Pro's When...I own a DW 735 planer, bought new. <br />Pro's When it works, it planes very smoothly but is slow, particularly on real hard wood and boards over eight inches. Blades are pretty durable and easy to change. I get extra life from the blades by honing them gently with a 300 grit diamond stone. The exhaust system is exceptional, except for the problems described.<br />Con"s Originally my machine was equipped with Allen screws to secure the blades, that were torqued so tightly I had to take it to a service center as the Allen wrench provided rounded over and wouldn't loosen the screws. DeWalt has since replaced the Allens with Torx head screws that work fine. From the beginning the machine has accumulated lots of shavings in the compartment over the blades, which have accumulated sufficiently to jam the gear mechanism that raises and lowers the cutting heads. Trouble was diagnosed by a DeWalt service center as a defective shroud over the blades; DeWalt replaced one that was worse than the original and told me to go away when I took the machine back. I bought another shroud that was as bad as the first two. (A DeWalt tech told me, " They all do that". He knew, why doesn't DeWalt. This is obviously a design or factory defedt. Incidentally. if you need to remove the main cover to expose the fan housing, you will need two sizes of Allen wrenches, a Phillips screwdriver, and two sizes of Torx. DeWalt has to know about this too.<br />So, if you are willing to put up with these inconveniences, this is a pretty good planer.<br />Me? I'm stuck for $600.
