Powerful 15 Amp Motor for Deep, Clean Cuts

Benchtop planers are a long-term investment that allow you to buy rough stock and dimension it yourself. They also make creating custom materials easier, which, makes getting great results easier.

This planer's powerful 15 amp motor handles a wide range of tough hardwoods, and its three-knife cutterhead spins at 10,000 RPM to provide 96 cuts per inch.

Reversible, Disposable Knives for Convenience

The DEWALT DW734 uses razor sharp knives that are reversible and disposable. These knives last 30 percent longer than traditional disposable knives, helping you avoid costly and time-consuming resharpening.

For fast, easy, one-tool knife changes, a set of pins machined on the cutter-head goes through holes machined on the knife. This helps you quickly locate the fresh knife and refasten the knife clamp.

Effective Dust and Debris Management

The DW734 planer includes a dust hood that attaches to a shop vacuum or standing dust collector (sold separately) for efficient collection of chips and debris.

Large Capacity and Easy, Accurate Depth Adjustment

This planer's extra-long infeed and outfeed tables provide 33-1/2 inches of material support. A turret depth stop saves you time when setting the machine at commonly used depths.

In addition, the planer's material-removal gauge and extra-large thickness scale help ensure every pass is accurate. A four-column carriage lock drastically reduces the movement that causes material damage, or snipe, when planning near the end of a board.

This sturdy planer weighs 80 pounds. It offers a maximum cut depth of 1/8 inch, a depth capacity of 6 inches, and a width capacity of 12-1/2 inches.

This DW734 12-1/2-Inch Thickness Planer with Three Knife Cutterhead comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried planning off paint on cedar with this machine? I have hundreds of feet to recycle
Answer:	yes. I've removed paint and finish with this.. not on cedar, but on mahogany and oak. However, do keep in mind that this will greatly impact the working life of the blades. But that's a small price to pay for such convenience. I say go for it. You'll love the result and it sure beats sanding or scraping with a card scraper.
Question:	Can the in-feed and out-feed rollers or carriage lock be adjusted to reduce snipe
Answer:	Make the last or final pass a very minimul cut depth ie. 1/64. This helps with snipe. The bigger the cut, the more snipe you will get. Make sure the material is support flat against the table as it begins the cut, and on the exit table as well. The pressure rollers tend to make the board 'tip' as it enters and exits (this is typical in any planer, even the big industrial ones found in mill houses). As far as waxing the tables, i much prefer to use a table top silicon type lube usually sold in spray cans at your local wood supply. These leave a non build moisture resistant film that will not only make the table very slick, but leave no waxy residue that can transfer to your lumber and cause finishing issues. Wax that transfers to your lumber can act as a release agent when applying typical lacquer base or poly type finishes. Last but not least, some snipe is considered acceptable from any planer. It's just the way it is. Always start with a board thats a few inches longer than finish length and plan on cutting off the ends. These little planers are better than most, but you can never plan on not haveing some snipe.
Question:	My first project with this will be planing 8"-10" wide Jatoba planks. How many linear feet can I expect to get out of one set of knives
Answer:	i really can not tell you , i still running my first set of knives and i have ran many hundred of feet thru , and they still run great we run oak, pine ,maple ,ash, walnut, beech , lot of oak &ash
Question:	are you happy with this purchase? or do you wish you got the 13" model with 2 speeds for $150 more
Answer:	I'm a hobbyist and have had the DW734 for about a year now. Most of my planning had been hardwoods, Maple, Cherry, Walnut and some Purple Heart. None of them have had complicated figure. The widest board I've run through the machine was about a 9" glue up. I've gotten very good results and virtually no tear out. For my purposes an extra 1/2" in width and 2 speeds wouldn't make any difference in my projects. For me, this was a great buy. Depending on your needs, your results may var :)

User questions & answers

Question:	I change the blades and now it is hard to push through
Answer:	If you take a thick pass, it will. I usually make sure I have enough wood left to take some shallow passes to get rid of the snipe.
Question:	I reversed the blades and now the rollers will not pull it through...any comments
Answer:	First I like the way this Mikita planner works for me it is simple does what it is supposed to do. A friend has Dewalt it is OK for him because he just turns bowls. When I was looking for a planner I did not see Steel City Tool Works 40200H 13. From an engineering stand point I think the helical cutting head has advantages.Good luck!
Question:	Tech details indicate pack quantity is 1. the 734 is a 3 blade planer. do i have to buy 3 packages at $45.94 each? or are there 3 knives in the pack
Answer:	According to the Makita manual the shortest piece to run thru the planer is 5 1/16.
Question:	Will these blades work on the 735 model
Answer:	Hello, glad to help! Our camping cot is easy to fold and unfold. To fold it up, just press down and push the two ends of this cot toward each other.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this belt work with dw735 dewalt 13" planner
Answer:	I forget. I eventually got it after a couple of tries. All I know is DO NOT BUY FROM BUCKEYE TOOL, they would not allow me to return an unused belt that they incorrectly marked as fitting my DeWalt planner, and stuck me with a useless $30 rubber band. DO NOT SHOP AT BUCKEYE TOOL!
Question:	Does this fit on dewalt dw735 planer
Answer:	Great question. My hand is 8.25 inches from the bend in my wrist to the tip of my middle finger. The glove I bought was a size 10 and barely fits.
Question:	I have a dewalr dw 734 planer and i have a replacement belt part # 429962-08. is this the right belt for this planeer
Answer:	I recently bought these and they have exactly what the new ones have so i do not know what the difference is . I would suggest that you buy a size bigger than you normally do because they seem to run small.
