Dewalt thickness planer

[HMwoodworking 0]

So my Ryobi planer kicked the bucket. I was planing down some Santos Mahogony that was really rough. The motor just quit. Brushes seemed good just done.
So I went shopping. I picked up the Dewalt dw735 planer. What an upgrade. The depth cut gage is spot on. I did a test cut using a micrometer and planed a 3/32” cut off some maple. It was only .004” off. That’s pretty good. I’ve seen different upgrades but don’t know if I need to get them. Let me know if there are some essentials I should look at. Thanks. The link below is the review I did on it.

Infeed and outfeed tables.   Run on #2 unless you have some highly figured wood.  And a better set of blades.. Available at Infinity tools. You'll buy 3 sets of Dewalt blades to one set of those from Infinity.   And you could always use good dust collection like this.

Aw hell, Dave... It's the best DC I ever had... But I got rid of the truck a few months ago, the fuel pump was going out on it. And to replace it would have meant an overhaul of the motor  New fuel pump on a 250,000 mile truck, would have forced a overhaul.  Got a 4runner for it.

HM,

Welcome to the forums

The more you hang out here the more you will find out that the planner you purchased Is owned by a large proportion of the membership here. 

What Richard mentioned above is good advice, the infeed and outfeed tables and better blades when you wear out the ones you have.

Thanks. I’m thinking of building a drop in table for it giving me my indeed and Outfeed. 

Musing the truck bed as a dust collector is a good idea but I don’t have chickens at the moment so no need to haul my chips anywhere.

Oh, I don't use  the chips for chickens, I live in the boondocks, so, I take the chips for a ride out here in the country at higher than legal speed, and mulch the shoulders of the 1 1/2 car wide roads.

I wondered how you got the chips out!

The flora on that stretch of road is the healthiest in the whole state of Tennessee.

Good way to get rid of leaves without burning them, too.

 Nah, I compost the leaves, and where I have a veggie garden I cover with about 6" of leaves in the fall.  In the spring, just till them in, it's called sheet composting.
