😉😎 As follow up: I found that loose blade connectors on my thermal switch was the main cause of my planer tripping out but it does run more smoothly with everything cleaned up and bearings lubed... Best, Matt
Awesome video Just bought my new DW 735 will for sure keep your video for future maintenance and yes I did subscribe to your channel you do a great job
Thanks Sea Ray... if you use the info in this video for regular maintenance: ruclips.net/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/видео.html you shouldn't need to do a 'deep dive' for a LONG time 😎
Best, Matt
PS Thx for the sub!
Excellent video I always appreciate your resourcefulness and detail I'm getting ready to clean up my dw735, I've watched your other video on clean up before and was looking for it to watch again when I found this one. Thanks Mike
Kudos for giving your DW735 a bit of TLC Michael... I can tell you from experience that it works better and lasts longer when you treat it with attention and respect even if you work it hard...
Best,
Matt
Great video, I like the way you overcome issues, thoughtfully and creatively. Nice also to see careful and considered risk taking and mitigation in a world that safety would like to see covered in Nerf but then there’s some who don’t consider risk....
A world 'covered in Nerf...' LOL!! 😂😂😎
What a great video! The only thing complaint I have is that the reason I found your video was because I was looking for a video that showed how to maintain the height adjustment crank. I fortunately, you didn’t cover that part. Thanks again for this video. It helped with all the other stuff.
Great job I watch your channel a lot. You remind me of my father who was know as tool man genius.
Matt: "My phone is always syncing so I named it Titanic." That's the best line I've heard in years. Great video(s) as always Matt, much appreciated.
I stole that from someone more clever than I but always glad to pay it forward! Best, Matt
Great Video!
Love your videos, very helpfu,l thanks
It might be time for some brushes for the drive motor. At the end of their life, they can draw a larger load. I don't know if they are replaceable, but it's worth a shot. Love the videos! I started a workbench cabinet with drawers for my dad's old workbench. It has turned into quite a project and reminds me how much I really don't enjoy working with wood. I'm a metal guy! Every time I start a wood project, I sell all my tools when I am done. I don't have the artistic ability that one needs for woodworking but I do enjoy these videos that you work so hard to put out! Thanks again.
I'm used to larger, corded routers ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
Had an awful high pitched sound coming from somewhere on my planer. Suspected it was from the rollers or cutter head. DW735 had about 1 hour use so it was brand new. Followed your video exactly, turned it on after greasing it all and the high pitched whine sound is gone. Just the normal, terribly loud noise it always makes. Still not sure exactly what it was, but it seems fine now. Your video is awesome because you explain what all the parts do and how it works as your taking it apart. Very helpful. Also flipping it on its back made it way easier!!
I can't thank you enough for these videos. You saved me from experiencing the issues you did! Forgot to come thank you back in June when I installed my Shelix cutterhead, and your deep dive maintenance. I purchased my unit used so taking it apart for a clean and tune up was a must. I used your amazon links to purchase some of the suggested items. Grateful for all the knowledge you shared!
You're sure welcome... thanks for watching AND using those links! Glad to hear you found this helpful. You may have come across this general maintenance video already but here's a link in case you haven't : ruclips.net/video/r_yEwlsYGbU/видео.html The video shows exactly what I do to get peak performance out of a great planer...
Best, Matt
Luckily I watched your video before starting the maintenance on my planer. Thanks a lot for saving me a lot of hassles. I took your advice and switched screws. The Sand Flex worked great although I have no idea what it is made of. Seems kind of like a gritty eraser. The label makes it sound like it's for removal of rust/tarnish/etc from metal so it should come in handy. Turning the planer upside down is so obvious (once you think of it). Thanks again for the time saving tips.
Another great video, Matt.
Thanks Curtis... are you back in town? I've got a 'leading question' for you and may give you a call to run it by you if you're around.
This is a fantastic video! You’re precise and thorough in everything you do and more importantly, what you say. I appreciate the recommendations regarding fastener replacement. I’m finding it necessary to replace a sprocket on the transmission side and I may as well perform the maintenance. My DW735 has served me well for 15 years.
Thanks to the detailed descriptions in your video, I was able to easily remove, service and replace the rollers, easily. I'm glad now I took the drive and idler chains off to inspect these, as the rear roller was gummed-up so badly, it would barely turn even when applying quite a bit of force.
You mentioned that you made note of the offset in the roller blocks; The thin portion goes up toward the spring. I also noticed that there in a notch machined on the opposite side that was referenced toward the center of the roller. I also made sure to keep the blocks matched to the end they came off of, as tolerances may differ on each end.
I added a small amount of grease on both sides of the thin washer that's installed between the drive sprocket on the gear box and the gear box roller shaft bushing. As the roller turns, it will (hopefully) help to prevent any further wear.
My planer was given to me by my Father-In-Law who used it frequently, for over 13 years. Somehow the upper assembly had shifted downward toward the left-rear, so that the left-rear was sitting about 5/32" lower than the rest of the upper assembly.
Seeing as how I had most of the machine apart to begin with - *your* video was an added step in its *deep-dive maintenance*.
I'd like to also add that your tip to replace the screws with the 5mm x 10mm button head was a great idea as well! Channels like yours are always a pleasure to watch and learn from, so thank you - again.
Thanks for watching and commenting on this one... thanks as well for adding so many useful insights from your experience in getting your planer up and running like it was meant to!
I'm sure you will find as I have that a little bit of TLC goes a long way in the performance of your like new dw735! 😎
Best, Matt
Wow, great video. Got the same exact planer, I recently switched out my thermal breaker through the switch hole. Worked, but was a finger twisting experience! I can see a full maintenance on my planer in the near future, thanks for the great content!
I feel your pain Ken... had the same miserable experience the first time before getting older and schmarter!
Grazie, bel video molto interessante, e grazie alle tue spiegazioni su questa pialla, come le descrizioni molto dettagliate, per la giusta manutenzione, apprezzo molto di più il prodotto, che spero di acquistare molto presto. Grazie mille
Quality information in a Quality video... I just replaced my straight cutter heads with a Shelix segmented cutter head. It is the second best thing I've done with that planer. the best thing I've done with it was to follow your plans for maintenance. I had to laugh when you started talking about the problem getting the rollers installed. Instead of fighting gravity, use it as a tool.
A big thumbs up on a detailed video!
Please do an update on this video after you have put the planer through a demanding project. The part that you replaced is described as a circuit breaker on the internet and it will protect the motor and all other wiring in the machine from being damaged when the entire machine circuit is overloaded. The potential damage would come from overheated motor windings or other internal wires.
I suspect that the 'deep dive' cleaning and lubrication will help a great deal by lowering the demands on the motor. The circuit breaker was just doing its job.
Excellent video, thanks for the great info and presentation. I’ve got the 735X and it’s a Type 1 so that base plate cannot be replaced. Mine is scratched badly so I had to order a replacement base, the whole thing ... at a cost of $200. I’m going to replace it tomorrow so I started searching RUclips and found this. Instruction on replacing the base is not in this video so I will continue searching but I wanted to thank you for this great content
I love Boeshield. It works great. And, yes, I worked for Boeing for nearly 36 years!!! 😎
